80d - purple hue on HDMI output through camlink

bradweber1982 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 11:23:48 GMT

Have spent the better part of two days reading through posts online to find a fix. I am using a 80d through an elgato camlink to output the camera feed into OBS. The elgato is working with my sony alpha with no issues but when I try to use my canon it is displaying a purple hue to everything as you see in the photo.

I thought it might be an HDMI cable issue so I ordered a brand new cable, still produces the purple hue. I can reboot, unplug, reboot, plug back in, 10-15 times and MAYBE 1 time it will display properly. I am lost for anything else to try. If I understand correclty, I can use the EOS webcam utility but that will downgrade the quality of my recording correct?

Please help - if I cant figure out a fix ill have to return this and I really dont want to. Thanks!

This is a neagive image. Do you have some polarity setting reversed.?

What happens when you plug it into a TV?
