mmh, I don't really know about lengths. I think there is a limit to how long your firewire cable should be. I usually work with analog cameras in linux where cables can be long ad I capture with a pci card. I think a cheap option that I've seen working well with macs is the unibrain fire-i: http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/Fire_i_DC.htm
you can buy lenses and chain them, not more than 30fps though, J On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 10:08 AM, Jack <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Jaime, i start to understand.What is the length of FireWire cable > for a Mac with FireWire 800 port can i use ? > ++ > > Jack > > > Le 5 mars 09 à 19:04, Jaime Oliver a écrit : > > yeah, just make sure it is uncompressed fw to avoid latency. > > On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 9:54 AM, chris clepper <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Even the cheapest consumer DV camera will outperform industrial cameras >> costing thousands of dollars. >> >> >> On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:09 PM, Jack <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hello list, >>> >>> I'm looking for a good camera (FireWire or USB) working on MacOSX >>> with Pd and GEM. >>> This camera will be used to track people in a closed space with lights. >>> Do you know a good model for this application (industrial camera ?) ? >>> Thanx. >>> ++ >>> >>> Jack >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> [email protected] mailing list >>> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> >>> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list >>> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> [email protected] mailing list >> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> >> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list >> >> > > > -- > Jaime E Oliver LR > > [email protected] > www.realidadvisual.org/jaimeoliver > www-crca.ucsd.edu/ > www.realidadvisual.org > > 858 202 1522 > 9168 Regents Rd.
