Multiple EOS Utility Programs at once?

Hi everyone,

I have a really quick question. I have a project where I have 4 Rebel T3I's connected to a machine and want to know if there is a way to launch an individual EOS Utility application for each one. When I first launch the utility, it asks me to choose which device I want to use. To save time by closing and re-opening the application to choose a different device, I'd like to just run four applications simultaneously. It's not the end of the world if I can't, it would just make life a little easier.

Thanks!

Hi dthielemier, The EOS Utility is cannot access more than one camera at a time. I regret any difficulty this causes. Richard

Richard,

So there is no way to launch multiple applications, with each accessing a different camera?

dthielemier,

You are correct. Multiple instances of EOS Utility cannot be launched to connect to multiple different cameras.

That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

I too would like to do this. I like to have one camera on me, and one overhead. I wonder why this is not possible. It seems like after 7 years since this post, this should be possible. Currently I have to use only one camera overhead, and my laptop camera for the main. Perhaps I should not have purchased 2 canon cameras.
