Sony has announced the release of a macOS version of its Imaging Edge Webcam utility as well as an update for the Windows version.
Back in August, Sony followed in the footsteps of other manufacturers with the announcement of Imaging Edge Webcam, a utility that turned three dozen Sony cameras into webcams without the need of a capture card. At the time, the utility was Windows-only, but it’s now available for macOS.
