Video conferencing problems - hardware setup Canon VC-C50i/pinnacle dazzle

I'm slightly confused if this is even possible to do and would appreciate if someone could tell me how to do it - if it can be done at all.
I got asked to figure out how to get a Canon VC-C50i working with iChat. The Canon has an S-Video contact which is connected to a Pinnacle Dazzle, from the Dazzle there is a USB contact that connects to the Mac. If I runt the included Pinnacle Video Capture application I get video from the camera but these people want to use the camera together with iChat, does anyone know if it's even possible to do that?

A Canopus ADVC55 has S-Video input and firewire out so will work with iChat.
But i would buy a UVC WebCam its cheaper.

IChat AV video conferencing problems (again!)

The more experienced I get with Macs, the more nothing makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall quite like video conferencing with iChat. Why it can't "just work" like everything else on a Mac I just don't know.
Any way, my problem: In a nut shell I can no longer video conference with my parents (200 miles away so it makes for long telephone conversations when trouble shooting!). I can happily video conference with others so I'm thinking the problem is at their end not mine.
I'm using an iMac g5 with a BT Voyager 2091 wireless router with BT ISP. They are using an iMac g5 with a Zoom X5 on Karoo.
To complicate matters, I recently had a hard drive failure which resulted in reinstalling OSX. I have reconfigured all my port forwarding (I had to create a new static IP). And as I said I can video conference now with someone else in the same room on an iBook (I turned off my airport and used ethernet to make sure).
My parents also had to replace their router as the last one died. I set it up for them and did the port forwarding. After we couldn't make a video connection I've just been through the port forwarding again over the phone with my dad. It still doesn't work. I'm fairly confident he did it correctly (it took 3 hours!) so now I'm at a loss.
Please help.

Hi

IChat video conferencing problems with D-Link WBR-1310

Howdy,
I am having a few problems with iChat video conferencing. I use the D-Link WBR-1310 wireless router and a MacBook. My girlfriend has a MacBook Pro at her school which she connects to via ethernet. I connect to my router via wireless. The routher is connected to a DSL modem. iChat video conferencing tends to work sometimes but very rarely. I have DMZ on the router turned on as i read somewhere on these forums that it was recommended. I also have the Apple firewall turned off so my laptop is pretty much naked as far as security is concerned. Three other computers use the network One desktop PC connected directly into the router and two Apple iBooks which are connected via the wireless. The problem is that i keep getting error message -8. Can anyone please help?
Thanks in Advance

I'd start by verifying you have the most recent firmware installed on your router.
Next, start off by trying to test to a user that has no known issues: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html (Bottom of the page)
That will help pinpoint where the connection issue lies.
Once you can succefully connected, then you should set up a static ip address on your mac and port forward the necessary ports in your router. If you router supports UPnP, I'd try enabling the first.
I hope this helps!

IChat video conferencing problems

Hello folks. Can anyone out there help me?
Something is not set up right on my iMac G5 which means i can't video conference in iChat AV.
Whenever I try to set up video conferencing I get either an "unknown error" message or "<buddy> did not respond". I've been told that I need to do something with the port my BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router uses, but I don't know how to go about this.
Has anybody got any suggestions? Aled.

HI Aled,
Do a search for the BT 205 at the topic level of thsi Discussion Area.
Also pop across to the iChat 3 one and do the same thing.
This page will lead you to a list of routers and modems.
Following the links brings you to this page which is the instructions with pic on how to do this (but only for the Text chatting port)
Repeat the final steps for the 22 ports needed to AV chat.
5060, 5678, 16384-16403
This final group of 20 ports have to be entered one at a time on this device. Each port needs it's own Rule ID.

IChat AV video conferencing problems since update

I've noticed that may of us have posted problems we have been having with video chatting (error -8). Nobody has really brought this up but haven't you all noticed that we all started having this problem with iChat since we downloaded Tiger 10.4.10? Or maybe the recent security update of earlier this week.
My question is, if the updates did create the problems, how likely is it that Apple will realize this glitch and patch it up?

