USB Video Class Webcams

Hi,
I'm writing some code to work with a UVC webcam. I've been able to stream data from it using the quicktime sequence grabber. What I can't figure out, is how do I change the settings on the camera?
For example both windows(directshow) and linux (v4l2) allow you to enumerate the controls (gain, brightness, etc), formats and resolutions the camera supports. Then they provide some method to change these parameters.
So far I haven't found anything like this in Mac OS X. I've started my research with the Quicktime API since it seemed to be the equivalent for the Mac platform. Is there another part of the API I should be looking at? Or do I need to use a seperate API to control the camera?
Thanks,
Nathanael

i'm looking for an answer to this as well. i have a uvc cam attached that supports multiple resolutions at varying fps, the uvc driver in mac os 10.5.1 defaults to the highest (interpolated) resolution at a paltry 7.5 fps when the camera could be doing 30fps at a lower res. how do i select a resolution using the built in uvc driver?

Lion, UVC (universal video class) webcam issues

Prior to LION upgrade and then a clean install, I find the MS HD5000 and the MS HD6000 UVC compliant webcams are very over exposed. This was NOT a problem prior to the LION OS. Anyone find a work around or is experiencing this issue with LION? Using IGlasses helps, but he picutre is not what it was under Snow Leopard. Obviously something in LION has changed how the UVC is handled. Any help on this one would be appreciated!

Here's the dmesg after loading uvcvideo

So I am assuming all went well and that is the appropriate module for my webcam. However still no devices found in Skype. Maybe it is skype that needs some tweaking for it to recognize webcams.

Do I have the USB Video Class (UVC) built-in driver on my Mac OS X 10.4?

I read on the Macam website that the Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 is one of the webcams that will work with the USB Video Class (UVC) built-in driver found in Mac OS X 10.4.3 and later versions. I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11. I cant find the USB Video Class (UVC) built-in driver on my iMac, nor can I get the Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000 to work on it.(the downloadable macam software doesn't work with the webcam either.)
Do I have the USB Video Class (UVC) built-in driver on my Mac OS X 10.4.11?,and, if so, how do I get it to work with the webcam?

*"Do I have the USB Video Class (UVC) built-in driver on my Mac OS X 10.4.11?"*
yes

Plug in the camera

USB Video Class Driver on Solaris 10 and Sun Ray

Hello,
Is it posible to use the USB Video Class Driver (usbvc) on Solaris 10 and Sun Ray?
How can I do that?
Thank you very much.

It's not possible. The Video Class requires isochronous operation on USB and Sun Ray does not support isochronous mode.
Even if Sun Ray did support isochronous mode, the libusb library (which is what third-party applications use to interact with USB devices attached to Sun Ray) does not support isochronous transfers. The hard part is the Sun Ray itself. When that gets resolved it probably won't be very hard to add isoc support into libusb.

Usb video class video vs built-in isight with adobe flash player

to get the built-in isight to work on the mac, one chooses usb video class video.
is it the same for linux?
or does linux call the driver 'built-in isight'?
is it different for different browsers?

(1) Built-in iSight is ALWAYS a UVC device and external iSight is ALWAYS an IIDC device.
I do not see how any software, whether OS or browser, could change those facts.
However, I do not use Linux. Because you are concerned about using Flash for Linux,
it seems to me you need to find the correct version of Flash for the version of Linux you use:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
When you have the correct version of Flash, you can check Flash Help for specifics:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html
(2) Unless you get the specific answer you need here or in your Linux system documentation,
also check the documentation or support pages from the supplier of the Linux you use.
(3) Alternatively, you can search or post your question in a discussions forum dedicated
to your version of Linux.

USB Video Class not showing up

Hey All,
I am trying to use some online websites that make use of the built-in iSight (Facebook, Chatroulette, etc), and my camera is not working. I know that in the flash player window that pops up you are supposed to select USB Video Class rather than built-in iSight, however the option for USB Video Class has disappeared. I have searched for USB Video Class driver but I have not been able to find one. Can anyone out there help me?
Thank you.

Welcome to Discussions, bruin06
Consider any of these ideas that are relevant to your system:
(1) For those who have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.
If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. (not your *Home > Library* folder)
Several users confirm that using the Google uninstaller works to restore Flash video functions.
Some other users, including those who do not use the Google plugins, have found other remedies.
(2) User joew13 reports that installing the 64-bit Flash plug-in beta for Mac OS X (DMG, 8.7 MB) fixed Flash sites for him.
This link allows download of the 64-bit plugin beta from an official Adobe page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
or, to download the beta directly, click this link--> http://tinyurl.com/2frejs4
Several other users have confirmed success after the beta update.
(3) User imagerle downgraded Flash to version 10,0,45,2 to restore Flash video.
If this older version is not available on a backup or an old install disk, it can be downloaded from Adobe's Archived Flash Players page:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
(4) User sirjoe82 and others have reported that uninstalling Flip4Mac restored their Flash video website functions.

