Nikon D300s for Live Video
Nov 14, 2020 16:03:39 #
I would truly love to use my Nikon D300s for live video but can't get the settings ribbon off the HDMI output. Substantial research has yielded nothing. Y'all are my last hope. HELP!

Hi bwortmann,
I don't have the D300s but do use the D700 for live streaming. Getting "clean" HDMI out of the D700 is not possible but there is a work-a-round. I use OBS Studio software to control my camera(s) for live streaming to Zoom & Facebook. Before turning on your "Virtual Camera" in OBS: Turn on your camera, place it in "Scenes" then select it in "Sources." In the setup section of Sources grab the corners of the bounding box and drag the box beyond the area of view so the HDMI "stuff" is outside the field of view. Then pull the "focus location box into one of the corners so it is also outside of the field of view. On my FF D700, doing this changes a 35mm lens to about the same field-of-view at a 50 or 60 mm lens; that's the downside of this process but the only way I've found to get rid of the HDMI "stuff" for streaming with older cameras like the D700. I used to have a D300 and as I remember this process should function as a work-a-round. Take care & ...

I tried to attach a D300S movie but the files were too large. I purchased the D300S (up from the D300) in 2008 to get the video. No problems with the D300S video and audio. I have the Nikon Z6 now.

I use a $19 (From Amazon) HDMI to USB adapter to stream video from my Sony to my laptop for zoom meetings and it seems to work just fine for both audio and video. It supports up to 4K in and 1080p out. I have attached a screen capture from Amazon.

Thanks for replying. The 300S is fine if you are recording. I need live HDMI without the settings ribbons. (Clean HDMI) Are you doing that?

I'm using the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini for the capture to HP Laptop. It's the clean HDMI from the 300s that is my problem.
