Starting with the 2013 MacBook Air (mid-2013, released in June 2013) Mac laptops have a new kind of integrated FaceTime camera. Unlike previous FaceTime, FaceTime HD and iSight cameras, the new camera is not a USB UVC camera. Thus, webcam software written using QuickTime(tm) camera APIs will not see the new camera. As promised, we've created a BLKOP-specific camera driver that enables all b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com webcam apps to seamlessly access the new FaceTime HD camera in the mid-2013 MacBook Air (and later) Mac models.

NOTE: This driver (QTKitVDIG and AVKitVDIG) was updated to version 1.0.15 on November 28, 2020.
