Beige Powermac g3 No video feed

I boot it and get a boot sound and no video feed HELP!

I've used the adapter shown here with various VGA (CRT 4:3) 15"-19" multi-sync displays, and set switches 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8 to the ON position. I can't advise you on the ViewSonic adapter. As for the beige G3 and OS X, you can install up to OS 10.2.x (Jaguar), provided that the hard drive has been partitioned as directed (search Apple's Knowledge Base for info) and that you have adequate system memory (I'd recommend at least 256 MBs). Installing OS 10.3.x (Panther) would require the use of the utility "XPostFacto," available as a free download from Other World Computing. If the computer's built-in ethernet port is actually dead, you can always install an ethernet PCI card.

After upgrading to mountain lion, my ip camera video feeds time out

I've been using my iMacs for a few years to monitor six ip Camera video feeds. The cameras I use are both FOSCAM and AXIS brands. I've used a few third party software solutions to do the monitoring, but I could also always use Safari to access a camera at a time by putting that camera's IP address in the address field and logging into the camera.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my video feeds started timing out when using DComplex's IP Camera Viewer, so I thought initially it was strictly an issue with that third party app. However, I then logged into my cameras using Safari and they timed out as well. Similarly, when using Axis Camera viewer, my video feeds would time out. It seems as whatever the issue, it does not affect Firefox, because I can still login and monitor 1 feed at a time using that browser without any timeout issues, and for some odd reason, the FOSCAM only program uFoscam works, but the problem for me with that app is that it only works with Foscam, and not the Axis cameras (besides it's an inferior program to IP Camera Viewer in my opinion as well).
Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution? I'm thinking it's some sort of plugin or video codec problem, but it's well above my paygrade to figure it out.

I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Is there a way to use Illustrator to draw over a live video feed coming from my microscope?

Hi, we use illustrator to draw (trace) over static images of mite specimens taken under a microscope. Although this works, it would be much better to be able to draw directly from the live video feed coming from my microscope. The specimens are dead, so they are not moving around, however, we need to focus down through the specimen in order to see all details. We normally take montage images, but because the specimens are clear there are many artifacts present and we frequently have to consult the specimen under the microscope to double check things. My students and I have hundreds of drawings to complete and are looking for a way to streamline the process. If we could avoid making montage images and draw direct from the video feed, it would revolutionize the way we approach our research. Is there a way to display the video feed and then overlay Illustrator so that we can directly trace over the image (we use a Wacom tablet, but that shouldn't make a difference) so we can focus at different levels and draw the entire organism?
Thanks for your help
Ashley

Maybe it's possible to have live video in Illustrator, but you would most certainly need to write your own plugin.
So this community would be suitable:

How can I make a video feed in Muse?

So, I have a youtube channel, and I really want to have a website that people can go to see my videos as well. So I am wondering, is there any way that I can set up an automatic video feed in adobe muse so that every time I upload a video, it will be put on my website? I am not familiar with coding, that is why I use muse, but I could if I learned. If I can't set up an automatic video feed, do you have any ideas of a classy way to show all my videos? I can go in and manually add them evey time I upload a new one, but I want a classy way to display them so users can pick which ones to view and stuff.
Thanks so much for your help!

I doubt MU can do this. It's pretty limited in scope & I don't think it supports server-side code which you would need to parse feeds. But feel free to post your question in the MU forum. Maybe somebody there has a workaround.

How To Select One Video Feed During A Conference

I have a need to conference with three people and show them a single video presentation. I only need to hear their audio feeds, I do not need to see their video, and they do not need to see each other.
I thought it was possible in iChat to select which of the two conference windows would be full screen. But I don't seem to be able to find a way to do this.
To be clear –
I have a video which is essentially my video feed.
I need to have two different people in two different locations see it at the same time
I need to be able to hear their comments.
I don not need to see them, and they do not need to see each other.
When the screen is split into two windows at an angle, the quality of the video I am sending degrades and the the forced presentation perspective makes the picture even harder to see. Also, there is no reason to tie up the bandwidth with video feeds from my collegues. The ONLY need to see the video, not each other. We all only need to hear each other (my audio is run throug a mixer so I can send video audio as well as my voice).
I thought about trying a video/audio conference, but can't figure out how to invite them to a video chat if they are both audio only. I did mangae to get one of them online as audio only, but it still created the same presentation screen only with a static placeholder where the video would normally be for one of them.
Is there any way to do what I want, i.e. share a single video source with multiple people in full screen, and enable two way audio with all parties at the same time?

Hi,
I thought about trying a video/audio conference, but can't figure out how to invite them to a video chat if they are both audio only. ...
This can be done if the Buddy goes to the Video menu and Disables the Camera (or Video chat if Lion).
However you are right in that iChat presumes there will be video and still places the place holder for that "Video"
I must admit to not having tried this with two Audio Only Buddies whilst sending Video myself.
Logic says it should be possible.
iChat does base the video quality on what it can manage.
This is based on your upload speed and that (download) of the Buddies.
(one Buddy can slow thing up to an extent that in 3 and 4 way chats the Video will drop off - normally the last person added)
If you can get One Way Video with two Audio Only Buddies the Bandwidth issue should not raise it's head.
However things to try:-
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section set the Bandwidth Drop down to 1Mbps (Also try it at 500kbps)
The 500kbps is high enough for 3 and 4 way full on Video chats but you may have issues if the Streamed Video is more detailed than the 640 X 480 pixels for ichat Best rate in iChat 5 (720 X 480 in iChat 6). AT this point you lose out to iChat trying to process the Video.
Strangely the Yahoo App for Mac does exactly what you want. (At least in one to one chats)
It deals with Video as a Stream that others can then look at whilst Audio is more like ichat in that it is Buddy to Buddy.
I don't have enough Buddies in Yahoo (And using the Yahoo App to test this further.

