Today was a first for me in a show watch down. A remote client wanted to watch on iChat. One of the producers put their mac laptop in from of my new Sony monitor for the remote producer. Fortunately I had a spare TV tray in the bay, how ironic right?, that I was able to place in front of the table with the monitor on it so those of us in the room could see the screen too. Needless to say the remote producer said she was mostly listening to the audio as the picture quality was pretty low on her end. Kinda fun and scary all at once. Notes from two US coasts at the same time, Weeeeee.
I've read here and else where that iChat can take a firewire input instead of the internal laptop camera. Anybody got a suggestion for a converter that would take the HDSDI out of the nitris bob and convert to firewire or whatever a suitable input would be for iChat. I would hope that the converter would not only take the video but the embedded audio to firewire so the complete signal would be carried over iChat. I guess the converter could also be feed by the HDMI out of the nitris instead of HDSDI if that has more options. Curious what others are using. I remember FCP7 having some functionality in the area of iChat collaboration. Curious what others are doing in these situations.