I wish I could say this problem only involves Intel Macs or OS X 10.4.10, but I think some of the problems I'm seeing may occur on PowerPC Macs with whatever version of the OS, or Intel Macs running 10.4.9 too.
If an Apple update is the culprit, or even partially responsible, it may be an update that came shortly before, or independently of, 10.4.10 and applies to all Macs regardless of CPU.
Really want to find a solution. Anyone know what the dreaded 'Chat ended with error -22' is really about? Is it bandwidth or blocked ports? Both? Neither?
One case where it was indeed an Intel Mac running 10.4.10, the user gave me the log (I'm a network admin.)

Video conferencing problems

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro 2 GHz, 1 GB of memory and when I try to start a videoconference (though Jabber buddies on my local server) I get the message:
Cannot start video chat
Your computer is not capable of initiating a multiperson video chat.
I do not think this the correct error message.
I have also verified my bandwith. 512 upload 1.5Mb download. Satelite connection.
The other parties are another MacBook Pro and a G5 iMac

I can conduct standard video chats.
I tired the same procedure on an iMac G5 and it worked (the videoconference ability) albeit the party on the other side of the satelite did not respond.
I then tried to videoconference my MacBook Pro an iMac G5 and an iMac on the same network and it still did not work, so we can rule out the satelite issue.
I then attempted to initiate the videoconference on the iMac with intel core duo 1.83 Ghz and 512 MB of memory and it worked!!
This is puzzling

Audio Hardware Setup problem

Hello everyone, heres another mystery. Recently I had to uninstall my sound card driver( I use a Asus Xonar D1 Audio). After downloading it again I cant get Adobe to work. The problem is I cant get both speakers to play. When I go to the audio hardware setup in Adobe, I get this in the output box:
Stereo: L,Ls,C,Lb
or
Mono:L,R,Ls,Rs,C,Sub,Lb,Rb
I can only select one of the options and therefore only one speaker works. If I select L, then I only get sound from the left speaker, R-right speaker etc.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

First I did what you said and it didnt work, so i played around whith the inputs and outputs in ASIO4ALL and then I tried your way again and...oh yeah.
Man you just made my day...well...evening(my day was full of stress) and if I could, I would get you a beer
Thanks man

IP Video conferencing best practice - Tanberg/Cisco hardware

We are currently experiencing intermittant issues with our Video conferencing internal and external network with intermittant screen fragmentation. We have separate VLAN's configured on our internal network for the Video traffic only. We use the movi client on the with the majority of our remote users. I'm wondering what is the best practice based in setting up and support a Video conference network.

Have you set up QoS policies for video?
I have a very good network readiness document you are welcome to, if you want to ping me your email address?
I can't seem to copy it properly into the tech support app on my iPad, drop me an email to [email protected] and I'll send over the info - should help!

Video conferencing and SIP URI setup

I am new to Cisco's video products and am trying to configure them for some simple video conferencing. I currently have the following in our environment:
CUCM v7.1.5
VCS X7.2.1
TMS v14.1.0
MCU 5320 v4.3(2.17)
EX90 vTC5.1.2
I am also new to SIP URI dialing. I have done some base configuration on my VCS, TMS, and MCU, following the installation and configuration guide. What I am struggling with is what I need in order to set up the SIP URI info for the EX90. Does there need to be an AD account configured that has a sip directory value? Or can I just use whatever SIP address I want as long as the domain matches what I put in the VCS for the domain and allow list?
I followed the following guides:
TMS

Any assistance and understanding that can be shared would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mr. A little confused - Arras V. Martin

Hi Arras. Good morning. I'm going to hopefully answer some of your questions you have here. You also may find that the Telepresense Community on the Support Forums is a great place to post this as well.
First, I would recomment to you to update from TMS 14.1 to TMS 14.1.1. There was a major scheduling bug in this release, and had to be removed and updated with TMS 14.1.1. I would start by updating TMS to that version.
CUCM 7.1.5 is a bit older release. There are some nuasances with this version that have been fixed in 8.6.2 CUCM. Also, if running 8.5 CUCM or higher, you can add this to TMS and manage TP endpoints on CUCM via this version. So if you have CTS endpoints or EX, MX and C-series registered to CUCM, you can manage and schedule those units in TMS.
Q -Does there need to be an AD account configured that has a sip directory value?
A - If you add the device in TMS and have it registered to VCS as SIP, you can configure the SIP URI field to whatever SIP URI you wish to assign to the system. As long as the domain you specify is part of VCS domain and your allow list pattern or rule is ok, the system should register just fine.
If you running SIP only environment, you can always restrict bookings in TMS to allow SIP only if this is what your gearing towards.
Hope this helps you out a bit. Feel free to post any more questions here you may have and will do my best to get those answered for ya.

