Overview

System Requirements & Camcorder Compatibility

Canon's DV Messenger2 software allows you to take full advantage of Microsoft Windows XP's Messenger program by adding one important element - your Canon DV camcorder. Simply connect your camcorder to your computer's IEEE1394 terminal to create a videoconferencing studio at home, the office, or anywhere. Instead of just typing a message, you can have a face-to-face conversation, making your on-line chats interactive and fun. Zoom in for a closer look, adjust focus, and control your camcorder's playback functions through your computer. Even more exciting, you can also control your friend's camcorder. See an image or movie clip you like? Use DV Messenger2 to easily transfer files from your friend directly to your computer.

When used in combination with the Optura Xi or Optura 300, you have even greater flexibility for a truly remarkable Internet Video experience.
