I couldn't find any information at the skype site so I thought I'd ask here. I have an AG-HMC40 and a Mac Pro. Is there a way to use the camera with skype? (With my lack of luck when searching the skype support forums I figure the answer is probably "no," but ...)
I sincerely doubt it. Webcams output a very different kind of data signal that the video-over-web services have molded themselves to support. Transmitting a signal from a camera over the web typically requires a switching/processing device and a control panel, like the Tricaster.
