OBS/Camlink4K/Sony Alpha a6400 - Struggling with settings
Hi! I have a Sony Alpha a6400 hooked up to my computer with the CamLink 4k and being pulled into OBS Studio (31.1.2). My computer is a Lenovo Legion (Intel Core i9-14900HX, 2200 Mhz, 24 Cores) with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.
I livestream to YouTube with educational videos and Q&A's. I keep having this issue where I plug in the capture card and start OBS, and then all the scenes that use the capture card video are just a black screen. Sometimes if I wait, it'll start displaying, but other times I can't get it to ever show up. Today I ran out of time to troubleshoot before my live and had to use my webcam lol.
I attached the properties I have on the source.
1) What might be causing the camera to sometimes be black, and sometimes work? 2) Is there a capture card or set up that's more reliable and more plug and play? I got all this in 2022 so not sure if there's a worthwhile option I should invest in.