IChat and USB Video Class devices - where to file feature requests?

Hi,
i'm using a Logitech 9000 Pro for video chat (iChat, Skype), and found the "generic" support of MacOS X somewhat lacking. While i'm happy with the out-of-the-box support, both running it in Parallels Windows XP and peeking around with Apple's USB Prober application revealed that the camera is capable of lots more features (USB Prober even lists them all) that the video input of MacOS X simply ignores. i.e. you can only use 320x240 (10.4) or 640x480 (10.5), 10 fps, OR (in Quicktime Pro) 1600x1200, 5 fps.
So my question is:
Is a feature request for an additional pop-up menu (like "use video stream 640x480 @ 30 fps" in the camera selector) best filed for iChat, or Quicktime, or maybe "OS X" (since it seems to be an operating system driver)?

Yes to all of those.
Sometimes settings made in other places are held between apps.
Take a Look at the Quicktime Preferences for the Player if you have Quicktime Pro or even iMovie

Using a non UBS video class camera in ichat

Hi,
I have a Panasonic HDC-SD5 camera which I am trying to set up for use in iChat, as a webcam
It has a DV-out out, but when plugged in and turned on it isn't recognised as a USB Video Class device
Does anyone know if there is a driver/program around to make this possible?
My machine is a macbook pro, the camera is a Panasonic HDC-SD5 (records onto SD card in AVCHD format)
Any help appreciated, let me know if I can provide more info

The only thing to try then is iUSBcam http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/ but dont hold your breath.

Video blaster webcam 2 usb windows vista

I have a videoblaster webcam 2 USB and I could make it works on windows vista as it follows:
I made a download of the drivers on http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=4900&dlcentric =39&Product_Name=WebCam+II&filetype=3&OSName=Windo ws+2000
and then installed the beta drivers for windows 2000 trough the device manager - I unziped them and put on the desktop and made windows search - the two files stv673. After that I installed the webcam monitor - first I clicked on the file trough the right button of the mouse and acessed properties - on properties compability for windows 2000 and then made it run as administrator - it worked well.

Manos,
The Video Blaster Webcam 3 is an archived product. Did you just purchase it? If that is the case, it would recommended to return the product for a newer model.
The last driver release was back in 2002 and the driver only supports up to Windows XP. There has been no further driver development for this model ever since.

Package for DVC80 USB Video Interface

Gents;
Some info sources say that a linux app can be provided which will permit the DVC80 to respond to NTSC video camera input.
The DVC80 operates well in windows, permitting capture in Irfanview and a program called Dazzle.
The following data describes a possible application which may be compatible with arch. The interface in video apps, especially from USB, can be daunting. Audio is also provided on NTSC basis for camera input via the DVC80 input connectors(stereo).
The data below describes how it might be built in linux:

