We reciently purchased this product and were told that it would work with video cameras. We have a Panasonic that we are using with vista. this camera works with Premiere Pro, and there is nothing wrong with it. I know that Connect is not software based it is an Internet Application. How ever i know that the OS (vista) "sees" the camera because it works with other programs. Sorry i am connecting with IEEE not USB

Has anyone out there in the world has success with getting a video camera using IEEE connection to work fully. Audio and Video coming through the camera?

Is anyon aware of drivers for either the camera or the IEEE?

And if the Connect product does not support this... WTF?

thanks

    One other thing. I am told that a video camera alone without using a driver, uses up a lot more bandwidth. So, using one of the drivers like DVDriver might help with that.

    Hi Kay,

    Is there any more up-to-date list of cameras available?

    Hey Dan,
    i wish there was a more up to date list... however I just tried a Sony DV Cam connected over Firewire. It doesnt work without using a virtual driver. The driver I used can be found here: http://www.trackercam.com/TCamWeb/download.htm.
    You basically stream the DV cam video to the virtual driver and then load the virtual camera in Connect.

    DVDriver works well with any IEEE connection. We use old Sony Handycam and it works with or without DVDriver.We do have to "Select Camera" since our webcam had previously been used and it seemed to be the default camera. When using DVDriver, you'll need to select it to be the "camera" of choice.

    Connect does work with IEEE1394 Firewire Cams, just not with all Firewire Cams. (USB cams also are not all working).

    I would suggest to first try out the cam from different machines with different OSs (Vista might well be the sole issue here), also try if you can get an ordinary USB cam to work.

    If all fails, you can workaround that using a virtual camera driver, piping the firewire cam into the virtual cam and in Connect you can load the virtual cam with the image of the Firewire cam. Not a nice way round, but it would work.

    If you google for "Adobe Connect camera compatibility matrix" you get a "slightly" outdated list of supported cameras.
