Small "Clean HDMI" Camcorder

Small "Clean HDMI" Camcorder
I can see from the copy that the "I know what they want" marketing people are clueless as to who the market is for this camera.  I think it's me!  I'd love to play with this.  One of the best design features is that the connectors aren't hidden behind the view screen.  Is Santa Claus listening?  :-)

All

All,
I am considering upgrading cameras from the C920 to the next level up, and I am overwhelmed by specifications and marketing mumbo-jumbo.  Still, it's not practical for me to test 10 or 20 of them.  What's important and what's not?  What's money well spent and what's overkill?  I expect I will be working with 720p, and aiming for 30fps.  Small size is a plus.  Wired is good.  Money is an object, so used equipment is fine.  Can you help me make an educated guess?  Thanks in advance.  :-)

Thank you for adding me to the OBS Community!

Thank you for adding me to the OBS Community!

I am still learning and working on my implementation.  I was wondering if there is any documentation for building OBS Multi-Platform plugins?  I assume they need to be written in C?

I learned a long time ago that when things are done right, they look simple.  That's how I know that video is best passed by using a video signal, not by using the network.  It's also why I know Linux is not the right tool to use to build a video switcher.  If I had done this using two Windows boxes and a capture card, I would have been using it two months ago.  This community, notably Terry and John, have been of great value to me in arriving at this conclusion.  It's not that they said so much, but they said just the right thing at just the right time.

I guess I wasn't up to the high standards of User2User, John, as I never heard from him.  Any time either you or Terry would like to meet with me in video chat, I will be pleased to make myself available.  Otherwise I'll be back here once I make a little progress on this project, v2.0.

Gracias y Hasty Lumbago...

I've used OBS for only a few days now.

I've used OBS for only a few days now.  
Regarding the OBS MultiPlatform version:
I see that I can Transform > "Stretch to screen" which stretches and can crop which is great to expand my game to 16:9.  
Did they do away with the green lines for cropping?  How can you crop your webcam if I can find a way to add it.  haha
I can't seem to add a video capture device without OBS crashing on both versions.  
This video was made the very first day I had OBS and before I learned how to crop but I am happy with the results:

Hey OBS users

Hey OBS users,
     I had my first successful live broadcast using OBS last night. OBS worked like a champ! I used the latest version and used the OpenSuse installer on Fedora 22 MATE edition.
     I only had 2 issues. One is that my internet speed kept going up and down, I'm on satellite, so, da! But I think the second one might have been OBS's fault. The video stream was running about 15 to 20 min. behind on YouTube. When I've used the Hangouts app it only runs about 30 to 40 seconds behind. AND... After I finished my 1 hour stream, YouTube only posted the first 38 minutes. 
     Any tips?!
Thanks guys,
     Micah