Readme for kernel 2.6.x Linux device driver for the Zoran/Nogatech USBVision Video Grabber
Author: Joerg Heckenbach <[email protected]>
Homepage: http://www.emuit.com/webcam.html (Dwaine Garden)
INTRODUCTION:
This is a driver for the USB video bridge USBVision from Zoran/Nogatech, a USB-only cable used in many "webcam" devices.
It supports streaming and capture of color or monochrome video via the Video4Linux
API. Most V4L apps are compatible with it, but a few video-conferencing programs
do not work yet.
If you need more information, please visit the Zoran/Nogatech homepage at the above URL.
usbvision-0.9.6 is the first prerelease of the 1.0 driver. I did many changes in the code and I hope I
didn't break working features on different devices. The decompression is completed. Just from time to
time there are some black or white error pixels in the image on slower machines. Maybe it is a timing problem
in the isoc interrupt routine. We stay a third of the time in interrupt and so it is likely, that the parser
is called twice. Let me cleanup the routine for performance, move the parser to user-context and add a lock.
For 2.6x kernels we can use the saa7111 from the kernel tree, so the make will not compile the saa7111-new
for these kernels. The bt819-new.c is not coded to 2.6. kernel yet.
I have tested the driver with kernel 2.6.1, 2.6.2 to 2.6.7 with devices "Hauppauge WinTV USB FM 1" and
"Pixelview PlayTV USB Pro FM" on a 600MHz PII system.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- If you want to help with the development, get the chip's specification docs at
http://www.emuit.com/webcam.html
- A Video4Linux compatible frame grabber program (I recommend xawtv or Kwintv)
xawtv is available at: http://www.in-berlin.de/User/kraxel/xawtv.html
- Radio Application to take advantage of the radio tuner. (some of the devices)
GQradio is available at: http://gqmpeg.sourceforge.net/radio.html
HOW TO INSTALL THE DEVICE DRIVER:
First way (The easy one)
It works with most modern standard installations.
a) In the usbvision directory do
make; make install; modprobe usbvision
b) Start your video application.
c) Enjoy.
If c) doesn't work, something went wrong ;-)
Second way (Not as easy as the first one)
You need this, if either usb-, i2c-, tuner- or v4l-support is missing in your kernel.
a) cp the following files into the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/media
usbvision.c
usbvision.h
saa7113.c
i2c-algo-usb.c
i2c-algo-usb.h
usbvision_ioctl.h
c) In the makefile of the dir /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb, look for the line "obj-$(CONFIG_USB_IBMCAM) +=media/",
insert an additional line then added the line for the usbvision driver
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_USBVISION) += media/
e) Add the line to the makefile in /usr/src/linux/driver/usb/media/
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_USBVISION) += usbvision.o saa7113.o i2c-algo-usb.o
f) Edit file /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/media/Kconfig
Paste the following lines below after the entry for the IBMCAM.
---------------------------- Begin Paste ------------------------------
config USB_USBVISION
tristate "USB Zoran/Nogatech USBVision Video Grabber Support"
depends on USB && VIDEO_DEV && I2C && VIDEO_BT848 && VIDEO_DPC
---help---
   Say Y here if you want to connect a Nogatech NT100x, or a Zoran
   ZR36504/ZR36505 chipset based video/tv/radio grabber, to your
   computer's USB port.
   For more information, read <file:Documentation/usb/usbvision.txt>.
   This driver needs the following support: Please enable (Y or M in config)
      Video For Linux API
I2C API.
BT484 Device Support
DPC7146 demonstration board Device Support
   This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
   inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
   The module will be called usbvision.o. If you want to compile it as a
   module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. This
   video grabber has several configuration options which can be specified
   when you load the module. Read <file:Documentation/usb/usbvision.txt> to
   learn more.
---------------------------- End of Paste -----------------------------
h) If it is not already there (it usually is), create the video device:
mknod /dev/video c 81 0
i) Sometimes /dev/video is a symlink to /dev/video0
You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
from it:
chmod 666 /dev/video
chmod 666 /dev/video0 (if necessary)
When configuring the kernel choose Zoran/Nogatech USBVISION video support as
module. You are going to need also to select i2c and v4l, and if your
device have tuner you need to compile also BT848 support or other modules
that compile the tuner.o module.
a) Do a make modules, make modules_install.
b) If the USB Support and the Video4Linux was compiled as modules.
   modprobe usbcore.o
modprobe usb-uhci.o <OR> modprobe ohci-hcd.o
   modprobe videodev.o
b) Install the modules:
      modprobe usbvision- For a great radio application, try GQradio.
The usbvision module will also load the i2c-algo-usb, i2c-core, saa7111, saa7113.
VIDEO PLAYERS FOR PLAYING VIDEO OUPUT
Here is the setting to get the TV tuner working with mplayer. It does software video scaling, so you can have full screen mode with the USBVision driver.
mplayer tv:// -tv channel=43:driver=v4l:input=0:outfmt=rgb24:norm=ntsc:height=240:width=320 -flip
Here is the setting to get the TV tuner working with xawtv.
xawtv -c /dev/video0
USBVISION MODULE PARAMETERS:
NAME: isocMode
TYPE: integer (0x03, 0x14, 0x60)
DEFAULT: 0x60
DESC: The isocMode is the format mode of the data that is transmitted on the isocronous
pipe via USB. It is not depending on the connected video-hardware. Default is 0x14.
YUV422 0x03
YUV420 0x14
COMPRESSION 0x60 Enable compression for full framerate.
NAME: debug
TYPE: bitmask
DEFAULT: 0
DESC: You don't need this option unless you are a developer. If you are a developer then
you will see in the code what values do what. This is a bit mask, and you can combine any
number of bits to produce what you want:
bit 2 debug procfs
bit 3 debug video ioctl
bit 4 debug video io
bit 5 debug radio io
bit 7 debug usb frame header
bit 8 debug probe and disconnect
bit 9 debug irq
bit 10 debug handling of isochronus transfer
bit 11 debug parsing of usb data
bit 12 debug handling of scratch
bit 13 debug utility functions
bit 14 debug i2c stuff
NAME: flags
TYPE: bitmask
DEFAULT: 0
DESC: This is a bit mask, and you can combine any number of bits to produce what you want.
Usually you don't want any of extra features this option provides:
bit 0 FLAGS_RETRY_VIDIOCSYNC This bit allows to retry failed
VIDIOCSYNC ioctls without failing.
Will work with xawtv, will not
with xrealproducer. Default is
not set.
bit 1 FLAGS_MONOCHROME Activates monochrome (b/w) mode.
bit 2 FLAGS_DISPLAY_HINTS Shows colored pixels which have
magic meaning to developers.

