hey swyx! a "UVC camera" simply refers to a camera that connects to your device over USB. most "typical webcams" are actually UVC cameras. the ones that are not, are the fancy SLR set-ups that you have to jerry-rig to your computer with multiple connectors and hubs. these are the setups that typically cost at least $1k.
- swyx 5y agoahhh ok ok. yeah. i want the dslr quality without the fuss and at maybe 1/3 the price tag. haha.
- Domenic_S 5y agoI use one of those fancy video setups. It consists of a tripod, the camera body & lens, dummy battery for power, and USB-C cable from camera to the mac, no jerry-rigging required. It's a Canon EOS R (a mirrorless camera). Modern cameras have gotten extremely good at this, there's no need for HDMI video cap boxes and so forth anymore.
- mdu96 5y agoOoo awesome :) What lens do you use with your EOS R?
