CamCamX [Demo Download][BLOG]

CamCamX is a 6x2 video mixer. Use it to create LIVE TV webcasts using only your Mac, iSight, pictures and movie files. Since CamCamX virtualizes the webcam (iSight camera) in your Mac you can use all your favorite cam applications AT THE SAME TIME. CamCamX also makes non-Apple webcams iSight compatible (via emulation).

Works with DotMatrix, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, PhotoBooth, QuickTime Pro, Stickam, Flash Chat-enabled web sites, iRecord, and many more... (ever-growing list)

In keeping with our retro-theme, CamCamX is designed after an 80s style two input video mixer. Easy and fun to use. Record live video mixes directly with iRecord or QuickTime Pro, or VJ live out over Yahoo Messenger, webchat or Skype.

In fact, our pretty good iSight emulator technology works with every Mac webcam application we've tested (except for iChat which needs an additional tool iChatUSBCam. Once iChatUSBCam is installed, you can select CamCamX as your camera input).

CamCamX is also fast. Each pixel from the hardware device is copied just once, no matter how many camera applications are running. You may find that your favorite cam apps load and run faster. CamCamX can adjust the incoming camera picture for very low light environments, allowing you to chat in almost total darkness. Spice up your webcam broadcasts by sending movie clips or still pictures. Pause your camera feed when you step away.
