Hello.I have only a Theta-s. Do you konw the best quality of Theta-s Live Streaming with proper driver?Can it achieve 2K(1920*1080).?Thank you for your answer.
See this for the THETA S
http://theta360.guide/community-document/live-streaming.html
1920x1080 @ 30fps with THETA UVC FullHD Blender which is free software you can download.
Sorry to bother you again.Thanx for your reply some time ago.In Overview, I saw words next:
“HDMI Live Streaming Specifications (RICOH THETA S only)
Dual-Fisheye data in uncompressed YCbCr format is output.
Image size: 1920x1080 / 1280x720 / 720x480
Frame rate: 30fps”
Do you know how to get a video in the form of uncompressed YCbCr(yuv)?I searched for long time but get nowhere.Maybe i must use APi/SDK?If you have some advice ,please share with me . I know it may be not easy,anyway。
Sorry, I don’t know much about this type of video technology or equipment. I’m more of a novice with video standards. The information you’re referring to is here: https://developers.theta360.com/en/docs/introduction/
I don’t have any experience with cards like the Blackmagic Intensity, but I was assuming that you could use those cards to get HDMI video into your computer. I actually don’t know the difference between YCbCr and 4:2:2 YUV myself. I do know that people are using different types of HDMI cards to get the HDMI video into computers, but I don’t know about the technical specifications. The HDMI video is usually popular for people that want to use something like the Teradek VidiU or the Cerevo LiveShell to stream video to something like YouTube without a computer.
Happy to continue the discussion, but just keep in mind that I have limited knowledge of the external HDMI video equipment, so what I mention may not be technically correct.
Maybe someone else can help out here?
Hi guys !
I’m trying to launch a facebook live with a ricoh theta v and Mac OS El Capitan, but my laptop is not reconizing the camera. Anyone can help ?
Did you see this article?
Are you using OBS?
Yes I do but OBS doesn’t recognize ricoh theta v
Does the THETA V work as a webcam in QuickTime?
You have the THETA V in live mode, right?
Are you plugging it into a standard USB port on your Mac, or are you using a USB adapter? I’ve seen some problems with different USB adapters on the Mac. Make sure the connection between the Mac on the THETA V is working by using QuickTime first. If it works in QuickTime, you can move to OBS.
@codetricity Could you please DM me a link to the beta driver for THETA UVC 4K? Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Sent by email and DM. It’s now publicly available from the Ricoh site as well.

The screenshot you posted is from a Mac. The THETA V driver only works on OBS with a Mac.
If you want to use the THETA V driver on Windows 10, you need to use Media Player Classic, not OBS.

Hi codetricity,
Just wondering if the UVC 4K driver is one of the UVC 1.5 category and can we modify it under .net environment?
I have a task using Theta V and push image from theta to other app automatically.
Thanks again for you posting
The UVC 4K driver for the THETA V is compliant with UVC 1.5. However, I do not think it supports the entire UVC 1.5 specification.
I do not know about control under the .NET environment.
A community member is using Windows 10 with direct show to get the modes and KS_H264VIDEOINFO for debugging.
The community does not have a lot of information on this, so you would be forging new ground.
If you’re just trying to push an email, can you using the normal WiFi API or the USB API?
Thank you very much, since it can stream using OBS in Windows so it should work in .net environment. Will look some more .
Thank you again
After going thru the thread, I realize the reason I don’t get stream on my pc is because my windows version is too old (Win7 build 7601)
Thanks for everyone’s post I know win 10 version 1703 will have the driver built in
but is there a way to install the driver separately but still in my old win7 version?
Many thanks!
I don’t think it will work with Windows 7. You could try the 32 bit version of the Windows 10 driver.
In my windows 10 version 1803 theres NO DRIVER able to connect theta to MPC-HC or OBS.
Im able to view and live streaming in another windows 10 1703 but the audio is not being captured due to the usb 2.0 issues.
I was hoping theres some news on this problems, since i cannot live streaming more than 40 min cause heating (im charging while streaming) or heating+battering low (when not charging)
Are you saying that you don’t have RICOH THETA UVC 4K appearing in the OBS drop-down window? Can you post a screenshot of the OBS selection?
computer 1: I tryed a lot of drivers, UVC 4k, UVC blender. They appear in the drop-down window but in windows 10 version 1803 the error 0x800705AA always show up.
computer 2: windows 10 version 1703, i can view the cam image in MPC-hc and OBS very well, but audio does not work.
Im trying a solution with a pc to compare live streaming in wifi plugin and using a pc, but with audio embed on theta v cam, these are the drivers i tryed on the machine 1, none of them works:
