hola, so seems that no one uses webcams under mac os x via pd? i say this cause google show nothing..

i will like to use a webcam under mac osx / pd.

could anyone tell me how to map/locate the device and which objects of the ones included in HC installers might control it?

GEM vrs. pidip? what's your choice and recommendations.

any experience on this that you could share is greatly appreciated,

hello, you will need gem_90.1 and the object [pix_videoDS] (a google search on this object will give you many patches and answers).

GEM vrs. pidip? what's your choice and recommendations.

both GEM and pidip would be an elegant choice.

tx Megale for your answer, im under OSX and using Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1.app and that's why i pose the question since in linux i know how to locate the webcam, simply /dev/video0..but under os x im simply lost.. i did search what you said an got some patches to play with and see but so far i get this when trying to load [pix_videoDS]

... couldn't create

If i take away the DS part it comes up

pix_videoDarwin: height 320 width 240
pix_videoDarwin: could not make new SG channnel
pix_videoDarwin: could not set SG ChannelBounds
pix_videoDarwin: could not set SG ChannelUsage
pix_videoDarwin: set SG NormalQuality
pix_videoDarwin: Using YUV

but when trying to access any help file or documentation i get this:

sorry, couldn't find help patch for "Gem/pix_videoDarwin.pd"

what means that so far the learning curve, withouth dokumentantion, gets really steep..

thanks for you answer, it opened a way..but please if possible (if you are under OS X) could you share a llittle example patch?

tx,
