The process of adding inputs is incredibly simple and starts with you deciding on how many cameras/video sources you need for your production and making sure your computer can handle that number of direct inputs. ProPresenter officially supports USB video device class (UVC) compliant devices, so dig around in the specs for a clear indicator that you’re getting the right piece of gear. It’s also worth noting that not all USB based video input adapters are created equal. You can source NDI signals, a webcam, or even that RED KOMODO you saw your buddy shooting with on Instagram. ProPresenter’s ability to create video inputs from almost anything is borderline dark-magic.

Cameras come in a variety of resolutions, form-factors, and frame rates so it’s important to think through what you want your end-product to look like.
