Screen Capture
Use Wirecast's built-in screen capture tool for unlimited capture of content directly from your computer screen(s). Pull any application window or connected monitor’s desktop directly into Wirecast as a live, viewable camera source, or just select the region of your screen you want to capture. To capture screens from other computers on your local area network, use our free, cross-platform app, Remote Desktop Presenter.
Camera Support
Capture your live feeds from a wide range of standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) camera and video sources.
USB/Webcams
Most USB webcams should work with Wirecast as long as they are supported by AVFoundation on Mac OS X and DirectShow on Windows. Some typical webcams include, but are not limited to:
| Windows 7 | Windows 8.1 | Windows 10 | OS X 10.10 | OS X 10.11 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logitech | HD Pro Webcam C910 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 |
| HD Pro Webcam C920 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | |
| Webcam C930e | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | |
| Logitech Broadcaster | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | |

| LifeCam Studio | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | |
Composite, S-Video, DV/HDV, Component, SDI, HD-SDI, HDMI Sources
Most Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) consumer, “prosumer” and professional-grade cameras, decks and video sources with composite, S-video, Firewire, component, SDI, HD-SDI, or HDMI outputs should work with Wirecast through a qualified capture card.
IP Cameras / Web Stream sources
- Wirecast Cam, a free iOS app for Wirecast 6, lets you use any iPhone (4s or newer) or iPad on your WiFi network as an ingest source into Wirecast.
- Wirecast Pro now accepts RTMP, RTMPS, RTMP(e), RTSP, HTTP, and MMS streams directly with proper credentials and stream keys (if required). Teradek wireless devices can be added for cordless production.
- Wirecast Pro is compatible with web/IP/security cameras (e.g., PTZoptics, Panasonic, etc.) and network devices (e.g., LiveU, SportZcast, etc.).
- Wirecast Pro supports web streams which support network video ingest over the Apple Bonjour protocol.
- Teradek Cube is supported through the Wirecast Source SDK
Capture Card Support
Capture cards are a great way to add additional input ports into your computer and offload some of the real-time processing of incoming footage. Telestream is continually testing and qualifying new devices. Once verified, they will be added to this “Capture Card Support” list.
