b3LAB – b3WebCam+
One webcam. Every source.
Turn Syphon, NDI, OMT, any camera or a file into a system-wide virtual webcam for Zoom, Teams, FaceTime and OBS — plus a live signal router, converter and recorder.
▸ More · architecture, license & bundles
Three components in one bundle: App (SwiftUI host, source ingest + render + outputs), CMIO System Extension (Apple-notarized, exposes virtual b3WebCam+ device system-wide), OFX-Plugin (separate b3LAB_b3WebCam+.ofx.bundle for Resolve/Fusion, output-only — writes the timeline image to the virtual camera, not in-host signal routing — with own Sink-write + Lip-Sync), plus an Adobe plugin that sends the normal Premiere Pro / After Effects video output straight into the b3WebCam+ device. One stable device sees by Zoom, Teams, Safari, FaceTime, OBS, Photo Booth. Inputs: Syphon · NDI (video+audio) · OMT (video+audio) · AVFoundation camera · local file/image. Pro adds: Recording (ProRes/H.264/HEVC, with AAC audio), parallel NDI/OMT/Syphon-Out, SDI/HDMI output to a Blackmagic DeckLink / UltraStudio device (video-only), Failsafe-Frame, OFX + Adobe (Premiere/AE) Sink-Publish. Pairs with PortalOFX+ as the LiveStack — Resolve-graded color straight into your Zoom call. License: 72h offline grace, HWID-bound (2 active installs at a time), device-switch on demand. macOS 14+.

// EVERYTHING IT DOES
Tap a tile. See it move.
Each capability opens a focused view with the full technical detail.
Receive live Syphon, NDI and OMT frames (TouchDesigner, Resolume, Synesthesia, Notch, MadMapper, Resolve via PortalOFX+, any NDI/OMT source on the network). Live preview with ON-AIR indicator, persistent settings, custom webcam background when no source is selected, built-in recording of the webcam stream. Ready in seconds.
- Syphon-In + NDI-In + OMT-In — cycle all sources with ←/→ (Syphon → NDI → OMT → local in one pass; camera excluded), all discovered live
- Camera-In — any camera macOS recognizes: built-in, USB, Blackmagic SDI/HDMI capture (DeckLink / UltraStudio), or Continuity (iPhone as a 4K cam) — picked in the camera dropdown, switch on the fly
- Multiview-Mode — 9 / 12 / 16 source tiles (switchable) + live output, Space-bar toggles, click to activate, live thumbnails per source
- Master transport — Play / Pause / Stop gate the entire output (webcam sink + all senders + recording) without stopping an incoming plugin feed; Pause freezes the last frame for the stream
- Output Blanking — one click cuts the entire webcam output to black for privacy / standby, while the virtual camera stays connected — go off-screen without leaving the call
- Reframe (Pro) — snapshot-based recompose / crop / zoom of any source in a dedicated reframe editor, applied live to the webcam and every output
- Cross-protocol converter — take any source in (Syphon / NDI / OMT / camera / file) and send it straight back out as NDI / OMT / Syphon or the system webcam, in any direction (NDI/OMT/Syphon out = Pro · Syphon out video-only)
- Optional NDI-Out with Start / Pause / Stop transport buttons in the UI — publishes
b3LAB b3WebCam+as an NDI source (own stream auto-hidden in the picker) - DeckLink SDI/HDMI output (Pro) — send the live output to a Blackmagic DeckLink / UltraStudio device (v210 10-bit, 2vuy 8-bit fallback) · enable toggle + device · connection · resolution · FPS picker · 📺 toolbar toggle · follows the master transport · state persists across restarts · video-only in v1
- Per-source output settings — each input remembers its own flip and output mode
- Three independent flip layers: Image · Preview · Output
- Output FPS · Ignore (passthrough, default) · 24/25/30/48/50/60 · adaptive FPS-detection locks the source rate
- Preview helpers: alpha-checkerboard, safe borders, center cross
- Built-in Webcam-Monitor — toggle a monitor window to verify the system camera output without leaving the app (click the image to show/hide the source-info bar)
- Resizable sidebar (440 px default) · 1030 × 372 default window · UI fully English
- Always starts on launch (last state) · last-source persistence
- Custom webcam background — image or video shown when no source is selected (with in/out trim, loop)
- Webcam-stream recording (Pro) — capture the live webcam output to ProRes / H.264 / HEVC, up to 4K, directly from the app

