<p>Spillmaker: </p> <hr /> <div>== Page Title ==<br /> <br /> I've moved this page to its current name to make it a bit more obvious what it's about, but if anyone can come up with a snappier (but neutral) name that still conveys the right info, feel free to change it [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 10:28, 18 January 2025 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == How to verify and add Cameras? ==<br /> <br /> I've got an eos 70D and it requires the Webcam Utiltiy as far as i know. I also can't take the Route of using an HDMI Capture, because my camera doesn't support &quot;clean HDMI Output&quot; and displays all the information on the camera settings, even through HDMI. How do I verify everything that it can be added to this site?<br /> <br /> == Clarifications about Hardware capabilities vs what the software provides? ==<br /> After talking with this with others, there seems to be some confusion as to what was actually a hardware capability vs an addition that the software provides. It seems like the page has been renamed to more accurately discuss the software, but i think its not clear enough as to what features where removed from the user with the added subscription.<br /> <br /> From my understanding the software doesn't enable 1080p output from legacy cameras, but instead takes the original feed from cameras that is a low resolution liveview that doesnt support the UVC standard, and upscales it. (Canon calls it &quot;Digital Upscale&quot; in their [http://web.archive.org/web/20250119231746/https://www.usa.canon.com/cameras/eos-webcam-utility/download feature list on their own website])<br /> <br /> It is also unclear to me if the possibility to get the webcam feed from legacy cameras at all was something that was removed or hidden behind the subscription whenever the subscription was added. <br /> Ive been told that nothing that was free in the software got moved over to the paid subscription plan, but i have no objective sources to back that up. (Hence why i write this in the discussion page if to hear if someone has sources for this)<br /> <br /> Based on that it seems to me that this page is about a) the software &quot;Canon EOS Webcam Utility&quot; and not the cameras themselves and b) the fact that digital upscale of the source resolution among other &quot;advanced features&quot; is behind a paywall, and not about features that was previously free, getting put behind a paywall.<br /> <br /> Is this a correct observation from me? If it is correct im still confused about the &quot;changed the terms of the sale&quot; aspect of this page.<br /> <br /> I hope this discussion page was the correct way for me to raise these questions.</div>
