## What it is
A macOS application that serves a connected Canon DSLR camera's live view feed as a Syphon video stream. It lets creative coding and VJ software use a DSLR as a low-latency live camera input.

## Use cases
- use a Canon DSLR as a live video source in VJ software
- stream camera live view into Syphon-compatible apps like Resolume or MadMapper
- low-latency DSLR webcam feed for video calls via Syphon
- capture live view from Canon 7D over USB
- feed camera video into TouchDesigner or Max/MSP

## When to choose
- you need a Canon DSLR live feed in Syphon-based creative tools on macOS
- you want low-latency camera input without an HDMI capture card

## When to avoid
- you need a supported camera other than Canon DSLRs
- you need actively maintained software or support for newer camera models
- your target app doesn't support Syphon and you can't add a virtual camera driver
