 |
|
I'm looking to improve the Opie and Anthony Live cam used in PalTalk.
BTW, O&A are the NY radio shock-jocks who've replaced Howard Stern on
FM radio. Currently they use a Logitech Orbit MP but they would like to
be able to zoom-in on their guests in addition to the Pan and Tilt
capabilities.
Anyone have a simple solution that will not require our radio host to
mess around? Such as a webcam with pan, tilt and optical zoom *or* a
surveillance cam with a USB plug-and-play VFW driver *or* a 3rd-party
tool that will capture streaming JPEG from a network cam's IP video
source and publish into a WDM selectable device?
Money is no object here but a simple solution is a must.

Umm..is just me, or does anyone else wonder: |
1) Why a New York radio station resorts to asking for camera info on a
Newsgroup???
2a) Why would they want to zoom in on their guests?....Who is going to
see them on a radio station?
2b) If it is a radio station, why do they need a camera at all?
3) "...a simple solution that will not require our radio host to mess
around?"...Ummm...can't they do two things at once?

Because there are several folks on here who generally know what they are
talking about... and this group is about... *ding* webcams?

You wouldn't have to ask this if you have heard their show.

|
Again... heh...

If there is a solution where they wouldn't have to, then why wouldn't you
want to free them up in order to do their jobs?

Err..if "money is no object", then I would assume that you would get a |
fairly professional response from various companies in New York. I would
imagine that most 'reputable' companies would give a demonstration of
any products to show their capabilities and ease of use. Well, they
would here anyway. This in no way is denigrating anyone on the newsgroup
as I agree that there are several people here who know their stuff.

Bit difficult to hear a New York Radio station in Australia. As the |
original post said that these people replaced Howard Stern and having
seen a few interviews with Mr Stern (unfortunately), I don't think I am
missing out on much.
