MAKE CAMCAMX OUTPUT TO SECONDARY DRIVER

On Leopard, with our X5 driver installed ('Leopard-Only.pkg'), it doesn't make a difference.I get image inputs from a capture card, then do several image processing with GTX285, then display it with the same adapter.Īfter that, I was needed to change the refresh rate of the image up to 120Hz, by performing a motion compensated image processing with GTX285, and display it. Now, on Tiger, you have a choice of either starting CamCamX first, then Qamera, or vice versa.

Or pipe DotMatrix into Quartz Composer and have the video texture alpha ready (at least, that's the theory).īTW, we did release a CamCamX upgrade today that fixed a problem preventing MACAM and other third party webcams, including Qamera from working correctly.

If that sounds like you, either use an alternative movie recording App, or downgrade to QuickTime 7.2 - QT 7.2, which we used primarily during the development of our new ARGB camera technology, works great with both Qamera and DotMatrix - you can record a Device Native 640x480 with an alpha channel and bring it into Final Cut. We definitely want to do this, as the camera output from DotMatrix and Qamera is ARGB with an alpha channel which is something that many VJ's and PRO video nerds will love.

While our Apps are working great under both QuickTime 7.2 and 7.3 (and probably 6.5, although we don't test it), they have made some changes to QT Player Pro that will require an update to all our little virtual cam apps for recording. It's been something of a challenge tracking the rapid deployment of all the QuickTime revisions, ahem, to say the least. NOTE: The following applies only to QuickTime 7.3 under Tiger. Since Leopard allows two users to be logged in, both with the camera open, we thought it would be good if CamCamX could also be run independently in each session. We've also made improvements in the underlying architecture to support 'Fast User Switching'. Because all these features are built on our sophisticated camera sharing architecture, it means that you can perform live on video, and simulcast the video stream AT THE SAME TIME, to SKYPE, Yahoo!Messenger, iChat, and almost all web-enabled chats, including Stickam, and mogulus. Keep in mind that both DotMatrix and Qamera also support this functionality - or - you can mix DotMatrix and Qamera output with CamCamX and go nuts with a creative performance over chat. QTZ - this will send the live mix output from CamCamX to your chat buddy. Simply go to the file menu and Choose 'Share a File with iChat Theater', and select the CamCamX sharing. With this we built plug-ins for Leopard PhotoBooth which allow you to do sophisticated 'Picture in Picture' style video mixing directly into Photo Booth, which means you can easily (and cheaply) record live video mixes.įor iChat Theater, we've included a file in the Goodies folder which will allow you to 'share' the CamCamX mix output with anyone you're chatting with on iChat Video.

The enabling technology is our innovative Quartz Composer plug-in, which allows the CamCamX output to appear as an image input in any Quartz Composer composition.

Today we released a new version of CamCamX, 1.511, which includes full support for Leopard. Sure, H.264 works great, but when you've got multiple cameras running and multiple webcam clients ( and ), it's more important to balance the CPU load by using traditional MP4. We determined this experimentally by looking at the performance of various codecs.

In general, MP4 clips are the best source format for CamCamX. Speaking of source video, check out - a site that allows you to download most youtube clips as. It's best to prep your artwork as 640x480 4:3 images for both performance and display.Īlso, if you have Flip4Mac or Perian installed, more types of video can be used as sources. And also Picture-in-Picture, which allows you to run more traditional news stories. Side-by-side CNN style (using this mode will bring in the A-camera 'still picture' image as the background. In addition two new camera mix-modes are included. Included in this release are important compatibility updates for Snow Leopard. CamCamX 1.701 is now available for downloading.
