USB Capture Streaming – Soft Codec
To record video in 4K, or live-stream video for a soft codec presentation, a PC with USB 3.0 is required.
Installation and configuration are as follows:
1. Connect the computer to the USB 3.0 “CAPTURE” port on the back of the EMCEE200.
2. Wait for the computer to install the necessary drivers.
a. The EMCEE200 is recognized and installed as a 4K camera.
b. No extra drivers are required for modern operating systems.
3. Ensure EMCEE200 HDMI output is set to 4K @30Hz (The maximum supported.)
4. Ensure HDCP input and output modes are set to OFF. (See HDCP notice above.)
Live-Streaming Considerations
When using the EMCEE200 to stream video over web-based conference platforms, it is recommended
to bring up the camera feed in a separate application such as OBS Studio and to share the application’s
screen, rather than using the feed as a camera directly. There are two reasons for this:
1. Many web-based applications will perform a horizontal flip of the user’s camera, so that the
user sees a mirrored image of themselves, while the other users see an unaltered image. This
behavior is not ideal for the presenter, as all images and text will appear flipped and difficult to
read.
2. To save on bandwidth, camera feeds sent through these conferencing platforms are highly
compressed. When a user performs a screen share, more bandwidth is allocated to maximize
the clarity of the shared content, such as diagrams and text.
