Huddly L1 – integration with Inogeni Cam230
We have identified an issue with integrating multiple Huddly L1 cameras with the Inogeni Cam230 camera switcher.
Symptoms
Typically, the Inogeni Cam230 keeps a USB signal active with all attached USB cameras. However, the Huddly L1 camera uses 50% additional USB bandwidth. The upshot is that when 2 Huddly L1 cameras are attached, the Inogeni Cam230 runs out of USB bandwidth and there is no USB signal to the non-active camera.
Users may experience issues when switch sources between active / non-active cameras which include frozen image and very long delays between switches.
Resolution
This issue was identified and fixed in April 2024. Simply update your Cam230 to latest firmware.
Known limitations
There is still a slight delay in the transition between active and non-active cameras, however, this is now below 1 second.