Drop b3WebCam+ on a Resolve clip — pass-through, anywhere in the effect chain — or send the normal Premiere Pro / After Effects video output, and the rendered frame goes straight into b3WebCam+: no app open, no extra hop. The payoff: your graded / edited timeline becomes a live webcam — run client review and sign-off straight from the timeline in any FaceTime, Zoom or Teams call, no export and no upload round-trip.
- Resolve / Fusion render → webcam in one line (OFX)
- Premiere Pro / After Effects video output → webcam (Adobe plugin)
- Live client review / sign-off from the timeline in any FaceTime / Zoom / Teams call — no export, no upload
- Works without the b3WebCam+ app running
- Enabled toggle (pause without removing the effect)
- Flip Horizontal / Flip Vertical
- OFX pass-through — render pipeline stays intact
Ships a signed and notarized macOS System Extension that registers a standard camera device named b3WebCam+. Any app that reads from a camera picks it up — no app-specific integration needed. Whatever goes to the webcam can be recorded in parallel.
- Appears in Zoom, Teams, Safari, FaceTime, OBS, and more
- Custom no-signal slate — image or video (.mp4 / .mov), with in/out trim and loop
- Built-in recorder — ProRes 422 / 422 HQ / LT / Proxy / 4444 (Alpha), H.264, HEVC · MOV / MP4 · 2–50 Mbps
- Filename tokens · save folder picker · open-in-Finder when done
- Recording-look choice: match preview · match webcam output · source-native
- Cmd+R toggles record · live elapsed-time indicator in red while recording · records audio too — AAC stereo, 48 kHz / 192 kbps, source selectable (Off / Auto BlackHole 2ch / any input device)
- Single instance — one b3WebCam+ per system · ON-AIR badge + red frame while live
Route and switch several live sources onto one webcam output — a live switcher for calls, streams and client reviews.
For: multi-source live switching.
Send any received signal back out as NDI, OMT, Syphon or Blackmagic DeckLink SDI/HDMI — a cross-protocol converter in one app.
For: routing between ecosystems.
Show a custom webcam background or slate when the source drops — no black frame mid-call. Output blanking is free.
For: reliable presence on calls.
// WHICH ONE
b3WebCam+ or PortalOFX+?
Both speak Syphon, NDI and OMT — but they solve different problems. The one-line rule:
Signals around the host → b3WebCam+
Turn any input into a system-wide virtual camera, convert between Syphon/NDI/OMT/SDI, stream-switch, and push a Resolve/Premiere timeline out to a webcam for live review. Its OFX/Adobe path is output-only — it does not route signals into the host.
Route signals into your grade → PortalOFX+
Need to pull a live Syphon/NDI/OMT source into a Resolve or Fusion node, grade and composite it, then push the result back out — both directions, parallel, inside the host? That is PortalOFX+; b3WebCam+ cannot do it.
Need both? → Complete bundle
The webcam/convert layer and routing inside the grade? The Complete bundle has all four tools — including b3WebCam+ and PortalOFX+ — for less than buying them separately.

// KNOWN LIMITS
What this is not.
Every b3LAB tool has a clear scope. Knowing the limits is part of the tool.
▸ Show all known limits
- Tested with macOS 15 (Sequoia 15.7.4) · macOS Tahoe · Apple Silicon and Intel.
- System Extension requires a one-time approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Allow.
- Trial / Demo-Mode: Output is locked to 2 fps and carries a watermark banner until a license key is entered.
- No own audio device — audio is routed via a BlackHole helper (b3LAB does not bundle BlackHole, to avoid GPL-3.0 license obligations). Audio recording arrives with that path.
- The OFX plugin only writes into the webcam — no Syphon/NDI output. Full Syphon & NDI in/out for Resolve is PortalOFX+'s domain.
- DaVinci Resolve render cache: when you feed the webcam from a Resolve timeline via the OFX plugin, the background Render Cache (Playback ▸ Render Cache) keeps sending the already-cached frame instead of the current live render until the cache catches up — switch the render cache off for a true real-time feed. Flip-side bonus: a still-cached frame doubles as a built-in "still rendering" indicator. 😉
- One virtual camera output at a time (b3WebCam+ is a single instance).
- DeckLink output (Pro) is video-only in v1 — no embedded audio, pixel-format / colorspace / reference picker, or scheduled playback yet (internal pipeline 8-bit; output container v210 10-bit). Requires Blackmagic's Desktop Video driver.
- Consumer apps must read from a standard camera device (CMIO). Apps using custom capture APIs may not detect it.
- Source apps must be on the same machine for Syphon. NDI works over the local network.
- No telemetry, no phone-home, no hardware binding — license is verified via Gumroad on entry, then cached for 24 h.
