Best Video Camera to use with MixEmergency

djrussell

Anyone successfully using the Live Video Input feature of ME. What is your application and what camera are you using? I have been playing with a GoPro Hero4 Session and am looking at a Sony Action Cam, i don't think either one will work.

I use the Mobiola app on my iPhone 6 with the olloclip fisheye lens. Wifi app. Can walk around with the cam if you want

I've run that app before. My 5s looks sloppy. I found a solution for a live cam. I swapped the Hero4 Session for a Hero4 Silver. I connect to the camera via a HDMI to HDMI mini and connect to a BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle. The GoPro has to be set to 720-60fps. The BlackMagic has to be set to output 1080 30 fps. ME has to be set to 720p 59.94. Connect and the power down and up the gopro.

Wowzers. That seems like a lot of work. Have you tried the front-facing camera on your 5S? Won't be "as good" as the GoPro, but you will be able to do 720HD (I believe that's what the 5S front-facing camera is) on HD quality settings via Mobiola

I want to set up go pro to live feed for mix emergency has anyone set up go pro hero 4 silver using mini hdmi to hdmi to BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle output Then can I run thunderbolt to macbook pro ?

poproxx Wowzers is right. Using gopro Silver 4 into BM Intensity Shuttle is a pain and too much work.
