specific and external audio sources, including the built-in
microphone port of the Macintosh, or a separate USB microphone, are
supported.

HomeGuardian security packages allowing the monitoring of many
different video sources. Multiple devices can also be used with video
broadcast packages such as Vara Software’s Wirecast, and webcam
packages such as Econ Technologies’ ImageCaster, allowing multiple
video sources to be uploaded to the Internet from a single computer.

activated. Existing USBVision or VideoGlide customers may upgrade to
the new software free of charge.
