Use XF300 as Skype Camera
Posted by Christopher Hill on June 30, 2016 at 1:26 pmIs it possible to use my Canon XF300 as a “webcam” specifically for use with Skype?
Maybe with some sort of external capture device or converter/adapter. I’m open to any solutions.

I raised exactly this same question earlier this year in another COW forum. I needed to do a very similar thing (although for different reasons).
You might read through the advice I got….

There are also a number of YouTube videos where people demonstrate how to do this… I didn’t save any links but they were very easy to find with a quick search.
Bottom line is yes, you can do it… there are several ways to do it, with varying degrees of expense involved.

July 2, 2016 at 5:00 amtodd’s absolutely correct that you could run standard DEF out of that 300 via the easy Product. As I mentioned on the other post, I use the easy To capture VHS tape’s. It works great. I never thought of using it in this way but it very likely would work just fine . The easy Product and Software are solid, I’ve had no complaints using it.
