SiteCam supports multiple cameras if you have the right setup.
SiteCam will recognize multiple digitizers and attempt to let you use them. If you are using a USB or FireWire camera, skip to the next section.
To add another regular video input card, it is recommended that you use a different manufacturer than the existing card. This is because most video digitizer software does not include support for multiple sources of video input--and while you might be able to use the video out of both--you may not be able to access both video inputs.
Once you have two digitizer boards installed, create two (or more) SiteCam documents. In each document, go to the format dialog and select the digitizer in the popup menu that you want that document to use.
You can assign a video input to each document as well. A video input in the case of normal video capture boards corresponds to either TV, Composite Video or S-Video. The inputs usually have a range of 0, 1, and 2, but you'll need to experiment to find out which index works for each input.
You can use the Debug Window from the File menu to see if there are problems setting the input. For instance, if you set the index to 5 (and there are not 5 inputs), you'll see error messages that say there was an error setting the input to 5.
If you have more than one USB/FireWire camera attached to your computer, you can access each one by setting the camera index for each SiteCam document.
In this example, say you have 3 of the same (USB) cameras attached to your iMac. You want to capture JPEG images from each camera...
Start by creating three SiteCam documents by choosing New in the File menu three times. Save each untitled document as cam1, cam2, and cam3. In document "cam1" set the camera index to zero & save. In document "Cam2" set the input to 1, and save. With document "cam3" set the index to 2. Now look at the preview windows of each document and make sure that you see 3 different camera images.
Note: If you get an error, you may need to change the input to the next higher value--some digitizers start with an index of zero, and some with an index of one.
Sometimes rebooting will reorder the camera indexes. At this time, there is no way to insure that a camera input index will always represent the same camera. Plugging or unplugging cameras can change the camera indexes as well.
