Field notes

ViewportCam describes a USB / PTP path from Canon EOS live view and camera settings into a native macOS webcam extension, making the feed available to video applications across the system. The page specifies 1920×1080 output, selectable 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps, and ten tested camera profiles. It also distinguishes verified support from experimental best-effort compatibility for other Canon bodies, while noting that available features vary by camera model and shooting mode.
