Looking for help with a video project

[goneeuro02]

Hi everyone. I was hoping to get a little guidence here. I am not sure if this is the correct section or not for this. The goal I am trying to achieve is getting a live top down view of a pool table on a tv in a game room. My plan is a Mac Mini on top of the light fixture with a 4k webcam mounted below the light fixture. Then HDMI over to the TV mounted on the wall.

The trouble I am running into is finding a software that will allow me to show full screen video to the TV that allows me to adjust aspect ratio. My client only wants the table to show on the TV with as little carpet as possible.

Any ideas you can provide would be super helpful.

Thanks!

Have you tried VLC?

Why do you need a computer in this configuration?

Simply mount a 4K camera above the pool table, adjust the zoom to show as little carpet as possible and connect its HDMI out to the TV mounted on the wall. Set the aspect ratio in the camera.

If you already own the webcam, does it have an HDMI out jack? If so, connect direct to TV.

Simply mount a 4K camera above the pool table,

Or an iPhone and airplay to the TV using the camera.
