iSight

robotrenegade · 02:58 PM

i just got mine today and in 15min of using it got really hot. Anyone else seen this?

Sorry don't have answer to your question as I don't have one (yet!).

I would really appreciate it though if you could you give us a little insight into the dimensions of the camera, and the different mechanisms for attaching it to the displays! i.e. from what you can see, can the camera be attached to non-Mac displays, or indeed older generation powerbook displays.

It's about 3-4x1.5.

pinks · Jun 25, 2003, 04:06 PM

Oh man, that is one seriously cool setup you have. Many thanks for the pictures. The iSight looks really nice.

I hope you get the heating issue sorted.

Cheers

robotrenegade, does the firewire plug have 4 or 6 pins?

I'm wondering if I could use it on a Windows XP box with firewire port.

iJon · Jun 25, 2003, 05:23 PM

it cant be a 4 pin, because then it would need external power supply, so its 6 to 6 pin. a friend called me up with his isight and it didnt look to great, so ill have to play with it when it comes in. but i wasnt that impressed

robotrenegade · Jun 25, 2003, 05:40 PM

6 TO 6. If anyone has this thing please im me. I would like to try the video out.

Alito · Jun 25, 2003, 05:47 PM

Can you use the isight with imovie?

robotrenegade · 05:53 PM

Nope, and that sucks. I don't think you can record with it. BOOOOOO

Mal · Jun 25, 2003, 05:52 PM

Could someone who has an iSight please post a screenshot of the video, maybe a link so we can see the full quality? That would help a lot. Thanks!

Alito · Jun 25, 2003, 05:53 PM

Very strange!!
i think that it will work perfect with imovie.

robotrenegade · Jun 25, 2003, 05:55 PM

I just tried Final Cut Pro 3 and I still get nothing.

Alito · Jun 25, 2003, 06:02 PM

robotrenegade · Jun 25, 2003, 06:55 PM

arn was nice enough to host the video on his server

I filmed it using BTV pro Carbon
320x240 ~looked cleare than 640x480
24fps
Mpeg-4 Compression

used my isight ofcouse

I added extra lights to hopefully get more details in the video. the subject is my dog leila shes a lab mix.

the video looks pretty good in ichat

it looks ok..the bottom line, its still a webcam
i've only tried it with macwebcam programs
