Basic Configuration 1.

The above configuration should work with no problem as theses type of video devices virtually all work with Cambrosia software. The disadvantage of this configuration is that the camera is confined to limited physical range. The camea must be located at the location of the computer and within a few feet. You are limited to afew feet of the computer.

Basic Configuration 2.

The above configuration has many advantages over the first configuration shown.

Advantages

1. The camera can be seperated by as much as 100 ft from the computer

2. You can use any Camcorder video camera you like. In most cases it will be a Video Camera that you have already purchased.

Disadvantages

1. More complex than the first example.

2. More interconections between various IO devices.

The connection flow is as follows:

1. Video Camera is connected to Radio Shack AV Transmitter. RCA cable connection for Audio and Video.

2. Television Signal is broadcast via radio to Radio Shack A/V Receiver.

3. A/V Receiver is connected to WinTV USB2 via Coax cable.

4. WinTV USB2 is connected to Computer by USB cable.

I like this configuration as it lets me move the camera all over the place. A special note about the USB2 Wintv. You will have to learn how to use the application that comes with the Capture Device. You will need to know how to setup the device so that you can be set to the correct channel. If you do not do this you will not get a picture when you go to setup stream in Cambrosia Transmitter. The WinTV capture device is also a TV Tuner so you have to set it to the proper mode and then turn it to the proper channel which is usually either Channel 3 or channel 4. These are the channels that are output by the Radio Shack Receiver module. So set the WinTV to video tuner and then set to channel 3 or 4. You will then get a picture. Quit the WinTV application and then start the Cambrosia Transmitter software. It will then be able to connect to the video stream. Also remember if you turn off or disconnect the the video signal from the WinTV USB2 Capture device the mode will be reset. Which means that the video signal will not be ther the next time you restart the webcam. If this happens just start the WinTV application and set it to the proper mode and channel and then shut down the application and start the Cambrosia Transmitter. You cannot run both the WinTV application and the Cambrosia Transmitter at the same time as they both will try to connect to the Video device at the same time and this is not allowed by the system.
