Multiple window support?

in SwiftCapture

I've been using SecuritySpy for years and love it. Now I need a video capture solution for devices on my Mac such as two USB microscopes, an HDMI capture card, etc.

I downloaded SwiftCapture but it only appears to work with one video source at a time. Is there any hope of having it handle multiple video sources? This would really address my needs.

    SwiftCapture supports only one source at one time, and we have no plans to change this. If you need to capture from multiple sources at the same time, then SecuritySpy is the best software to use. Although it is designed for CCTV, we have many users who use it for other purposes too, such as interviews, scientific experiments, events and so on.

    May I chip-in with a suggestion ?

    This will probably not accommodate high resolution cameras, or very fast frame rates, but I have done it successfully as a ‘proof of concept’ for Stereoscopic video.

    Get a Raspberry Pi 4 and install Guvcview on it

    Open two instances of Guvcview and display the frames side-by-side

    Connect the HDMI output of the RasPi into a BlackMagic Ultrastudio Recorder 3G, and output from that to an M1 Mac mini with SwiftCapture.

    Variations on the theme should be possible, but that worked for me.

    There's also the new Pi5 which is much improved in the graphics processing area.
