1. Polaris Av Capture Usb Software For Mac Download

Hello all, Bit of a specific enquiry here, but bear with me, someone might have a suggestion. In work we have a bird box in one of the trees outside. A few years back someone installed a video camera in it and ran a yellow composite cable from the box, across the path and into the nearest room with a projector. The cable goes directly into the projector and the 'action' can be viewed live on the big screen in there. However, this isn't enough, apparently!

What is now required is to stream the feed throughout the building and make it accessible in our digital signage. To do this I knew I have to get it onto a computer of sorts, to start with. I got a hold of one of these usb composite devices thingys and can get the video feed up live on the laptop I installed the usb hardware on. My next task is to find a way to broadcast it on the network. I use xibo for my digital signage. A feature of this allows for the embeddeding of html and, as such, Web streams. I know there is a way to do this using vlc, however, I'm having trouble getting it to pick up the composite device, and the embed code is difficult to get right.

I know its a bit of a long shot, but can anyone suggest a decent way to get my composite feed from the laptop to the Internet? Thanks everyone. I've tried to persist with VLC, as we use it throughout he organisation and I'm reasonably comfortable with it. I've managed to get the following code to work: This works when streaming video to xibo from VLC. All I have to try now is to get VLC to stream from my selected capture dervice.

Failing that I may look into Unreal Media. Just a quick update and a plea for some further assistance, if I may.! I can't for the life of me get VLC to play (never mind stream!) from my composite capture device. I have the capture mode set to 'direct show' and the video device name allows me to slect the relevant device - in my case it's Conexant Polaris Video Capture. But when I hit play I get the duration bar ticking away as if it is playing something, but on the screen nothing happens - its just sits there with the big orange traffic cone on the black background!

I know the usb card works as I can obtain live footage from the software that bundled with it. Any ideas, or am i missing anything glaringly obvious? I have had a play around with one of my capture cards and was able to get it working using the following proceedure: Start VLC Media Stream Click Capture Device Tab Select Directshow, change default video and audio device name to name of USB capture device Click Advanced Options Tick Device Properties Click Stream Click Next Change New Destination drop down to HTTP, click Add Click Next Click Stream Tick VCR input, select PALB OK Defaults should be OK OK Defaults should be OK OK Change input drop down to Video Composite In Click OK I then used the following embedded code in Xibo. Thanks for the reply! Windows products don't usually tend to cross my mind as a 'go to' solution. But this sounds like it might be useful - especially since the Xibo signage stuff handles wmv natively. For the moment I finally have VLC up and running and doing its thing.

I'm broadcasting the stream across our LAN via VLC and have embedded html code (as above) to get it working within my signage client. What I would now like to do is take it one step further - I'd like to be able to use the same HTML embed code and make a page for our school website. This would allow visitors to the website to access the feed over the internet. I know this is possible in VLC, essentially just taking the network stream and making it more widely available - for want of a better phrase. I just don't know how to get it there?

Is there a simple way to do this? I'm guessing the fact that the school network is behind a proxy is going to make things a bit more complicated? Anyone have any thoughts?

You will more than likely hit some issues if you want the stream to reach people outside of the school network. VLC will be using a protocol (maybe rtp) to send the stream across the network and it will be using a specfic port. This port will need to be opened by your network administrator. It was the same for us using flash media server, port 1935 needed opening. If you are able to get the stream to users at home then you may want to consider what quality you are recording at, lower bitrates will give you a better stream experience.

. Turn on the computer. On the computer, install the USB driver for the digital camcorder.

IMPORTANT Only the USB driver included on the supplied CDROM will properly enable the digital camcorder for USB streaming. Alternatively, you can download the USB driver from. Turn on the digital camcorder to the VTR, VCR or PLAYBACK mode. Turn on the USB streaming feature of the digital camcorder. Connect the USB cable to the digital camcorder. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer. Cue the video to the beginning of the video footage to be transferred.

Start the video capture software on the computer. Begin playing the recorded video in the camcorder.

If you are facing connectivity issues, please go to our. I.LINK (IEEE-1394). Connect an i.LINK® cable (also known as IEEE-1394) to the i.LINK port on the digital camcorder. Connect the other end of the i.LINK® cable to the computer.

NOTES The computer i.LINK® ports and capture cards may have either 4-pin or 6-pin connections; Sony® digital camcorders use i.LINK® ports with 4 pins. If your computer only has a 6-pin i.LINK® port, then it will be necessary to use a 4-pin to 6-pin i.LINK® cable. Turn on the digital camcorder by moving the POWER switch to the VTR position.

Cue the camcorder to the beginning of the video. Turn on the computer. Start the video capture software on the computer.

Begin playing the recorded video in the camcorder. Begin importing the video with the capture software. Audio/Video (A/V) cables IMPORTANT The computer must have standard Audio/Video (A/V) RCA input jacks and compatible video capture software to complete this procedure. Because there are many different video capture applications on the market and we cannot reasonably know which video capture software you are using, Sony is unable to provide specific instructions or support for software we do not manufacture. However, many video capture applications have detailed help files, including specific instructions about capturing and importing video from a camcorder to a computer. The help files should be available in the Help menu of the video capture software or in a separate file on the software disc. If you cannot find instructions in the help file or on the disc included with your software, consult the software manufacturer for more detailed support information.

Connect an A/V cable to the A/V output jack of the camcorder. NOTES: If your camcorder has standard A/V RCA output jacks, use standard A/V cables for the connection. If your camcorder has a mini A/V output jack, use an A/V cable with a mini connection on one end. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the A/V input jack on the computer. Turn on the camcorder to the VCR, VTR or PLAYBACK mode.
