Firewire Webcam for OS X? - Not Rumor

[Classic]

This isn't a rumor, it's a question.

Does anybody know of, have an experience with, or reccomendations regarding a firewire webcam that will run on OS X?

I'd like to use it for video conferencing as well as broadcasting.

Thanks.

I found the following....

A search on google turned up the following article from MAc Observer, published December 17, 2001:

They reference the camera at FirewireDirect seen here:

I'm wondering if anybody has used any of these and can vouch for the software, optics, etc...

Also, if using two firewire cameras for videoconferencing at resolutions of 640x480 and 30fps, I'm thinking that the bandwidth will be the bottle neck, and not the Firewire vs. USB.

Soes anybody have any insight into that? I'm using ADSL at 384kbps down and 128kbps up.

Thanks in advance.