HT4534 Mac Mini HD Video Conferencing

I am considering purchase of a mac-mini for video conferencing. This article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4534?viewlocale=en_US) refers to "built in camera". Of course, the mac-mini has no built in camera. I would be using my HDTV for a monitor. Can I use the Logitech c910 & the mini for HD Facetime?

I also have a mac mini and am using the Logitech C920. At the beggining, I had issues with its built in mics not working with FaceTime, but I found a solution for the problem and now all the programs that interface with the camera work great (FT, Skype, iMovie, etc). If you do buy the C920 run into the same issue that I had with the mic not working, here is the quick solution for the problem:
Cause of Problem: The Logitech C920 camera/mic operates on a 2ch-16bit integer. You can verify this by opening "finder + Utilities + Audio MIDI Setup" and then select the HD Pro Webcam C920 and look at the "Input" Default values.
The Mac Mini's "Built-In Output" and "Buiilt-In Input" formats were set for 2ch-24 bit integer. Therefore, the default input and output were out of sync with the C920 default format.
Solution: Change the Mac Mini's default Output to "2ch-16 bit integer". You don't need to change the default Input but it doesn't hurt to do so. Once you do this, the camera and it's built in mics work on facetime and all other video chat applications.

Need help with an Apple Video Conferencing webcam

I am having a fit trying to get my Performa (6500/225) to work with the hardware I have. Previously I had a Performa 6400/180. I have an Apple Video Conferencing webcam that I was able to make work with OS 9.1. It worked with the original software that came with it and it worked with the software for the Logitech Quickcam (QuickPict setting) I was even able to use it with Ivisit (webcam program). Now that I've had to change the harddrive and reinstall everything, it doesn't work with anything but the original software.
Can anyone tell me what extensions I might need or how to configure it so it will work with what I already have?
Performa 6500/225 Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanks to all who tried to help. As it turned out it was not a problem with the cam. It took some time and some tweaking but I did get it to work. I had a problem with the webchat program iVisit and I was able to get that solved thru their tech support forum.
This Apple Video Conference camera was a great find. I recommend it to anyone who still uses a vintage mac like mine. What a shame it was discontinued.

Video Conferencing in IPT

Hi,
We have IPT setup in our customer location. With CUCM cluster and PSTN PRI for in/out calls and using microsoft exchange for VM.
1. How about deploying Video Conferencing setup in the above IPT environment or do we need to take seperate BRI's for that ?
2. If yes so, do we need any additional hardware like Router, cards or modules etc...
can someone advise..

Tommer is absolutely right about defining your business requirements and clearly define *who* you want to do video with first. If the answer is "anyone" then someone is wasting money because they actually have no one specific in mind. There needs to be specific use cases that can make an impact to the business.
A few technical things to add though:
Video support over ISDN is covered by the ITU H.320 standards. Cisco IOS does actually support H.320 video gateway functionality now. This was added very late 12.4T or early in the 15.0T trains (use feature navigator to be sure). The configuration is somewhat complex though and requires some time to figure out. H.320 Video - ISO/IEC-13871 Bonding
Cisco IOS can also perform the MCU functionality now starting in 15.1(4)M if using PVDM3 DSPs. This is very resource intensive though so be sure that the DSP calculator is run; it now has an extra page for video conferencing. The Tandberg Codian MCUs will still provide a much larger feature set. The good news is they can also register to CUCM now or in the near future as a video conference bridge.
When doing inter-company video CUBE is a valid option but it predated the Tandberg aquisition. You may want to consider the VCS Expressway now as it seems to be the product direction. Personally I suspect it will eventually be the downfall of IME but that's just unfounded speculation.

I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3. Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

I know that the built in iSight camera records video. I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D. Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described. If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

can someone help me ? could it be a video card problem ? anyone had this problem ?
I have to force shut down and it's quite annoying
thanks

Restart your MacBook and hold down on the "d" key for "diagnostics". This will startup the MacBook into the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended tests. Let's see if you don't get an error when it checks the video system.
