Hi folks. Thought it might be useful to start a thread here for the Lumix Tether and Luumix Tether for Streaming software for Mac and PC. I'm somewhat new to it.

Couple thigns I like:
-Overall having a computer based control program for the camera of course.
-More control in computer than I actually have in camera in a lot of ways. For example having more F-stops available is awesome.
-The option to copy when done recording immediately to a source like my computer or a hard drive.

Couple things I Like
-Still in the opening stages so only one thing really. I have a top of the line 2018 Macbook Pro, but when operating, my computers internal fan is going a mile a minute. So while it's perfect If I'm shooting something at a distance, or the computer is far away from the camera. Otherwise the fan noise renders interviews, promo records, etc... unusuable without removing the noise. Are other people running into the fan issue?

-I'd still find it useful even with the Magewell hooked up (to kill processing load on my CP) as a monitor and control system. However, you can't operate tether via the HDMI port (only the USB-C) so that doesn't work.

-As an aside, you can however run a monitor out via HDMI, and Tether out via USB-C but again, fan is going is at full blast.

There seems no way to go full screen with just the image which is odd.
