No it it isn't possible. One Application controls one Device.

That's what I thought myself.

Firewire does have the ability to allow additional (all on the same  

FireWire bus of course) devices access an isochronous video stream to  

display it. So in theory you could have up to 62 Macs and a camera  

daisy chained together and alll would be able to see the same stream  

Indeed, my cam has two Firewire ports.

So I could attach my cam simultaneously to a Mac (Astro IIDC) AND a Firewire-to-analog converter which is connected to a LCD/Beamer (for fullscreen live view)?
