Magewell Utility Download

[Chanelle Kirksey]

Thanksfor the quick reply. I understand there is no way to create an app for the Chrome browser/Chrome OS. However I have a Chromebook[ LINK DELETED ] and would like to be able to connect it to my Canon 5D Mark IV.

I wonder if it is possible to use Chromebook with my camera without such a card? Perhaps update the Camera firmware so it outputs a video stream similar to the Magewell's output? But that may be beyond the capabilities of the Camera.

All of the "apps" that you install come from one source, Google. All of the "apps" are written by Google. The "apps" that you install are actually extensions on the the Chrome web browser. The Pixel Book is neither a laptop, not a tablet.

Chrome is not a real OS. It only runs web applications, which means you do not need to installl apps. In fact, you really cannot install apps on Chrome OS machines. The fact that it is named after the Google Chrome web browser says it all.

What Waddizzle describes is the original Chromebook concept, but these days Chrome OS devices can run Android applications, and there's a chance of running Linux and Windows programs, so the question of whether the webcam utility will support the platform is not ridiculous.

There is a major difference between running a "software" application like spreadsheet, and "hardware" applications that interacts with the computer hardware and I/O ports like the EOS Utility applications.

The only minimum display resolution that I can find associated with a Canon utility is 1024x768, which even a $200 Chromebook can handle. They're quite a compelling light-duty platform these days, and the small-screen models are ridiculously portable, such that you might be tempted to plug a camera into one just to do image uploads while on to go. Bit of a shame not to be able to use that same camera as a webcam while you're at it.

The real payoff in development effort is probably getting the camera firmware to present itself as a USB video device just like the HDMI-to-USB dongle that Mark's using. Apparently Canon's not able to do that with their existing models (or there'd be no need for the utility).

When I first got the Magewell device it would sometimes just disappear from the USB bus. I have no idea why, nor whether this is a problem with the device, the kernel, my USB ports, cable or hub. I never investigated that in detail, but instead added a workaround. The make_screencast script uses a utility called usbreset. The source for that is at this gist which I found via this stackexchange post. I compiled it and dropped that in /home/alan/bin too.

Magewell, recognised for its video interface, streaming and IP workflow products, has launched its first self-contained production system, Director Mini. Combining multi-input switching, graphics, streaming, recording and monitoring in one compact device, Director Mini is designed for single operators who can use it to create productions for live event coverage, remote production feeds and other applications.

Director Mini has a flexible combination of input sources. Users can switch between two HDMI inputs and two USB AV inputs as well as three simultaneous live IP sources including SRT streams, RTMP streams or up to two NDI HX sources. File-based media assets including video, audio and images can also be combined as required with live sources. Embedded audio is supported on the HDMI and USB inputs alongside a 3.5mm analogue audio input.

Director Mini's user interface is accessed through its integrated 5.44" AMOLED touchscreen. Users can define multiple scenes that combine live HDMI, USB and audio inputs with network streams, media sources and graphics, then switch or transition between these scenes on the fly. Chroma keying enables the use of virtual backgrounds, while telestration enables real-time on-screen drawing and combines with built-in scoreboard functionality to support sports productions. PTZ camera control is also available through the touchscreen, simplifying single-operator productions.

Director Mini's touchscreen interface is complemented by the Director Utility app for iOS and Android devices, which has tools for remote configuration, audio controls, input switching, scoreboard control and other functions. The Director Utility can also turn a smartphone's camera into a streaming source as a mobile input to the Director Mini hardware, further enhancing the multi-camera production possibilities of the system. Up to three mobile devices can be used simultaneously as sources to Director Mini.

Director Mini can encode video up to 1080p at 60 frames per second and bitrates up to 30Mbps, with a flexible array of output possibilities. Productions can be streamed using the RTMP protocol to popular platforms such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live or custom destinations. Live comments can be displayed while streaming to YouTube, Facebook or Twitch.

The ability to output an SRT stream makes Director Mini an excellent tool for contributing high-quality feeds to an off-site location for remote production. Alternatively, the device can create one NDI HX output to serve as a source for additional IP-based production tools. Its USB-C port can be configured to display the program output, user interface or a loop-through of either HDMI input on a connected USB-C display. Last but not least, content can be recorded to an SD card, USB flash drive or the device's internal storage.

The compact Director Mini hardware features a 1/4"-20 thread for use with standard camera-mounting accessories and can be operated in horizontal or vertical orientation. The device can be powered with the included power adapter but also supports two NP-F hot-swappable external batteries (not included), enabling uninterrupted power for long productions.

"Director Mini is designed to make small and mid-sized multi-input productions extraordinarily easy for a single operator," said Nick Ma, CEO and CTO of Magewell. "With support for HDMI and USB AV sources as well as NDI HX, SRT and RTMP streams, it also gives users extreme flexibility in the number and types of inputs they can incorporate into their productions." www.magewell.com
