camera/webcam video streaming to PC screen ?

by zonnetje51 Jul 6, 2009 8:13PM PDT

Hello,

I`d like to have life/streaming video from my dig. camera/webcam to my own PC-screen (i.e. not for uploading nor recording, just for monitoring).

Basically I want to use a beamer with my notebook to project life images of a speaker during a meeting, so that even people in the background can see the speaking person enlarged, on the big screen.

For 3 years I just used the camera - a DV3060 - for taking video`s. Just recently I installed the USB-drivers and USB-plugged in the camera. By using the Windows (XP) scanner/camera wizard I could get a tiny life video window. So I know that everything is working fine. My question:

Is there any (Windows XP-)application that could get mee (almost) screen-size streaming video from my camera to my own PC-screen ? Other than Net-meeting or webbased software? The installation CD does not provide anything of the kind.

Thanks alot.

So why not the old fashioned way?

Take a camcorder and use it's video outputs to the big screen? No PC, USB or fuss.
