Will A7r II have Live View when tethered to a desktop?

[KimBrunStudio]

I know that it will with Mobile devices as the A7r does now.  But I am hoping that like the A7s and A7 II, the new A7r II will give you access to Live View when tethered to a desktop computer.  This would greatly facilitate its use in a studio environment.  Something that is a workflow problem with the A7r.

I'm curious about this as well. With Canon, you can have a real time live view display as well as control the focus point via touch screen on a tablet/laptop. I'm hoping for exact same functionality *not by wifi but by USB tether* to overcome the unusual limitation of not having a touch screen to begin with. =)

Seeing as how starting from the A7S it does tethered live view...the RII should have a good chance as well. Don't see why not.

How does the A7S accomplish this?  Does it use PlayMemories or can you use Lightroom to run the camera?  Are all the normal functions available when you tether a A7S,(focus, aperature, shutter speed, ISO)?

I don't know because I've never actually tethered it yet. Best to ask Adobe support for a clear answer. There is also Capture One that's able to tether them.
