I have a HF G40. Can i use the outputs on this camera to livestream?

[CoachLoll35]

With my old camera i i could use the video out jacks on it to connect to my laptop which was connected via fiber to the web. I used xsplit braodcaster as the software & just livestream through youtube. Is this possible with this camera? There is a mini hdmi port & a video out on it. Can these be used? Also there is a micro usb. I have tried the usb but my computer doesn't recognize this. Has anyone tried this? I love the camera but my main use is livestreaming sports & need a camera that can do it.

Hi CoachLoll35,

Thank you for posting.

Live streaming isn't available via your camcorder's USB terminal.  While HDMI streaming isn't a supported feature, if you have a computer with an HDMI capture device, you may stream from this terminal.

Hello,

Which capture card did you eventually settle on. I use this camera with a El Gato HD60.

Wondering if you might have the HD60S for sale.

I use a BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0. I've been using OBS for quite a while. Hasn't been too many issues. Of course since I say that, now it'll fail!@ lol Been alot of learning along the way, but the equipment been working pretty well.
