| How do I get a demo? Go to Downloads then download and install the program. The demo version can become a full working version by purchasing a License Key. Back to Top What are the system requirements? All you need is a Macintosh computer running Mac OS 10.3 (or later). 4 MB of free disk space is also needed. If setting up a webcam, you need one of those as well. Back to Top What does this product do? ImageCaster allows you to take virtually any image - from video camera or other sources - and broadcast it on the internet or store it locally. Back to Top What cameras work with ImageCaster? Any Digital Video firewire camera , iSight, and all webcams that have a Mac OS X driver. Try out the demo first to make sure your camera is compatible. Before purchasing a webcam, make sure a Mac OS X driver (some drivers are pre-installed by Apple) is available by checking the camera manufacturer's web site. You may also want to check out the following sources for Mac OS X webcam drivers:
Back to Top I cannot get my camera to work with ImageCaster. This can be a problem with the camera, driver, or ImageCaster so you have to eliminate each one. Go to the Source Panel and set "Import from" to Video Digitizer. Under Video Source select your camera from the pop-up.If it is not listed then you probably need to install a driver. If it is listed, click on the settings button and view the live preview. If the image is still or blank then quit ImageCaster and try again. If the preview is live you should be OK. Some drivers will lock up and require that the Settings be checked to unlock the driver. Back to Top Can I use ImageCaster without a camera? Yes. If you need to upload images on your Mac, ImageCaster can do it. It accepts most any image file type and even images from URLs. You can even capture other webcam images from the internet. Back to Top What else can I use ImageCaster for besides a webcam? You can use it for security, to monitor, send a live image, save images, or upload images to almost any location. You can save images as a QuickTime movie, making it easy to view a long period of time. Back to Top Can I upload or save images to other places besides a web site? Yes. Besides using FTP you can save images to any folder on your Mac or any computer connected to your Mac, including your iDisk. Back to Top Can I upload "live" streaming video? No. Even though QuickTime is compatible with streaming video we have not yet included this ability in ImageCaster (but will in a future version). Back to Top What is FTP? File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a method by which computers can send files to one another over the internet. The FTP secure option encrypts your name and password so that no one can intercept it. Back to Top Can I still use my Mac while I run a webcam from it? Yes. Better yet, have ImageCaster launch at startup and hide so you don't even have to worry about it. With Panther you can even switch users and ImageCaster will continue to upload images. Back to Top ImageCaster won't upload my images to my website. This can mean a lot of things depending on your destination. Here are a few things to try. From the Destination Panel:
Still no luck, then contact us by using our support form Back to Top ImageCaster stops uploading. First check that your camera is still active. You can do this from the Overlay Panel or Monitor Panel (Live image). If your camera is not working then go to the Source Panel and click on the Settings button. This should get the camera working again. If your Camera is working but not uploading, check your settings in the Destination Panel. The "Reset video every __ seconds" feature in Preferences is a good option to use if your camera begins to work after going into the Settings window. This feature will reset your video digitizer based on the time you specified. Back to Top |
