Webcam video (via chat apps like Zoom)

  • advantage: affordable
  • disadvantage: 30 fps chat apps not optimized for 23.98 fps video

screen share via Zoom (no hardware)

  • some report lag using this method [1]
  • others not: "Screen Sharing a video source in Zoom creates a lag of about 500ms. I think that is quite reasonable." [2]

Avid DNxID $999 US (used for Avid Media Composer)

  • "use the output from the DNxID and run it in the input from the DNxID, then you will see the picture in Zoom" [3]

BlackMagic Web Presenter $600 US

  • Blackmagic Web Presenter is fed video (and audio) from Avid via HDMI or SDI and sends back a web-cam compatible signal via USB that can be shared on Zoom chat

Blackmagic ATEM Mini $435 CAD

AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 (GC510) $209 US

  • AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 is fed video (720p/23.976 works, 1080p/23.976 does not) via HDMI from Avid sends back a web-cam compatible signal via USB that can be transmitted via Zoom or FaceTime or Skype
  • HDMI loops through the device back to client monitor
  • device has microphone input; audio from Avid HDMI combines with that in web-cam signal
  • Avid audio sounded bad (tinny) in tests
