Hello @biviel
I received my Theta Z1 and did some tests with it.
I am disappointed by the fact that i cannot charge the Z1 while using ethernet, but i did test it with a direct USB cable to a macbook pro.
So i have a first working solution of my setup (minus the 5 meters cable that is still being delivered), with the Z1 connected to a OBS Browser Source (yeah, kinda mindblowing) which is a Three.JS page for reframing the webcam while the “raw” video stream will also being recorded in parallel (thank you MacOS for non-exclusive input devices), which is then sent to my streaming PC through NDI. I may have something like 500ms of latency.
NOTE: Using Three.JS is my personal best shot as i’m a big noob with Unity and Unreal. And it’s only working on my Mabcook, because for some reason, my PC is really bad at using a 4K webcam stream in a webpage.
Now, i would like to explore alternatives, do you have a release available so that i can test SRT ?
Or maybe i could be involved in your beta testing with OBS ?
I would like to try implementing NDI maybe, can you or @craig suggest a starting boilerplate to implement a custom streaming plugin for the Z1 ? Is GitHub - ricohapi/theta-wireless-live-streaming-plugin: Wireless live streaming plug-in for RICOH THETA a good start ?
Thanks a lot guys, i might keep the Theta Z1 for my projects, until maybe Ricoh has a new affordable camera that would better fit my needs.
