Camera Device for AR

By mrekuc on Tue, 08/07/2018 - 13:20

Hello!

We are looking at using a higher end camera for an event which will run on windows and were considering this one below. It does have a Unity API and capture card to get the camera feed into unity. Does anyone know if a set up like this would work with Vuforia or by device in Vuforia does it have to be a standard webcam with USB connections?

 

Here's the camera:  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1318043-REG/blackmagic_design_cinstudmft_uhd2_blackmagic_design_studio_camera.html

Here's the capture card: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1044783-REG/blackmagic_design_bdlksdi4k_decklink_sdi_4k.html?sts=pi

Here's the API: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/video/avpro-decklink-68784

It has to look like a standard USB Webcam to the computer for Unity editor and Vuforia to read it.  I have a feeling this is probably not the case with this set up.
