Dear all,

Can anyone help..?

I'm trying to get Gem to recognize a different video input, using [pix_video], but I can only get it to take the input from macbook pro's built-in isight cam.. I'm connecting a sony HDR-Z1E, and want to be able to take that picture live into Gem, but I just don't know what message to send [pix_video] to make it happen.

I think it might be something as simple as sending a [device ...< message, but then I don't know where the device is on the mac..

Any advice/help will be massively appreciated.

Danny

HELP! I can't figure out which driver, or which device.. I know it's connected to computer, because I can change it to default camera in photobooth, and it's listed under firewire devices in system profiler, but I just don't know how to get Pd to recognise it - please help if you can, I'm a tad desperate..!

If you wait more than two hours, someone might come along with an answer.
