Hi Mark;


Thanks for the iChat grabbing reminder. I keep forgetting to mention this in the manual.


You can permanently force iChat not to do this by unchecking the "Automatically open iChat when camera is turned on" in the Video panel of the iChat Preferences. Then it doesn't launch and grab the camera each time it gets plugged in.


HTH..

Hi Terry, 

I presume you`ve connected the TIS camera via firewire cable to the FW port on your Mac. You should get iChat opening straight away. Cancel that by going to iChat in the menu bar & Quit iChat. Open Astro IIDC (put it in the Dock for convenience) go to the camera window in the menu bar & Open Camera. Then press Start Video. You should get a Video Preview window come up. You won`t get anything marvellous inside but presuming you point the camera at a light source (say a desklamp) you should see the Video Preview window light up...?


Mark.
