EchoFX Inc. has announced the release of USBVision for Mac OS X v1.1.1, a maintenance update to their software to support USB-based video digitizing devices including the XLR8 InterView, Belkin VideoBus and others, including some products originally developed to support Windows PCs only. The new release restores the ability to play sound in the background, no longer interferes with iChat and isight operation, and releases unused USB bandwidth when video is not present. Other changes have been made as well. The update is free for registered users; USBVision costs US$25 for new users.

iChat with Your TV

iChat with Your TV 06/09/2004 02:04 PM
Andy Ihnatko: "In 2003, millions of baseball fans were forced to watch afternoon postseason championship games on tape, for heaven's sake. You're in an office with a Mac and a broadband connection, and you've got a Mac at home with a broadband connection. What if you could open a video chat with your TV from any iChat AV-equipped Mac in the world, to watch and hear, in real time, what your TV was receiving?"

iChat AV Irritation 05/07/2004 04:20 PM
So, I can video-chat to Simon Phipps in his place in Southampton, England just fine. Steve Gillmor can video-chat to Simon too. But Steve and I can’t video-chat to each other. ConnectionDoctor says Steve’s not responding to my UDP packets. NatCheck says nothing’s wrong. I turned off my firewall, but I’m sitting behind a DSL modem and a D-Link router that may be screwing things up. Mark me puzzled.

Set iChat Status 1.0.1 04/22/2004 08:13 PM
This is a totally impractical app I wrote, because I had too many status messages saved in iChat, and the scrolling annoyed me. It's dead simple. Pick a status, enter a message, (or not) and click okay, or hit enter. Updated some minor back end script handlers, and it's now built in FacesSpan 4.0, instead of AppleScript Studio.

iChat as phone

iChat as phone 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

Here's something I hadn't thought of: using a bluetooth headset with iChat. I already use iChat a great deal for communicating remotely with coworkers, but I usually wear big stereo headphones and use the iSight as the mic. Instead I could be wirelessly talking and listening using something like this.

I always knew iChat coupled with an iSight was a killer combo and I greatly prefer it over regular conference calls, but with a bluetooth headset it becomes even more useful for one-on-one conversations between other people with the same setup. Heck, if everyone you knew had a powerbook, iSight, and a bluetooth headset, this would kick ass all over Voice Over IP systems.

iChat Retouched 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
It occurred that piping iChat AV video frames through iPhoto's enhancement fun(ctionality) before broadcasting one's mug, warts and all, to the world might be a nifty feature. If only before having one's coffee.

I fully admit that this feature request comes from the same part of my brain that had hoped the digital magic of DVDs would allow you to apply intelligent filtering to movies. Imagine "Contact" sans any scenes involving Matthew McConaughey. Or "Star Wars, Episode I", each frame scrubbed of that phantom menace, Jar Jar.

High-End iChat

High-End iChat 04/30/2004 07:19 PM
I should confess that I am the worst kind of obsessive high-end audio weenie. Fortunately, it’s my only really expensive hobby; I distinctly prefer beer to champagne. Anyhow, this creates a problem: when you upgrade your system to get better sound, what do you do with the old stuff? High-end gear tends to last more or less forever, and unlike computers, is usually 80% as good as what you replace it with. So, I’ve used some of that stuff to cobble together a home-office system. I’m taking the audio feed out of my PowerBook via USB to a (now apparently discontinued, sigh) Stereo-Link D/A converter, then through very decent Linn interconnects to an all-tube (and very beautiful) Cary Audio Design “Rocket 88” power amp, driving a pair of the original Totem “Model One” speakers (a dozen years old now). You can bet that I’m happy that iTunes now includes a lossless music encoder; I’m going to have to go back and junk all the existing MP3s I’ve ripped and grab ’em again. Anyhow, I just had my first audio iChat talk since I got this wired up, with Paul Hoffman, on the subject of Atom and the IETF. It was astounding, remarkable, unlike any mere “telephone” experience. Had I shut my eyes and you’d told me that Paul was sitting across the desk, I would have believed you.

TiVo + DV + iChat = Unicast TV

TiVo + DV + iChat = Unicast TV 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
Leander Kahney rounds up "10 1 Uses for Apple IChat". I particularly liked this one.

The camcorder has analog video-in jacks, which let it import video from just about any source, including a VCR or a TiVo. It also has a FireWire port, which makes it compatible with iChat AV.

When it is hooked to his Mac, Zeedar can use the camcorder as a webcam for video conferencing. But when his TiVo is plugged into the camera, Zeedar can broadcast pay-per-view soccer games to others.

TiVo, DV camcorder, Mac, iMovie, and iDVD would also make a lovely combo, no?

iChat Streaming Icon

iChat Streaming Icon 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
I thought I was imagining it at first. Perhaps it was just the slightly different icon I was noticing. No, come to think of it, Joi Ito was actually moving -- at least his iChat icon was.

iChat Stream Icon streams your mug via iSight or the like as your iChat icon, live to anyone who has the (mis)fortune of having you in their buddy list.

I've always kept my buddy list visible, right there at the right of my desktop. Being virtual, it provides a sense of folks being around--virtual cube-mates, if you will. Now, thanks to the technical know-how of Andreas Pardeike, I can watch them pick their noses, see what they're having for lunch--hopefully not in that order--or just watch them bobbling and jiggling about on my desktop...

...like so many Tamagotchis. All I do is talk to them once a day, send them a file or three every other evening, and respond quickly to their "mornin'"s. Now to send Duncan that Chai; he looks a little drowsy this afternoon ;-).

One of the new features is an "iChat Server" so you can run your own private and secure iChat server. The best part? It's based on the open source Jabber Server. The iChat server works with both the iChat client in Mac OS X Tiger and most other popular open source clients available for Windows, Linux and even PDAs. Apple's press release....
