Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Re: Live "streaming"

You also might want to look at "QuickTime Broadcaster" too if your looking at live streaming. It wasn't clear if you were looking for a solution or expected Astro IIDC to do this.

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/

However transmitting a live 1024 x 768 stream is going to be difficult to say the least because either you use up a lot of CPU cycles compressing it down via H263 / H264 or you use up a tonne of bandwidth.

For longer exposures with Astro IIDC, another option might be uploading a single frame after capture (use the .png format) to a web site. That could be done with an Applescript or perhaps some web site publishing app.

HTH..

Thank You Alberto!, no need to demonstrate however.  We want to use our DFK camera for

streaming astro events and targets. I'll investigate the software you mentioned.

APPRECIATE your input. Dean

Since it does task completely different of Astro IIDC i guess i can suggest to visit

http://www.evological.com/

Evocam is a very very nice web-camera streaming software: versatile, stable, with lot of

features. (logos with alpha channel overlay , quicktime animation overlay, time display,

motion detection, etc)

Works nicely (with the appropriate version) on  MacOS9 (maybe 8.6) to Leopard

included.

Works fine with DMK too even if you DON't have access to the exposure, gamma, etc.

controls that you have in Astro IIDC (no long exposure).

The input options are merely  managed by Mac OS  (almost automatic control on

standard

OS panel) but every Firewire, USB or Network camera can be used succesfully.

I have a 24h webcam (Toucam) working at my office but if you want i could put the DMK

working this afternoon (italian afternoon) in order to show it.

Alberto

We have DFK31AF03. Is it possible to do "streaming" only, over the internet, and not

record?

Thanks, Dean
