Question

Use an incoming video feed as camera source for Adaobe Connect

We are looking for a way to use an incoming video signal - say, from a Skype video chat - as the "camera source" for an Adobe Connect webcast. So instead of using the attached webcam, the host of our meeting would be able to broadcast the Skype video stream. We need to be able to do this in real time, to ensure we stayin sync with a separate audio channel (being delivered outside of Adobe Connect).

Anyone have any idea how to do this? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Thanks - we are doing that now. I was wondering if there was a way to feed in a different video signal that comes directly from another app on the PC. Any ideas?

    Another option for external video is a USB video capture device. These have been around for some time, and let you connect composite or S-Video sources to your PC. Works great with Connect Pro. The box in front of me right now is an Airlink 101 model. I use Firewire (IEEE1394) input from a professional camcorder for most of my sessions, in order to get the best quality video (that then gets squashed by the compressor ).
