I have an older iSight camera which I want to connect to my new mac mini.
The iSight has 6-pin firewire 400 plug.
My mac mini has a 9 pin firwire input.
Is there an adapter that will allow me use the fw400 device with fw800 input?
What is the best source for this?
OK. So I went on Amazon and see they sell 6 pin female to 9 pin male adapters (which is what I need).
They cost about $7.
I would also like to extend the length of the built in cable on the iSight.
I am wondering if anyone knows of an adapter that also serves as an extension cable?
Question: how much can I extend the built in cable on the iSight without degrading the signal?
Finally, is my older iSight (I'm thinking I got it in 2003 or 2004) worth buying cables for?
i.e, Is the quality of picture I will get from the camera worth buying adapters, etc. for, or should I just buy a new webcam?
Hi,
I would tend to look at some of EZ Jim's Posts on this as he has said which one he has had success with.
