Hello I work at a school teaching photo/video. I have to start off I am more of a photo person than video. I was asked to figure out a way to five feed some assemblies and liturgies to as projector. So they would like me to feed our cameras to a Mac Book Pro, then to the screen. We are planning on getting 2 Canon XF105s , and at some point expanding to 3.

What I would like would be some ideas on what equipment and software that would help me accomplish this. I would like to use the BNC connections on the XF105.

Thanks for any help.

Probably the ultrastudio it's what you're looking for.

I use both the XF105 and Ultra Studio SDI. You need a computer that has USB3 input. Works great. James

So, the USB exit on this box will both serve as power supply and as output source of the XF feed?

Meaning that when I connect XF with SDI and this box to my macbooks USB port, it will be recognized as videosource in editing/streaming softwares (like Wirecast) ?

correct. USB3 gives power to Ultra-Studio. James
