For livestreaming, I've been outputting using the micro usb port in my Canon 90D. I decided to "upgrade" my setup by purchasing an Elgato Cam Link + Mini HDMI export cable. I love Elgato products, I've been using their Key Lights and Stream Deck for years. For some reason though, my camera quality now looks worse when using the Cam Link + Mini HDMI. The colors seem more muted. I've played around with the color settings in OBS (4:30 section of the vid) but that hasn't seemed to help. Any thoughts? One quick thought I had; my canon doesn't have a "Standard Video Mode" like you referenced in 1:20 . Most of the time I've kept it set to the green A+. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the green A+ mode lets you export clean HDMI output. Instead I've set the camera to "TV" Mode. Maybe this is driving it?
@moodberry Жыл бұрын
How do you set the parameters on the video quality and especially make it so that when you reboot your computer the Akaso comes up automatically as a USB camera. For me, I have to choose from the camera menu each time to make it be a "PC Camera". I just want that to be automatic, as well as the parameters in the camera to stay what I set them for. Can I do that?

Hello, I have a problem with my camera and I hope you have a solution. When I want to use the Elgato Camlink, the problem is that the Display is displayed, "raw". For example, if I activate the video mode, the rendering will be different, the colours will vary a little, the "grains" will disappear etc", the quality is much better. How do I get this "super display" all the time? Thank you
