RE: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: A new elephant in the online room, iChat video/audio converter input?

 

The Skype solution we are trying out for a customer is a $40 Radio Shack
Composite to USB converter. I did find one application that would use a BMD
card but standalone they may not work.

We tried Slingbox too...

Better video quality than iChat, but the latency was too high for our
application (>5 seconds.)

Anyone know a way to feed HD video into Skype?

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.

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.
