Display with Mic and Camera

I have loved my iMac but am dying to move to a Mac Pro with Cinema display. Is it impossible to add a built in camera and mic within the cinema? I mean, with photobooth, iChat, etc...it seems like a brilliant but simple move on Apple's part to incorporate a built in camera and mic into the cinema like it is built into the iMac.

I am planning on waiting until Apple does incorporate a mic and camera into the Cinema before I buy that and a Mac Pro. It seems to only make sense they will be releasing that since they no longer offer a camera/mic unit like the one in the past they offered.
I love the iMac but I don't like all the external drives, etc you need to use it when needing a bunch of storage space like I do. I am a songwriter, videographer and my iTunes music library is closing in at 400GB soon...so three 500GB external hard drives is cluttering up the place. I would rather have three 500GB internal hard drives in a Mac Pro. Also, the fact that you cannot add a second optical drive, like a Lightscribe drive, which is what I want to do to my comptuter, again by adding it internally is the way I see my future.
I just like the my destop and area around my desk/computer to be clutter free and to have to have three external hard drives, an external lightscribe drive or potential BluRay drive down the road AND a camera/mic that is external is just too much to bear at the moment.
I guess we all can dream...and mine is an Apple Cinema with a built in mic/camera.

  • Mic and Cam won't work on iChat

    Hello
    I have a new mac pro, so I am a beginner! However, I know that the cam is working and that there is a function mic because when I can see it on My Display iSight. I see me, and I see the audio. But on iChat the camera and phone icons are not green and I cannot use them.
    Moreoever, in google talk I do have a camera icon, but when I try and call people on google talk they cannot hear me! I can't find anything about the mic anywhere.
    Please, anything you can do to help would be awesome.

    Hi Cathjoy,
    IF in System Preferences > Sound you can see the Sound Blue Bar in the Input Tab move at least half way (preferably 3/4) - then you need to check ichat in a couple/three of places.
    1) In the View Menu of iChat make sure "Show Video Status" (And Audio) is selected (Ticked). (this shows the green Audio and Video Icons)
    2) In the Video Menu of iChat again both Mic and Camera Enabled item should have a tick next to it (Selecting toggles it On or Off)
    3) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section there should be a Microphone drop down and your choice here should match the one in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and you should see the Green bar here move when you talk.
    When doing 1) make sure the correct Buddy List is the "Front" Window (Your own icon may still display as a Video one if another Buddy List is set to Video in iChat 4 and iChat 5)

  • Mic and Cam issues

    I tried to Skype with my family last night, and my mic and cam did not work. They did when I first got this computer (laptop). For some reason, they did not work last night. I could hear and see my family, but they could not hear nor see me.

    You mean it Failed? uhmmm. It could be a hardware issue but try to reload your OS first and see if it rectifies the issue. (make sure you have a backup of your data ). See How to clean reload the BlackBerry 10 OS or BlackBerry PlayBook OS using BlackBerry Link

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

  • Using Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote with Ipod Nano (3rd generation)

    Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any way i can make the Ipod Nano(3rd generation) compatible with the Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote. I know on the box it says the earphones are only compatible with a few ipods, like the 4th generation ipod nano. But Is there any program i can download or use to allow the ipod to recognize the earphone remote and mic?
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm quite convinced the answer is no for that Apple mic.
    I do believe recording is possible on the Nano 3G with the right attachment. But I don't think the sound comes through the headphone jack the way they do on the nano 4G and iPhone 3G/touch.
    This review http://www.macworld.com/article/60004/2007/09/3gipodnano.html says it's possible, but when I look at "Belkin, Griffin Technology, and XtremeMac" I don't find much... doesn't sound like they worked very well ... the iKaraoke is compatible

    Have you used Nikon Transfer on those files? Early versions are known to corrupt files so that ACR can't read them. Nikon has since fixed the bug so new versions are safe.

  • Mic and cam

    this may be a dumb question,  but how do I know if there is a built in mic and webcam on my computer.  My husbands says it is here like his laptop but I do not see how to turn on the cam or know if the mic is working
      I have a new hp pavillion, 24 in monitor,,,  I do know my way around a computer but vista is very new to me

    If you tell us the exact model number for your PC and Monitor, I can tell you for sure....I'm betting you won't have a mic or cam built into the Desktop PC, but you might in the monitor.

  • Earbuds with Mic and Skip Functions not working after IOS 6.0.1 update?

    I have earbuds with a mic and skip buttons functions and noticed  that mic and the skip music functions stop working after updating to  IOS 6.0.1. Now when I talk on the phone the mic on iPhone itself is working and not the mic on my earbuds. Also when playing music he skip functions has stop working. Has anyone noticed these problems?

