Desktop Video - 2 Cameras into a Mac


Expert: R. Ferguson - 10/24/2009

Question
I have two JVC KY-F550U cameras that i would like to run into my iMac to be used for golf instructional purposes.  The software used for analysis is Dartfish (PC only use) which is run using bootcamp.  I need help hooking up both cameras properly so they can capture two separate angles of the golf swing at the same time.  Dartfish has a feature called Simulcam which will record from two cameras at the same time.

Answer
That camera has firewire output.  So to use two cameras, you would need to have 2 firewire connnections on your 'puter.  I'd connect the cams via firewire and then go into the software and find out how to make it work.  I'm not familiar w/ Dartfish so I'm no help there.  There's gonna have to be a setting in there that tells it where to look for the camera signals.

Good luck.
