Taking Video Conference and Live Stream
Capabilities to the Next Level, the Value-Adding Subscription
Version Unlocks Exclusive Features
MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 9, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- By enabling several of Canon's extensive lineup of
EOS cameras to provide high quality video for virtual meetings and
other live streaming applications, EOS Webcam Utility software was
a lifeline when it was released in early 2020, when video
conferencing was imperative for business operations and everyday
communication. Since then, virtual video has become vital in
everyday life and Canon U.S.A.,
Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to unveil
EOS Webcam Utility Pro, which extends upon the success of the
original software, bringing video conferencing and live streaming
capabilities into an exciting new era.
The original EOS Webcam Utility software was downloaded for free
by millions across the globe, with numbers rising daily, as hybrid
work has become the new normal. When developing this enhanced
version of EOS Webcam Utility software, Canon listened to users'
concerns and preferences found through the original version and has
incorporated comments and feedback that were heard through social
media, customer comments and media inquiries.
EOS Webcam Utility Pro adds a subscription that provides the
option to unlock extensive new capabilities ranging from multiple
camera connections, wireless connectivity, greater camera and
content control, high-res upscaling in full HD mode, a maximum
frame rate up to 60fps, the ability to output to multiple channels
simultaneously and more. For vloggers, gamers, news anchors,
cooking influencers, and the many others who rely on video, having
multiple camera set-ups (like a front, side, and top-down angle)
can be the key to providing more detail to the viewer. For live
streamers, running multiple channels at the same time can help them
reach larger audiences across YouTube, Facebook Live, and other key
social and streaming channels.
There are also various settings that improve customization
possibilities including various layout options, transitions between
scenes, and watermark insertion, which can help users preserve the
ownership of their content. Whether it is for personal or
professional use, these new features can take video quality and
capability to the next level.
The basic features of EOS Webcam Utility Pro software, which
allows users to utilize many EOS cameras as high-quality webcams
with popular web conferencing applications, will be available for
free, while paid subscriptions to EOS Webcam Utility Pro, which
unlock many additional special features, including, but not limited
to the items mentioned above will be available with a monthly
subscription for $4.99 per month or
an annual subscription for $49.99 per
year – both options offer a 30-day trial period. The software will
be available exclusively to customers in the U.S.A.
