iSight and LabVVI

[suem]

Hello,

I was just searching the NI info database on the NI website, and I was looking to see if there are any drivers or utilties for controlling the iSight camera through Labview on an Intel Mac.  I found a link about a product called LabVVI  on MAC OS X (for Altivec) at this link http://sine.ni.com/nilex/DisplayLinkAction.do?id=106NILEX and the more information link is invalid.  Does anyone have any more information on that product and what platforsm it works, what features it has, like can you control exposure time, etc.

Thank you in advance.

Sue

p.s. We are looking for either a driver with an API on MAC OS X where there would be API calls for doing things like manually setting exposure time etc., or a utility that let you do that through Labview VIs etc.

Sue,

You might also want to post on a Mac-centered discussion board to see if anyone knows of a good iSight API.  There are a few good LabVIEW community members using LabVIEW on Intel Macs but they aren't nearly as numerous as the Windows crowd.

Here is the correct more information link: http://www.bclai.net/products/labvvis.html

Note: LabVVIS is not a National Instruments product.  I'm just providing a corrected link here until we can get the other page updated.

> Thanks thats a good idea.  I am a Windows user too and never been a Mac user, but I have someone asking me for help on a Mac so I am researching this for him.  I didn't see any Mac categories on this NI board.  Am I missing anything?  I am new to Mac so I haven't frequented any of those boards but thank God for Google, for I am sure it will find some... thanks for the idea.

If anyone has any other info, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you again!

Sue,

There isn't a Mac specific board on our site. 

At this point Google is probably your best bet but somebody on this forum may have some ideas...

Good luck!
