Can you stream video from this camcorder directly to a computer, say to use in a citrix web conference for example?

You have a HDMI exit port that you can link to a monitor AND (in theory) to a SDI converter that you can use in a regular streaming way...

It doesn't have network/wifi feature like Canon 6D or 70D. I didnt try to play the video on sd or internal harddrive to monitor. Pro Sony can give you the answer http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-hdvsite/cat-broadcastcameras/product-HXRNX70U/

Yes you can via USB using supplied software. As you can read in my initial review I did have issues establishing communication between PC and camera. Try different USB ports until the PC "sees" the camcorder.

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

Nope. I e-mailed the company and they said that I could download a video to my computer and then transfer it. I haven't tried that, and I'm not sure how I would even do it. I was hoping that I could just stream directly to the Skypad.

If you can record photos from a digital cam via the usb input can you also rec ..say a slideshow running on a laptop?

Probably not. I've had two Sony camcorders, and both have come with software and cables for importing video from the camera onto a computer. Using the appropriate software and connection that Sony provided will be much faster for importing video, as this device is only capturing the signal as fast as it is played (like a VCR). My older camcorder connected to a firewire port (also known as IEEE 1394) which is not always found in newer laptops/pcs, so if you were desperate, you could use the ION. My newer one uses PMB software and the camera connects to a USB 2.0 port. In some cases, you can save to a memory stick and then use a card reader on your pc for the memory stick.

if the camcorder has a S-video or composite RCA output it should capture the video to your PC and then you can copy the saved digital file to a SD card

Never tried to do that. Bought it to transfer video from an older camcorder to computer. It did work for that.

Hi effie, no, it can't be used as a webcam. The camcorder does not have the live streaming feature which would enable live streaming online. Thanks_Mitch

I upload it to my computer and then, straight to youtube. But, I don't think you can do it straight from the camcorder to youtube without plugging it in.

There are several options for turning your camcorder into a web cam...none are easy, most are not cheap, and all produce lower quality than just recording and transferring.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.

I can't say for sure if the software will work, but that won't matter, if you're planning on getting some kind of extra software you will be fine. You'll be able to get the video on to the computer no problem.

I have never tried this, but if there is a way to connect the camera to your computer that would work with ustream or livestream, I don't see any reason why not. I would suggest using a lav mic (powered) for all audio. When using an external mic with this camera, it's best to run the camera on battery power as opposed to plugging it in as this camera is prone to picking up noise from the power source with an external mic plugged in. Hope that made sense.

Only if your computer has an analog camera card installed. It is not compatible with anything other than a BNC/composite video input.

I can't tell you for sure, I wanted to use it with my JVC camcorder to PC and like many of the other reviews I couldn't get any software to connect with it. I think you have at least an 85% chance of failure. Hope that helps

I also would like to know the answer to this... Can the Vado HD be used as a webcam/streaming video if you connect it to an HDMI port or a display port with HDMI adapter on a PC?
