There are some things to check with his. The first would be to double check that the devices and programs the video is being output to are set to the same frame rate as the camera. If you are in the US typically devices would be using the NTSC standard frame rates like 24 fps. If there is a mismatch between the camera output and the frame rate of the software or device the video is being output to that can cause choppiness.</P> <P>Another thing to double check would be to try replacing he HDMI cables. Since the outputs through USB are clear that indicates the ports on the camera are working correctly. The USB and HDMI ports on the camera are routed through the same portion of the PCB, so typically if one was malfunctioning we would expect them both to malfunction.</P> <P>One other thing to double check is that if you have an external monitor we would recommend trying to plug a camera directly into it and check to see if the live output is choppy. That could help narrow down where the choppiness might be originating from.</P> Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:54:39 GMT Hazel_T 2026-04-16T21:54:39Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R50-Choppy-video-over-HDMI/m-p/592872#M141887 <P>We have two new R50s in our podcast studio going into a Rode caster video via HDMI. For local recording, they are great, but once we need to do a video interview (Zoom, Riverside or Streamyard), they get very choppy. I tried using Elgato Camlinks and got the same outcome. I can go USB and use the Canon webcam app, and the video quality is fine, other than being maxed out at 720p.</P><P>Cameras are set to 30FPS at 1080p, and HDMI is set to AUTO.</P><P>Can anyone help?</P> Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:56:27 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R50-Choppy-video-over-HDMI/m-p/592872#M141887 kfc1985 2026-04-14T13:56:27Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R50-Choppy-video-over-HDMI/m-p/593084#M141947 <P>Hi kfc1985,</P> <P>I'm sorry to hear you are getting choppy HDMI output on your EOS R50 camera bodies.
