Multiple WebCams
-
Hi all,
I'm in test phase for a forthcoming project.
I'm trying to connect 3 webcams to isadora.
I tried both with Izzy 2.2.2 and latest 2.4.5b10.
My config is in my signature, I used my MBP Two Logitech c920 fullHD and one PS3Eye (macam drivers). Project is 1920x1080 @ 50fps.
Every cam is on the same USB3.0 active HUB.
There seems to be a conflict when 2 c920 are on the same port. Activating the first, avoids the second to run.The strange thing is that Modul8 handles it well. (3 webcams on the same hub + facetime)
For the final project I'd like to connect simultaneously at least 3 logitech c920 fullHD on the same HUB (4 would be awesome !)
Is it a bug or a limitation ?
bug report or not ?Best

(I also have page settings problems on the Isadora forum I cannot solve..!) Sorry..

This is a known issue. Connecting usb cams of the same make and model requires the cams to use different USB hosts (a different port on the machine may not be a different host)
Please feel free to enter this as a bug report/feature request. (link in my signature)If M8 is able to handle the configuration, so should Isadora. -
Bug Report sent !

Got it.

As you said DusX, connecting two usb WebCams on the same port isn't stable.
My solution is to "create" a third USB3 port on the Macbook with a thunderbolt-USB3 adapter.Best
