And the cam came back.
The grantcam is back after a short timeout during my adventure-packed switch to OS X. Due to other pressing matters, I had yet to get around to installing the latest version of EvoCam and figured I’d wait until I was knee-deep in Jaguar to do it. Well, I did it. I also hadn’t bothered to download OS X compatible drivers for my iRez Kritter camera either. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that there are no OS X compatible drivers for my iRez Kritter camera — at least not from iRez. At some point last year, the iRez site transformed into a glossy online brochure for the industrial design and development arm of their new parent company GlobalMedia. GlobalMedia hosts the drivers for the iRez products, but nothing even vaguely Jaguarian for USB-based cameras like mine. I remembered that IOXperts was developing a range of comprehensive USB and FireWire peripheral drivers, so I dropped a twenty for a copy of their USB WebCam Driver for Mac OS X. Bingo! Both my camera and EvoCam were supported, getting us back in the broadcast booth with very little pain or effort. And in case you just can’t get enough of my ugly mug, the grantcam page now sports a series of previous images thanks to the latest version of EvoCam.