    Phone restart > if that doesn't work then do a reset of the settings. Full restore would be the last option.

  • Currency field to be displayed with commas and asterisks(formatting)

    I have a field REGUH-RWBTR in my sap script code. I need to have the currency displayed with commas. And also if the digits are less, then left pad it with asterisks for remaining spaces.
    For eg, If the Digit is 12345678912.23 (max value), it should print as 12345,678,912.23.
    And If the digit is 12345.89, it should print as ******12,345.89

    Hello,
    You can use the WRITE using EDIT MASK.
    USING { {NO EDIT MASK}|{EDIT MASK mask} }
    Effect
    This addition overrides a conversion routine defined through reference to the ABAP Dictionary. The addition NO EDIT MASK only switches off the execution of an assigned conversion routine. The addition EDIT MASK calls either another conversion routine or defines an edit mask. For mask, a data object of the same name is expected.
    In order to call an arbitrary conversion routine CONV, mask must contain two equals signs, followed directly by the name of the conversion routine: "==CONV". During output, the content of dobj is passed to the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_CONV_OUTPUT, converted there, and then the result is displayed. If the function module is not found, an exception that can be handled is triggered (as of Release 6.10). The statement DESCRIBE FIELD contains an addition in order to fill mask accordingly.
    If the output length is specified explicitly with len, the conversion routine is executed for the specified length; otherwise for the implicit output length. If * or ** is specified for the output length, the appropriate rules are used for the converted result.
    If the first two characters in mask are not equals signs, the content is interpreted as an edit mask in which some characters have a particular meaning. The WRITE statement does not then output the content of dobj directly, but the character string in mask as follows:
    If the first two characters in mask are "LL" or "RR ", these are not output, They control whether the edit mask is left-justified or right-justified. If the first two characters are other characters, the edit mask is left-justified.
    All "_" characters are replaced from the left (in the case of "LL") or from the right (in the case of "RR") with characters for character-type types or numbers for the types p or i from dobj. In the case of fields of type c, closing blanks are ignored. Data objects of type f or x are converted into type c before editing. Superfluous characters "_" in mask are replaced by blanks. Characters from dobj for which there are no characters "_" in mask are not displayed.
    If dobj is of type i or p, the first character from the left "V" in mask is replaced with "-" in the case of a negative number and by blank in the case of a positive number.
    All the other characters of the edit mask are displayed unchanged.
    If no output length is specified, the implicit output length of dobj is used. If len is specified for the output length, the value of len is used. If * is specified for the output length, exactly that length that is required for the list display is set. If, in Unicode systems, characters of the edit mask are replaced by characters that take up more than one column on the list, the output length is increased accordingly and the output is filled with blanks in the list buffer. If ** is specified for the output length, double the length of the edit mask mask is used.
    If other formatting options are specified concurrently for an edit mask, these are used first and then the special characters in the edit mask are replaced by the interim result. The date masks date_mask are an exception to this. If these are specified, the edit mask is ignored.
    Notes
    In Unicode systems, you must remember that a character "_"in the edit mask does not necessarily correspond to a column in the list display since the space required in the display depends on the character to be replaced.
    The minus sign for a negative number is not displayed if no edit character "V" is specified. The decimal separator of a packed number with decimal places must be specified at the required position in the edit mask.
    Example
    Edited output of time duration. In the first output, the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_DURA_OUTPUT is executed. This converts the duration specified in seconds into minutes. In the second output, the edit mask is output according to the above rules. However, the underscore characters "_" are replaced by the characters from time.
    DATA: dura TYPE i,
          time TYPE t VALUE '080000'.
    dura = sy-uzeit - time.
    time = dura.
    WRITE /(30) dura USING EDIT MASK '==SDURA'.
    WRITE /(30) time USING EDIT MASK
                           'RRThe duration is __:__:__'.

  • How can I add 3ds Model into After Effects with animation and camera rotation?

    Hi all!
    I'm on my way to my final project of Multimedia Animation of my bachelor last year.
    I have good knowledge of After Effects & 3ds Max.
    I want to do a short movie with aliens being shot down.
    So, my question is: How can I import my 3ds model with the animation(keyframes) into After Effects AND rotate the whole character and it's animation as I move the camera?
    for example, having a alien being shot down at the same time I'm recording with the HD camera around, that means that I have to define planes and angles, the problem is that I'm not parenting the character correctly with the plane.

    Element doesn't do pre-anaimted objects, so that would be the limiting factor. Of course it could still be handy for otehr scene elements. On that note, using AtomKraft and exporting the model as an Alembic file with animation might also be something to look into...
