Ustreamer - What is Working for Me with the 8MP 4K-N Lightburn Camera and LB 2.1.00 RC1

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Cameras

I’m running ustreamer on an RPi Zero 2 W to use my LB camera wirelessly on LB 2.1 RC1 which supports access to a camera via HTTP.

I played around with this a fair bit to try to find out the “best” settings for use in Lightburn. Maybe this will save someone some time and effort. I’m not an expert on any of this. If you discover better settings, please share!

Happy New Year!

Thanks for this. I’ll be implementing this in a few places in my shop

You’re welcome. Hopefully it works out well for you.

As an additional follow-up, the 1920x1080 “restriction” seems related to the YUYV encoding. While the camera apparently offers 3264x2448 MJPEG resolution, ustreamer hangs with that option and I actually had to rebuild the RPi/ustreamer setup to recover.

The camera also offers MJPEG in 2048x1536 and 2592x1944 resolutions and both of these work with ustreamer. I haven’t tried this in LB as I’m reasonably sure I’ll need to recalibrate the camera with the higher resolution. These resolutions only stream at 15fps, but I don’t see that as a real issue within the LB environment.
