I’m new here on the forum and signed up to share my experience with the ESP32 cam and Lightburn.
As often asked, I wanted to connect the camera via IP with Lightburn.
In doing so, I encountered two problems:
old drivers like IpCameraDriver did not recognize my camera.
when using software to set up virtual cameras, they were recognized by Windows but not by Lightburn. e.g. OBS-Studion,
After a lot of experimentation and even more frustration, I ended up being able to use SplitCam and Lightburn recognized the camera without any problems.
We’ve been discussing camera setups in another thread, and I was having issues getting OBS virtual cam to display in LightBurn, so SplitCam was suggested. SplitCam works inside LightBurn, but now the issue is the aspect ratio is 4:3 and not 16:9 like OBS would display. You can see the difference in this gif below. Any idea on how to get SplitCam to the correct aspect of my camera (3840x2160 30 fps stream)
It looks like 1920x1080 is the highest supported 16:9 AR. This would be a perfect 4:1 reduction from your target resolution and probably one of the most likely to be supported.
This had no affect on the aspect ratio in LightBurn. Nothing I set the input/output resolution makes a difference. I’ll just keep waiting for the official LightBurn bridge camera support.