Power Mac g3 Blue & white no video feed

i have a g3 blue and white 350mhz, and it has no video feed it powers up and the hard disk spins up but no video feed

That 17" NEC e700 display is a late-90s CRT type with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The Apple/ATI Rage 128 in a B&W G3 can handle all of its supported resolutions. When you wrote that you had tried booting from the OS installer disk as was suggested, what bootable disk did you use? A model-specific disk from another Mac won't necessarily boot the B&W G3. Do you hear the startup tone when the computer powers ON? If so, did you try zapping the PRAM? Immediately after powering ON the computer, simultaneously press/hold down these (4) keys: Command + Option + P + R. Continue holding them down until you hear the startup tone a third time. Release the keys and see if the computer starts up normally with a display signal. Have you tried the NEC display with another computer, to verify that it works properly? If it has a detachable VGA cable, have you tried another cable? I don't know how you acquired the computer or what (if any) claims were made as to its functionality. Sometimes, computers are retired from fleet use when the time and expertise needed for troubleshooting a problem aren't available. Perhaps this B&W G3 had a bad graphics card? I bought a "condition unknown" B&W G3 (Rev. 1) once that wouldn't display a video signal when powered ON. The 9 GB Ultra SCSI hard drive was making such a high-pitched whine and was hotter than normal. I removed and disassembled the drive, and found that the read/write heads were completely worn off the ends of the arms, which badly scratched the platters. The point I'm making is that many of those computers are high-mileage units and are more likely to have a hardware problem.

Using FCP for live video feed

Hi,
I'm currently shooting with the new HVX200 Panasonic camera. We're using a small, 7" hand-held HD monitor to use for focus-pulling, but I'd like to be able to use a computer monitor or laptop for a live video feed. (director's monitor)
We've considered using the component-out to go into a Component-VGA adapter for a computer monitor, but I'm wondering if we can do a direct feed using FireWire into FCP or something.
Anyone have any experience doing a computer-monitor setup for use with these kinds of cameras?
Thanks for the help!

hey there RI,
if you've tried something similar on your iMac & had no problems it's reasonable to think/believe it will work on your MBP, w/ this caveat: the 400 & 800 ports are actually on the same buss, so the 800 port will handle it's data at the lower(400) rate if there is a device on each port. shouldn't affect any editing w/ the drive once the cam is removed from the MBP. it should the run @ the higher rate.
good luck.

Wireless camera video feed?

I'm part of a group doing a project of remotely controlling a RC plane. As such a camera is required to be mounted onto the RC plane so as to provide a video feed for the user on the ground to control the RC plane with. Because the RC plane will be controlled wireless, the camera mounted also has to be wireless. We have decided on a wireless camera set up that outputs through a RGB output at the receiver end. I was hoping you could tell me how we can hook the RGB video receiver up to a laptop to receive the wireless video feed and display the video feed on Labview.

hi Grad,
very nice idea! ;-)
but unfortunately the only thing I could found 'bout is this.

Can't get video feed

Hey! I've attached several cameras to my computer, and OnLocation has recognized the camera. It'll even say "Video feed interrupted" or something like that when I disconnect the camera. However, I haven't been able to get any image in OnLocation of any kind. All I get is a blank screen. Any suggestions?

Since you're shooting DV, not HDV, that rules out the trial version as the cause--the trial does not support HDV.
Which means more questions:
* Do you have any other programs running that could be grabbing the video stream. (Only one program can tap into that stream at a time.)
* How long is the FireWire cable? (Longer cables are more likely to fail, although that's less of a concern with DV than DVCPROHD.)
And some suggestions:
* Try another FireWire cable.
* Try a different FireWire port or, if possible, a different card altogether
* If no other cables or cards are available, try at least unplugging the cable from the computer and plugging it back in and/or cycling power on the camera.
Also, you did not respond re: the version you're running.

Insert live video feed in Keynote

Hello,
How could I insert a live video feed in a running Keynote presentation ?
Source could be webcam, iPhone video output, etc.
I'd like to keep the background of the Keynote presentation while the live video plays on top.
Thx for your help.

Here's how I got it working today (slight modifications to Unami's guide):
1) Install Quartz Composer (it comes with the XCode Developement Utilities on your OSX installation disc)
*2) Download the KinemeCore ( http://kineme.net/files/release/KinemeCore/KinemeCore-0.5.1bInstaller.pkg.zip ) and install.
3) Open Quartz Composer and create a blank composition.
*4) Click on the KinemaCore menu in the top menu (between Window and Help) and select KinemaCore Preferences. Click on the Unsafe Mode tab. For each of the required applications on the left, check "Safe" for Video Input on the right. (I checked Video Input as "Safe" for every application, just in case.)
5) Open the Patch Library, then add a "Video Input" and a "Billboard" patch
( To select another than the default video input device, select the Video Input patch, open the Patch Inspector and change the input device in the Settings tab )
6) Connect the "Image" output of the Video Input Patch to the "Image" input of the "Billboard" Patch (click and drag from the white dot next to "Image")
7) Save this composition and close Quartz Composer
8) Now, open Keynote and drag the .qtz file you just saved into your presentation
For some reason, Keynote will occasionally not allow me to drag/drop the .qtz file into its window. Closing that window and starting a new document fixes this.
Hope that helps.
