I would like to upgrade my webcam to one offering FHD (1920x1080) resolution at 60 fps (*actually running 60 fps*) that has full support under Ubuntu 20.04 and as far as I know, I should look for a *UVC 1.5* (USB video device class) compliant device.
Preliminary I've pre-selected (,but haven't bought yet) Logitech StreamCam, however I'm a bit worried about the conclusion of the following post: Logitech Streamcam not offering all modes on Manjaro <https://superuser.com/questions/1540980/logitech-streamcam-not-offering-all-modes-on-manjaro> (I think this problem is rather distribution independent). To make the long story short, on UVC Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class#Operating_system_support> there's stated that Linux *only detects 1.5* devices without providing full capabilities, only trying to fall safe to 1.0 or 1.1 version. Does this statement still hold even in newest kernel? Still we haven't got fully-fledged 1.5 UVC? However, on www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ I've checked that even in current implementation UVC supports MJPEG (Motion JPEG) and this particular webcam rely on MJPEG payloads. Meanwhile, I asked for a recommendation on Quora <https://www.quora.com/Which-1080p-at-60-fps-webcam-do-you-recommend-for-Linux-e-g-supported-in-Ubuntu-20-04-that-its-actually-running-60-fps> and according to Hans' answer, Logitech C930e (pity that only 30fps) that is UVC 1.5, works perfectly in Ubuntu since 16.04. Now, I'm a little bit confused. To sum up: 1. *Do you have Logitech StreamCam working at 1080p resolution and actually running 60 fps?* 2. *Could you recommend some other 1080p @ 60 fps webcam for Ubuntu 20.04?* 3. Does the newest Ubuntu 20.04 or Fedora 32 (even with kernel lifted to 5.6) has UVC 1.5 support, and if not how to patch it up? 4. Does we need the full 1.5 UVC support at all, to have 1080p @ 60 fps or is there any workaround? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
