  Skype with HV200

  Posted by Brian Pryor on July 1, 2011 at 12:17 am

  Hello all,

  We’re finally in the process of trying to use Skype for a live shot capability.

  We’re currently using a small consumer web cam to get the job done but we’d like to use our P2 equipment.

  We’ve tried installing the driver from Panasonic and we can see the cam as a disk device when connected, but no luck for Skype.

  An alternative we are exploring is using a canopus box or similiar and looking for anyone with insight into this sort of technology that plays nice with Skype.

  Thanks much!

  BP

  Was there a question in there?

  Let’s make it a bit clearer.

  What technologies work well with the constraints of the above scenario? Going through a canopus type box or is there something else that can be done to accomplish the task?

  Use the 200 as the webcam?
  Plug it in via FW.
  Check Settings in Skype.