useful only for debugging.
bit 4 FLAGS_FORCE_TESTPATTERN Shows blue screen with numbers.
bit 5 FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES Shows each frame separately, as
it was received from the camera.
Default (not set) is to mix the
preceding frame in to compensate
for occasional loss of Isoc data
on high frame rates.
bit 6 FLAGS_CLEAN_FRAMES Forces "cleanup" of each frame
prior to use; relevant only if
FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES is set.
Default is not to clean frames,
this is a little faster but may
produce flicker if frame rate is
too high and Isoc data gets lost.
NAME: dga
TYPE: integer (0-1) boolean
DEFAULT: 1
DESC: This will set the option for DGA video to either Yes or No. Default is 1.
NAME: PowerOnAtOpen
TYPE: integer (0-1) boolean
DEFAULT: 1
DESC: This will set the device to power on automatically when opened. Default is 1.
NAME: SwitchSVideoInput

FINAL NOTE:
If your device isn't known, add it to usbvision_device_data and usbvision_table in usbvision.h.
You can speed up tuner detection, when adding "options tuner addr=your_addr" to /etc/modules.conf.
If your device isn't known, edit line (modprobe usbvision CustomDevice="0x0573 0x4D31 0 7113 3 PAL 1 1 1 5 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1")
in 'usbvision.rc' file then 'usbvision.rc start'
also edit "etc/rc.d/init.d/usbvision" if you use it
Please tell me your experience ([email protected]), or contact ([email protected]).

As described it is a PAL device. There are options for TV included.
I am interested in single frame capture and video stream capture via the camera input connectors(NTSC-stereo audio). My camera is a PIXERA and has video NTSC output.
The following is reference to the USBVISION tar.gz which seems to require ZORAN in the kernel. It used to be called ZORAN/NOGATECH.
It would seem necessary to enable ZORAN in the latest kernel in order to implement the device. Other requirements are likely as well.
Perhaps a pkg could be built but certainly seems a big challenge!
My DVC80 is recognized in USB.
Hopefully, it can be done in arch!
EDIT:The tar.gz reference below:

I use this one with Windows 7:http://www.chronos.com.tw/Product/E/2/USB%20Movie%20Editor/USB%20Movie%20Editor.htm
It worked bad with out of box Windows 7.
But after all updates it works very well and stable.
A nice thing is that it has little USB extender cable included. So it is less harmful for laptop usb port.

Video Blaster Webcam 3USB under XP

I have found my old webcam and is now trying to get it to work with MSN Messenger 7.5. I have installed Video Blaster Webcam Drivers Version .06 but I cannot get it to work. How do I uninstall everything just installed for the webcam and how do I get it to work?
Best regards
HeloGuy:smileytongue:

When I try to update "Unknown USB"-driver and install the driver, from the Win98 CD that came with the webcam it halts with the following message:
Error in sysdm.cpl
Missing: InstallDevice_RunDLL
Now nothing happens when I try to re-install the "new" priviously installd driver ver. .06

Windows XP changed the way that the port that this particular camera uses works. Because of this, the camera is not compatible with Windows XP (the changes are not capable of being worked around unfortunately). It is probably time to consider a new camera, like the Webcam Live or Live Pro (especially if your system has USB 2.0).

Video Blaster WebCam Go...Can't get pic from camera to pc...

Hey,
i have a Video Blaster WebCam Go and lost the entire set of CD's i had ...so i came to this site and downloaded the Webcam Go Control...and everything seems to work, expect for when i want to disconnect the camera by USB from my pc and take pictures or videos withouth being attached to the pc.... when i try to go (with the cam attached with USB to pc) to Cam Memory it just won't allow me to click on it....
what does this depend on?do i need to install anything i may be missing?
Anwer me plzzz...
thanks to all
gabry

First of all, you said "entire set of cd's". I only got one cd with my videoblaster webcamgo. Secondly, I cannot find the webcamgo control to download from this pathetic site. Are you still using windows 98? If you are using xp, I highly doubt that you are using your videoblaster webcamgo.

Facetime works with USB UVC gearhead webcam but nothing else does

I have a gearhead USB 2.0 webcam that facetime easily see but nothing else does
It is a model WC4750AFB from gearhead it uses USB 2.0 Connectivity with UVC and Facetime sees it but I can not get any other applications to use it
Why can one app on my mac mini find and use it suxxesfully and others can't. This is really stupid. There is no basic instruction onhow to setup facetime or find out how it can see the webcam and it would be nice to know so I can get it working with my other app on my MAC mini

I know FOR A FACT that those two WILL WORK with Mt. Lion and ALL Mac Apps that use a cam.
Skype too.
I really like the 920. It shoots in 1080p HD. EXCELLENT picture quality and video quality.
