** noting a few MINOR CORRECTIONS to what I said in some places, as I'm too lazy to re-shoot the video: -- the iPhone 15 will likely have a USB port; not the iPhone 14. (Iphone 14 is already out and has with just lightning still) -- I might have mentioned the adapter I was using had a USB port -- it has actually a lightning port for charging, and a lightning connector for your iPhone -- it does not have USB. I simply misspoke. :P -- There might be some less expensive apps that support direct USB with an app install, as I haven't actually bothered to check. An adapter is still pretty cheap in most cases either way.
Thanks alot for te great video Steve. i love your job and always look for any new video's on RU-vid, and this one was - as usual- great and helpfull, many thanks
Nice, I will try using it in a PoE network, try with a PoE-USB-C adapter before the ethernet dongle so it can also provide power without need of an external charger.
Thanks for te great video Steve. I just tried this with LG Velvet and Ugreen Gigabit USB-C hub and it worked perfectly. The insternet speed in this wired setup in the phone is 300mbps limited by my ISP but since the streaming is local I assume the limit would be 1000Mbps?
My budget 100-mbps dongle got 97-mbps, so I presume your 1000-mbps dongle might get close to 1000-mbps. That said, USB 2.0 is limited to 480-mbps, so if the dongle or connection is a USB 2.0 device, you might only get halfway to 1000-mbps. I'd imagine your dongle and phone are connecting via USB 3.x though.. I'm not 100% sure.
@@steve_seguin I tested with iperf3 server running on my desktop and client from phone while wired to the router and the speed is Gigabit (935Mbps max). Then probably as you said, the phone and dongle Type-C connection is USB3.0 not 2.0. Wih wireless AC1200 I am getting 298Mbps in iperf3
VDO.Ninja transports data over networks (UDP), and so you'll need a network connection for it to work. No other mode is offered. It is possible to create a network connection by attaching the phone via USB directly, but it will probably than use your phone's data for everything, or it will require installing software on your computer for reverse tethering, which isn't something most phones support. So other than being much easier, Ethernet also allows you have to longer range, as a USB cable only usually works up to 6 to 10 feet of the host computer, while Ethernet can work anywhere really. If you want to try connecting directly to the computer, it's something you can try, however it's too complicated of an approach for me to offer support with.
Stivi, help me D: I want to use my android as webcam with vdo ninja, the thing is I want to keep using my phone normally while having vdoninja in the background, but android doesnt let an app use the camera while its in the background... how can I bypass this? The best solution I've found is to use a browser and convert it into a floating window, yes it's small but still takes screen space, help help help.
In browser, Apple does not yet provide options to control focus. It is supported in browser on Androids though. I've managed to get zoom in/out I think working in the native VDO.Ninja app for iOS however, and I'll likely have focus or/and exposure controls added there in the coming months.
Okay I have an iPhone 13 and just bought a Ethernet adapter now how can I connect my phone camera to OBS. I don’t get it from the video how to get it connected to obs
Using VDO.Ninja, and then adding the view it provides to an OBS browser source. This video assumes you are a VDO.Ninja user already, apologies. It's free to use of course though.
@@steve_seguin oh yes. I just tried and it definitely works there’s no latency lag like in wifi connection. Even though it is not real-time with my connection. Just tell me do you have a real-time connection with zero latency?
