Improving video quality (higher resolution, less compression, ...)

Hi, does anybody have suggestions about improving the video quality, for example sharpness and clarity, less compression, replacing the camera, etc? Are there any sacrifaces by using a “low light camera”? I have 4 lights and do not really need that feature. We are currently using the Low-Light HD USB Camera and a MacBook Pro. This sun shade helped a lot, but I would still like to improve the video quality.

Hi @Algetun,

Adjusting the camera settings to suit the operating conditions can provide substantial improvements to the clarity.

Beyond that, this comment is likely worth a read for some potential augmentations and alternatives.

Most choices involve some form of compromise, especially where hardware is concerned, and even more so when there’s a pipeline involved for data compression and transmission. For sensors in general it’s preferable to have higher resolution and better quality data, but getting that may be physically challenging and/or prohibitively expensive, and sometimes just hasn’t been developed yet.

We are working on an improved camera, but don’t have a set release date for it yet. Whether other options are worthwhile is not something we can decide for you - e.g. we have previously done a full cinema camera integration, but that’s likely not a great use of funds or effort for users who aren’t creating feature films.
