Incompatible Cameras

By admin in : Basics, Installation, Miscellaneous // Feb 15 2010

All cameras and/or capture cards listed here have been tested and do NOT work properly with iCU2. They may or may NOT be supported in later releases of iCU2.

Dynex 1.3mp
ATI All-in-Wonder 128 (32MB) PCI Capture Card (Using MPEG drivers)
BocaResearch Boca Video Phone (Obsolete)
Connectix QuickCam B&W*
All Dazzle Multimedia Dazzle
Ezonics USB (under Windows 2000 and XP)

Hi-Val Webcam
IBM Ultraport Camera
I/O Magic USB
Iomega Buz
Kensington Video Cam (All Models)
Miro DC 10/DC 30
Pinnacle DC 10 + ***
Zoom Cams
Sony CMR-PC4 – USB: Works in Windows 98/ME. Does NOT work with Windows XP.
Umax Astrapix 3205 (supports jpg drivers only)
All Kodak Digital Cameras

All Microsoft Lifecams
(we have only tested the VX-6000, however we assume that all Lifecams will act the same). Lifecams do NOT support any video size apart from 640×480 (320×240 is the accepted Video Chat standard, and usually the maximum), which means iCU2 may run slow, or even crash. In addition, The iCU2 Message Center will only display images/video properly from 352×288 size and LOWER, so QMs you send to users will NOT appear correctly for the recipient.

Veo (all Versions ) – Will ONLY work when used with the most current XP
driver from the Veo Website. (Incompatible with iCU2 under Windows 95/98/ME
due to a driver issue )

ATI Radeon 32/64 Radeon VE & All ATI products using the new drivers for Direct Show. Due to limitations of the manufacturers drivers, all ATI cards will work properly only under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and XP. Please click here for more information from ATI.

All videocams currently available have an issue with NOT having VFW (Video for Windows) drivers available and will not work for video chat on the internet.

Any 1394 Firewire connected Cameras require you to be using DirectX mode with iCU2 (Settings – Options – Video)

iCU2 does not support any video device using MPEG format.
