CueCam Mac (Alpha)

CueCam Mac is in early stages of development and should be considered an alpha quality release. However, in response to popular request, we have a macOS version of CueCam in beta.

Functionality

Functionally, CueCam Mac is identical to CueCam for iOS except the following;

  • No auto upload to Dropbox
  • Tap Markers can additionally be fired by using the keys 1-4 while recording
  • Keyboard shortcuts added for Start/Stop Recording (CMD-R) and Snapshot (S)
  • Any Video/Audio input on your Mac can be used.
  • EOS Console Time Sync may not work

Settings

CueCam Mac currently has two settings menus, that both control the same thing. You can use either the settings icon on the main window which opens the same settings as you get on iPhone/iPad - but please note some of them may not work correctly (see above). In keeping with the iOS version this cannot be opened whilst recording.

There is also a settings window accessed from the CueCam menu ⇒ Settings (or Cmd+, shortcut). This is designed to be more suited to MacOS and contains most of the same options, presented in a Mac-friendly way. This can be opened during recording. changing any settings during recording is unsupported and may cause unpredictable behaviour

Caveats

  • Files are saved to ~/Documents/CueCam, you cannot change this path
  • Some Camera and Audio inputs don't seem to record correctly, and there is no indication of this in the UI - always ensure you make a short test recording with your selected inputs and check it actually plays back!
  • The UI is lifted from the iPad. The Settings View looks more like it belongs on an iPad than a Mac, but it's functional. See above notes about the (new) Mac settings alternative.
  • RTSP /video endpoint does not work currently, the /status endpoint works as usual.
  • Eos Discovery can be unreliable, especially if running ETCnomad on the same Mac.
  • Video sometimes loads frozen, changing the input and changing it back again will usually resolve that.
  • Some tab options in the MacOS settings (the items at the top) may be non-responsive, just try again.
  • The MacOS app has not been extensively tested (hence the above caveats!)

Support

There is absolutely no support for the Mac version of CueCam at this time. Please do experiment and let me know any issues you find, however!
