How to configure live camera switch with two cameras for virtual production in UE5 + Composure ?

Hello all,

I’m trying to design a virtual production workflow for a live use using two cameras, a greenscren, UE & Composure.

One of the cameras has a livelink device (iPad Pro). The 2nd camera is on a tripod.

I am using Sony SDI cameras with a Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K card.

All configuration, materials and composure work, however I need to program the switch between the two views.

This is my Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K card configuration:

SDI 1: Sony Camera 1 input
SDI 2: Sony Camera 1 input
SDI 2: Powerpoint PC input
SDI 4: Composure SDI Output

What is the best method for switching views?

  • Using 2 00x0_comps, 2 media_plates and 2 cg_elements, 2 materials and switching outputs to SDI 4 output via Blueprint
  • Using 1 0010_comp, 2 media_plates and 1 cg_element, 2 materials and switching 0010_comp materials via Blueprint
  • Using 1 0010_comp, 2 media_plates and 1 cg_element, 1 material and modifying the material connections via Blueprint
  • Using two computers
  • any other ideas?

Thanks,

Alejandro.-
