I would like to set up a live broadcast of a conference, which I intend
to deliver using Helix DNA Server. I plan to use a Mini DV camcorder.
I see that many DV camcorders nowadays come with USB connection.
Wondering how useful this could be to me, I came up with the following
questions:
- Since the camera has got an USB connection, does this mean I don't
need a video capture card anymore?
- What is the status of Linux in terms of USB support in Mini DV
cameras? If it works, where can I find information on how to set up
these devices?
Thank you,
Joao
