Access Grid
Toolkit 2.3 - Mac OSX
Requirements:
- OS X 10.3 or 10.4
10.4 support is new. Please read the release notes.
Release Notes:
- 10.4 (Tiger) Notes:
- The VenueClient will appear squished
due to font size and spacing problems resulting from using
a different version of wxPython.
- The audio component (rat) may
crash on startup due to a bug. This will be fixed in the 2.4
release.
- Not all packages listed for 10.3
Panther need to be installed. You can skip Tcl/Tk and wxPython
since they are shipped with OS X 10.4
- Video Hardware:
- Most Firewire cameras should
be able to send video. Verified models include the iSight,
iBot, and Panasonic DVX100a.
- Audio Hardware:
- You should either use the built-in
audio device or a USB device that has been verified to work.
- To use built-in audio, you should
set built-in audio as your default audio device and plug in
a standard microphone*.
- Some USB microphones have been
verified to work. Verified models include the Griffin iMic
and the Plantronics DA50, DSP-100, and DSP-400.
- The iSight microphone does not
work well yet with the toolkit. It is not recommended since
using it will cause your voice to sound lower and drop about
8% of the sound (due to differing sample rates).
- * If you have a G5 Power Mac (tower
case):
The line-in port does not work with standard computer microphones
unless a preamplifier is used. Old Apple microphones and adapters
(i.e. plainTalk) are also Not compatible with the G5 tower.
- Encrypted venues are not yet supported.
- Some actions take a long time such
as changing venues.
- If you had previously installed the
preview release and your VenueClient from the new release has
difficulty starting up, removing the ".AccessGrid" folder in your
home directory should help. It can be removed by doing a "File->Find"
in the Finder, searching for invisible files, and moving it to
the trash.
