Does this camera look like a Panasonic?

The two cameras do not look identical to me.

It's a tv show. Fiction.

You might as well argue about Star Trek.

They didn't build a camera for the show, anymore than they built that microscope. Normally, they only cover visible camera names, they leave the rest alone.

Certainly. But, do you know that the camera was turned on? If an image was shown somewhere, do you know that the image came from this camera?

Click to expand...

Not at all, which is why I was curious what camera it was. Up until this point, I really do not know which cameras are capable of outputting a live video feed. It looks like the first camera to do this was the GH2 Panasonic. A friend is looking for something that does this.

I can help you there. I just checked the manual for my Panasonic DMC-G1, and it has an HDMI connector on the side for a video signal. The camera itself doesn't record video, but it will playback images over the HDMI for a TV.

My GX1 has an HDMI connector and will record and playback video.

My GM5 and GM1 do not have HDMI connectors.

Its fairly predictable that all the GH, GX and G series cameras, (with the GX850 a bit of unknown) will have HDMI connectors, and after the G1 they all record video.

I suspect the GF series do not have HDMI connectors.

Just for the record, they do - at least by the time the GF7 was introduced (both of mine have one!) - but, very probably, not from the very earliest of that line?

The G3 which is much older has an HDMI connector but does not output a live video stream.

From the manuals, not even the GX8 outputs a live video stream.

I observe that Panasonic has just released a new application for live video streaming for a few of its latest cameras. This is of course over USB not HDMI.

But isn't HDMI designed to be a port to handle live A/V streams ?

This seems to be a design flaw if a device's HDMI port can't handle the function it was intended for.

The HDMI port is designed to handle A/V streams. Which it does, from recorded images and recorded videa.

I don't know if there is a hardware limitation inside the camera that prevents live video from getting to the HDMI port, or if Pansonic has simply chosen not to enable that path. Either way, neither you or I can change that.

The current popular use of streaming video is to stream it over the internet to reach a very wide audience. I don't know of any personal computers with HDMI inputs, so it is very practical that live streaming video is sent to a personal computer over the USB connction that is already present.

You must be referring to laptops. There are a lot of personal computer video cards with HDMI inputs.

Yes, I was thinking of laptops.

The tethering solutions (live video) from camera to computer that I am aware of (Canon, Sony and Nikon) use a USB, Ethernet or Wireless connection, but not an HDMI connection.

Possibly this is because every modern personal computer has USB connections, not all have HDMI inputs.

I don't know the configuration for Pansonic's Livestreaming application, but I expect it uses a USB or wireless.
