Sony camera into webcam

A new program called Imaging Edge Webcam integrates high-performance Sony cameras in Windows platform, making it easier to use it as webcams for conducting video conferences and live presentations. The software is distributed by the Japanese giant free of charge and can now be downloaded through the brand’s official website.

The interesting thing about this program is that it seems to take advantage of the advanced capabilities of Sony photo cameras, allowing the use of features such as auto focus and the high resolution capability of the 35 models currently supported by it. The statement does not say so expressly, but it implies that all of this will depend on the feature of the camera. In other words: cameras with more features = better video streams via Imaging Edge . Something similar is already promised by other software of its kind, but Sony seems to want to emphasize this aspect and, let’s face it, integrating software and hardware from the same manufacturer ends up being safer and brings a more fluid experience.

“We will continue to adapt and evolve to meet consumer needs. Their voice is essential to everything we do in this industry, ”said Director of marketing for products, digital images and video communication at Sony’s European division. “Given the growing demand for communication via streaming and video, we are very happy to share this new application that allows so many fans loyal to Sony the ability to easily turn their cameras into a highly efficient webcam for live streams, video conferences and more ”.

It is also important to note that Imaging Edge is software for Windows and, like any computer program, has some minimum usage requirements. Fortunately, they are not demanding and any basic personal computer today can run it without difficulty. In this case, you need to be equipped with Windows 10, with the 64-bit version .

The website with the camera list also provides instructions on how to adjust the software after installation and specific integration manuals for each of the available cameras, but basically, it all comes down to connecting the camera to the PC via a USB connection .
