Connecting HDMI for external webcam?

Hi there,
Please forgive my noobishness as far as this problem goes. I have a Creative Vado HD and wanted to be able to use this as a webcam, and I was wondering if there was any way I could do this with the MacBook Pro 15" i7? As I understand it, the Vado will function as a webcam only with an HDMI connection. I'm a broke college student so I don't have a lot of options for alternative peripherals.
Thanks for any help.

  • ADC DVI HDMI for external viewing of HD footage

    Hi,
    I have an HDTV that I want to use as a second monitor but primarily as an HD monitor for external playback from Final Cut. I need to know if this will work before I go and buy all of these cables.
    Can I go out of my ADC with a ADC > DVI then go into the TV with DVI to HDMI? Would that work. Can I bypass the DVI and just find an ADC > HDMI cable? I don't even know if there is such a thing.
    Thanks for the help.

    I just posted this on another msg board regarding the topic::
    Here is the link to the post too:

    I just received my cables in the mail today and set everything up.
    This is what I did:
    Dual Mac G5 2.5 w/ ATI x800XT
    DVI -> Apple Cinema Display
    ADC -> Belkin ADC to DVI Monitor Adapter -> Gefen DVI to HDMI Cable
    Going to a Samsung 32" LN-S3251D
    I did run into some little issues that I am trying to resolve. For some reason this setup did not initially work because my television would not switch to HDMI input. I don't think it was receiving a signal although in my system preferences it detected both displays. So I put the cinema display on the adc to dvi adapater and the LCD TV directly to the DVI output on the ATI card. This worked but tweaking resolutions and messing with the mirror mode wasn't producing what I wanted.
    So while the computer and all the displays were still on, I switched the cables back to the original set up. Works perfect. I have 1 inch of black space running vertically to the left and right of my desktop (on the LCD TV). My cinema display looks the same as before. This is on mirror mode.
    The thing I can not figure out, is how the **** can I keep this setup without losing the signal to the tv. If i switch to a different input source on the LCD, I can not get back to the HDMI with the computer showing
    I am kinda new to this stuff... Any suggestions?

  • Connecting to Camstreams/external webcam

    Hi
    I have had a weather webcam operating on my old router (Orange) for many years. Its connected to my computer by a firewire cable and then viewed on the web via camstreams. I have now joined BT and have a homehub 4, but unable to get my video/picture to stream on the internet.
    I am guessing its a port forwarding issue which I cannot resolve
    Any thoughts anybody
    thanks

  • How to make AEC work with external webcam?

    Hi everyone.
    What I'm trying to do is to make AEC work with external webcams. My target: flash in browser and desktop AIR app.
    I have the following situations:
    1. Laptop Lenovo S400, really not the best laptop, with MIC placed right above the speakers. But... AEC works excellent!
    2. PC with Logitech 1080p webcam (which has stereo microphones) and external speakers. But... AEC doesn't work at all. It even doesn't try to reduce any speakers sound in microphone data.
    3. The same laptop with connected Logitech camera and again - AEC doesn't work.
    In each situation I use absolutaly the same environment(Win7, target player - 11.9, Flex 4.6.0 SDK), code, compiller, etc..
    And I was unable to find any info for such situation.
    Does anybody have experience with such problem? I will be really grateful for any help.
    Here are parts of code:
    //  somwhere early...
    _microphone = Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone();
    //  called before we attach microphone to NetStream
    private function _setMicrophoneMode():void
                _microphone.setLoopBack(false);
                _microphone.framesPerPacket = 1;
                _microphone.setSilenceLevel(0, 2000);
                _microphone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
                _microphone.encodeQuality = 10;
                _microphone.gain = 50;
                _microphone.rate = 44;
                if (_useEchoSuppression)
                var options:MicrophoneEnhancedOptions = _microphone.enhancedOptions;
                options.mode = MicrophoneEnhancedMode.HALF_DUPLEX;// using this for external webcams
                options.echoPath = 128;
                options.nonLinearProcessing = true;
                _microphone.enhancedOptions = options;
                } else
                    _microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(true);
                    trace(_microphone);

    I think that with the current state of the Adobe AIR Adobe FLash platforms, there is too much work to do to get echo cancellation to work on all platforms, and to get video to work as expected too. I think Adobe could solve many of these issues by implementing native WebRTC into the AIR platform, see this post here:

  • How do I use iMac as monitor for external DVD player (HDMI to Mini DisplayPort)

    iMac 27" (late 2009).  Internal DVD is region locked.  I would like to use an external DVD player to watch DVD's from other regions.
    I can't use the new Apple SuperDrive because they say it's not compatible with iMac's before 2012. (Is it??)
    My iMac doesn't have Thunderbolt.  It has mini displayport. 
    I have resigned to getting a generic DVD player and plugging it into the screen.
    I have found this in Apple support pages...
    Can I use the iMac in TDM as a display for my gaming console, DVD player, or other device?
    The Mini DisplayPort port on a supported iMac can receive DisplayPort compliant video and audio signals. Converters not made by Apple may provide options to convert other electrical, video, and audio protocols to Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt compliant signals.
    ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924 )
    What is DisplayPort compliant video and audio signals?  Does HDMI fit into that signal type?
    Is it possible to get an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort converter?
    Will it work if I get a generic DVD player with HDMI output? (and connect it to the iMac through MiniDisplayPort)

    First try VLC.
    <http://www.videolan.org>
    On many Macs, it will play DVDs even if the region codes don't match.
    The Apple SuperDrive should work if you use the terminal (Utilities foldsr) command:
    sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"
    There are also non-Apple USB or FireWire external DVD (and Blu-ray) drives, such as:
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/>
    Apple's DVD player may not work with external drives, but you can use VLC or Blu-ray™ Player
    <http://www.macblurayplayer.com>
    There is a converter to connect HDMI to the iMac via TDM
    <http://www.kanexlive.com/xd>
    but it will run at 720p (1280 x 720) and may have problems with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) on HDMI from Blu-ray or DVD players.

  • Excel Services Connectivity on Sharepoint 2013 for external user

    Currently , external user is able to refresh the data on sharepoint site through browser. the data connection is pointing the one of the external data source. But how can an external user (Internet user which accessing sharepoint through internet) download
    a copy of excel in sharepoint library and open the excel workbook with data refresh ability at client machine ?
    Do we need client machine to be able to access / ping the external data source? 
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.
    They want to perform data analysis and design their own report with own template , for example : to remove subtotal from the powerpivot tables which we cannot change the formatting at the excel services at browser level.
    So if i understand correctly, we need to get the client machine to be able to access to the database server directly to get the access to the cube for data analysis although we had this odc file connection setup, am i right?
    For internal user, network team should open port / access for them to access database server directly.
    For external user, either to open public access to the database server directly or setup a VPN connection for the external user to access the database server in their secure network.
    Let me know if i understand this correctly.
    Thanks.

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

    Hi Simanchal,
    Whether this issue occurred for internal user.
    Please check whether you set access on the BCS object that you created. Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Manage Service Applications -> Business Data Connectivity Service* -> [Your Entity] -> Set Permissions.
    If the above solution doesn’t work, please set Metadata Store Permissions on the BCS object, compare the result.

    Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser.  I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Is there an external webcam made for the original iPad?

    Is there an external webcam made for the original iPad?

    There was an iClops project for awhile, but the folks abandoned the idea, I heard for possible legal reasons.
    There is an app, Camera for iPad, that lets you use the iPhone's better resolution camera to take photos for other iOS devices. But it does not work with any video apps. I am not sure why I would take photos with an iPhone for the iPad, unless it was for later viwing on the larger display.
