The HDMI port on most computers is output-only and will not accept video input. USB cables that come packaged with cameras are generally intended for file transfer and most cameras do not allow for live video monitoring via USB.

Capture devices can be external devices that deliver HDMI or SDI sources into the computer over Thunderbolt or USB, or internal cards installed into an available PCI slot on a desktop PC that allow HDMI or SDI sources to be connected to the computer directly.

A device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer.

• Source SDK drivers make a direct connection between a particular capture card’s SDK and the Wirecast SDK. It enables a fully optimized workflow with minimal middle-man services. Blackmagic and Magewell integration is maintained by Telestream, AJA integration is maintained by AJA.
• UVC/DS/AVF drivers utilize operating system “traffic directors” and “service negotiators” to negotiate and manage connections. This adds to potential for issues to occur and potentially introduce inefficiencies. Devices using these drivers should work with Wirecast unless there are problems with the manufacturer’s driver. UVC devices use the universal driver found within both Mac and Windows operating systems. DirectShow (Windows) and AV Foundation (Mac) drivers make connections to the multimedia framework their particular operating system uses to handle video-related tasks.
