Introduction

QuickTime Conferencing (QTC) is a system software extension. It comes with Apple Media Conference, an application program you use to set up video conferences, collaborate with others, exchange live video and sound, and share information over a network.

Apple Media Conference takes advantage of the networking capability already built into your computer so you can connect with other video conferencing systems over a local or wide area network, such as an AppleTalk local area network or the TCP/IP Internet.

This manual provides a description of the QuickTime Conferencing products and tools, their specifications, a troubleshooting guide, and a parts list.

QTC Camera 100 General Description

The video camera is a CCD image sensing device capable of working in a variety of light conditions and providing video images to the video input of the computer. The external package provides a means of stable positioning in a computing work environment, while allowing the user to position the camera for a variety of image captures.

Each pixel has a color filter and lens over it. The lenses widen the effective photo diode light sensing area, making the CCD more light sensitive.

QTC Camera 100 Connections

With the exception of the Macintosh Quadra 840 & 660 AV, Power Macintosh 7500 and 8500, this camera is connected to the back panel of a Power Macintosh AV model “S video connector” via a single cable conveying the video signal from the camera and the 12V DC supply to the camera. Only the Power Macintosh 7100AV and 8100AV uses the integrated power/video cable.

The Power Macintosh 7500 and 8500 use the separate RCA to RCA cable and S-Video to power cables. The Quadra 660AV and 840AVA use the RCA to RCA cable with a 12 Volt power adapter.
