Access Grid Toolkit 2.4 - Mac OSX
Requirements:
Installation Instructions:
Release Notes:
- 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
(listed below).
- To use built-in audio, set it
as the default audio device in "System Preferences", "Sound".
Then, plug in a standard microphone* or if you have a laptop,
you may select the built-in microphone. Be sure to prevent
echo by using headphones or an echo-cancelling device.
- 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 recommended that you
use it only for video, since using its microphone 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
and will crash rat, the audio program.
- 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.
