New Dell Monitor with built in Webcam

I just got the new Dell monitor (SP2008WFP) that has the built in web cam. Everything works great with iChat in that I can see and hear the other person perfectly. However, they report that they hear a lot of echo which does not seem to disappear no matter what I do with input level or the output level. Either the microphone is very sensitive or the drivers for this webcam are not really perfected yet.
I have it set up on a Mac Pro with the output coming out of the digital output through speakers, and the input as the webcam microphone.
Any ideas anyone?
(For what its worth the monitor does seem to basically work for all those that were looking into getting one - I know I couldn't find anything on the web to confirm that it even worked)

Ralph,
Thanks for the response, you are quite a trooper on this forum!
I had my quicktime speed set for Cable (1Mbps) since that is what I have. On your suggestion I upped it to 1.5Mbps and in the video preview window it looks like the audio response from the mic is a little more 'snappy'. I will need to connect with someone to determine if this has really occurred though and I'll get back to you. Hopefully I made it clear before, but I am experiencing this delay in response even when I am not connected to anyone (just using the preview window in iChat), its almost like there is a delay in the mic picking up sound. I'd be surprised if changing the quicktime bandwidth helped, but I have to confess it does look better, so I have to give you credit.
Even though this monitor is a Dell, I really want it to work as I have been looking for an integrated solution for the Mac Pro for some time and Apple just doesn't appear to be coming out with it. The video is great, but the echo is very annoying. Hopefully if the delay is eliminated then the iChat software will do a better job of filtering out the echo. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the first post but the echo only appears on the other end of the iChat, everything on my end is perfect, no echo at all. However, the only new component in the mix from previous iChats is my new Dell monitor.
Thanks again for your help, I'll post back if this works.

  • Dell SP2008WFP monitor with built in webcam - webcam not working

    Just set up the new SP2008WFP monitor from Dell with the built in webcam to use with my Ti 500mhz powerbook. At first it told me the camera was in use by another application, but after installing iChatUSBCam I was able to get it to show a black screen instead. Microphone works fine. I tried the same with my newer Core 2 Duo macbook pro and was able to get a picture from iChat from the built in monitor camera with IChatUSBCam installed (evocam also gave me a picture right off the bat). My assumption is that there is an issue with the older mac. Not sure why that would be and if there are any solutions for it. I tried zapping pram and trashing ichat prefs but to no avail. Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Another issue with the monitor is that at the suggested resolution of 1680x1050 the image is scooted about 4 inches to the right with no way of correcting. I have to set it to 1600x1000 to get a centered desktop. Again, not a problem when connected to the newer macbook pro. Are both these issues a sign of a video card issue?

    The G4 Titanium was top of the bill when it was introduced, and still is a good laptop. However it would not be a good sign if it still was cause the MBP would not be top of the bill. To put it simple it has aged and the processing power is not enough to deliver the HiRes needed to do todays state of the art screens. Use the MBP for the external screen, it does the trick even when it has deliver the high resolution twice and then some. For nostalgia's sake you can flash back to it's introduction by the master of ceremony, you wouldn't say it is more than 6 years ago.

  • 20" Monitor with (Built-in iSight?)

    As soon as Apple updates the 20" monitor with built-in iSight I will be buying one and connecting my Macbook, then retiring my iMac iSight to my wife. Hurry up Apple with the upgrade.
    Now for the technical question:
    If Apple indeed adds iSight to it's line of monitors and since all the new computers Apple is building these days already have iSight built-in will my dream configuration work.
    I know the external iSight works when connected, however there are minor glitches when shutting down, sleeping....

    dig a little deeper next time
    D/FW, there nothing to dig for. You're asking for functionality and behaviour of a product that does not exist. You're better off speculating in a rumours forum.

  • I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

    When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
    Please help.  Thank you.

    Have you tried to install other programmes on the same PC? If they have worked, your installer should be in working order, so redownload iTunes and try again

  • Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi?  If so, please describe the requirements and process.  Thanks.

    Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi?  If so, please describe the requirements and process.  (TV subscription is through DirecTV and ISP is TWC.)  Thanks.

