iBridge FaceTime HD | 4: 3 format instead of 16: 9 in OBS Studio and other apps

I have a problem because the webcam built into iMac Pro does not behave as it should. Instead of showing the normal picture format in 16: 9 aspect ratio, it shows 4: 3.


I've already installed the Boot Camp driver update, but it does not do anything, because the camera drivers are from 2006.


Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

iMac Pro, macOS 10.14

This has

                <ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>


which seems to be the latest. It has

You should have the 2016 driver, not the 2006 driver. You should have a .exe file in the Apple Drivers folder on the USB.


This requires a bit of work. You should first create a Windows System Restore point.


You can uninstall the 2006 driver, delete the device, remove the 2006 driver from the DrvStore using pnputil.exe, and then manually install the 2016 driver. If you reboot in the middle, the 2006 driver will come back. The current driver is a generic USB camera driver.

Let us look at an example. I will pick the 802.11ac Wireless adapter.


Can you verify that your Broadcom driver is


     ndv:      Installing Driver:
     ndv:           Inf Name       - bcmwdidhdpcie.inf
     ndv:           Driver Date    - 12/13/2018
     ndv:           Driver Version - 100.10.459.0
     ndv:      Driver package 'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\bcmwdidhdpcie.inf_amd64_95b2d31323bb2fde\bcmwdidhdpcie.inf' is already imported.


Also, notice what happens in the following part...

This shows you how the PID/VID are matched by Windows before the driver selection is completed.
