Mid-2013 MacBook Air Camera Compatibility Problems

The new MacBook Air (mid-2013, released in June) has a new kind of widescreen built-in camera.

From what we've been able to determine, the camera is not compatible with older applications which rely on QuickTime because, the camera is not a UVC USB webcam.  Therefore, the built-in UVC QuickTime driver is not utilized.


VirtualEyez, one of our webcam products, can open the camera using the newer camera APIs and create an older, QuickTime(tm) compatible camera output, thereby virtualizing the camera for older applications.

We've also developed a fix for our own applications.  Should be ready shortly.

CamCamX 2.0 Live Video Mixer Mac

After an intensive year of R&D into such esoteric Mac tech as "application sandboxing","CoreMediaIO DAL plug-ins" and "IOSurfaceRef frame buffer objects", CamCamX is both new and improved with an upgrade aimed at streaming live to Adobe Flash 11.7 video enabled Flash websites, the standard for most internet video sites, including YouTube.

A brand new device driver (works seamlessly beside the original QuickTime 'VDIG' driver) exposes your live show to the world of Lion, Mountain Lion and whatever lies beyond the giant cat.

Registered customers can upgrade for just $30.

NOTE: The demo version of 2.0 has not yet been posted, but we're shipping 2.0 to customers.

So Long Doug Engelbart

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jul/04/doug-engelbart

Best known as the father of the mouse, but in reality, a highly influential member of Silicon Valley culture that shaped the early days of computing.

The computer scientist Alan Kay, a co-founder of Xerox PARC, said later: "The demo was one of the greatest experiences of my life. To me, it was Moses opening the Red Sea … It reset the whole conception of what was reasonable to think about in personal computing."

If you're into such retro computing: here's a page at Stanford with a video of Douglas Engelbart's original 1968 mouse demonstration.