    If you wish to use the cellular capabilities of a device, you will need a SIM (unless the carrier uses CDMA which doesn't use SIMs) and you will have to pay a cell carrier. No cell company provides service for free. The only way you will get free Internet is via WiFi to a free and open WiFi access point, as sometimes is offered in public buildings or by some businesses.

  • New Dell pc with windows 7 and won't download itunes

    I just got a new Dell pc with windows professional 7 os and not able to download itunes.  Every time, I click download, nothing happens, nothing is downloading. Did all the windows updates and checked my security software to see it was blocking it.  Is there something not computable with windows 7?  Or is there something else that I need to download first?  Don't have much software on the pc yet.  Even tried connecting my iphone to pc and didn't bring up itunes either.

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer, should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. 

  • Can I connect a monitor with built in speakers to my macbook air?

    Can I connect a monitor with built-in speakers to my macbook air?  What would you suggest in the 22" - 24" size for everyday use?

    If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

  • Airport express interference when my other new dell laptop with Vista

    Hi,
    My macbook was working great with airport express. Once I bought the new dell laptop with Vista it stopped connecting to airport whenever the Dell is on. Once I switch the Dell off, my macbook immediately connects with airport. The Dell never has any prob trying to connect. I've tried to change the channel but it doesn't help as my Dell is unable to connect. My radio mode is 802.11n ( which is b/g compatible) as I can't use any other mode since my Dell won't pick up other mode. Please help .
    Thanks
    Pralav

    Thank you . I do have my Real player running. I turned it off and restarted and I still have interference from the dell laptop. My MB connect AE only when the dell is off. If start it my MB looses AE. The realy player doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Thanks

  • Can I use the thunderbolt monitor and a dell monitor with my macbook pro

    Yes, if it's a Thunderbolt computer, but you will need to connect another Thunderbolt device (such as a disk drive) between the displays.

  • Adobe After Effects CC 2014 don't work with brand new Dell m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 video card

    Hello!
    I got brand new Dell Precision m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 FireGL V. Premiere and Photoshop works more or less fine, but there is a problem with AFx - software kills videocard (screen goes black for several seconds and then appears this notification - IC454010.gif gif by stumped2 | Photobucket ). After that - AFx hangs on. All the drivers are up to date (tried different AMD drivers - same situation), Windows 7 Pro - up to date, AFx - up to date.
    Got small chat with Dell support team and they said - everything must work fine.
    So - where is the problem? I spent almost 2.5k euros for this Dell mobile workstation, but right now I`m stuck with this problem. PS - funny fact - my Dell M6800 is on Adobe's hardware performance white paper, but seems that this means nothing

    AE uses the GPU for very little. See here: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
    Unless you're doing a lot with the ray-traced renderer or third party plugins (like Element 3d), AE won't really use your GPU at all.
    And the ray-traced renderer is built on NVIDIA technology so it can never use an AMD card to accelerate it. You'd need an NVIDIA card.
    That's probably part of the reason that the AE team has stopped putting any development time towards the ray-traced renderer and are focusing on a more powerful (and less GPU specific) way to do 3d in AE: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects That's right: C4D is included for free with After Effects!
    Since you don't have an NVIDIA card, this will actually render faster than the ray-traced renderer too!

  • New Dell Server with OpenManage Essentials adds SQL Server 2012 Native Client to existing SQL Server 2008R2 in SBS 2011

    Had to upgrade my server to new Dell T320. Support wanted me to install OpenManage Essentials which unfortunately installed SQL Server 2912 native client. Now I have 2 sqlserv apps running at the same time.
    Is there a problem with SBS 2011 Standard running two different SQL Server native clients?
    I have no idea why Dell OpenManage did not use the existing 2008R2 native client, but that is the way it is.
    Can I combine or upgrade the database so they all use one and not both?
    Thanks
    Gerald Fay

    Hi,
    I have asked some who similar the SQL product, in general you can install the different version SQL client on the same operation system, but when the OpenManage Essentials
    install a SQL instance on your SQL server, it will automatic upgrade same SQL component to the newer version.
    For example, if your SQL server is 2008r2, you install the OpenManage Essentials built-in SQL instance which version is higher(such as 2012), by default it will automatic
    upgrade the same SQL component to SQL 2012, I don’t similar with the OpenManage Essentials
     tool, I think you can ask DELL® support for the further support.
