Using more than one camera

If your computer has two firewire inputs, a second camera can be connected, allowing InTheAction to capture two video clips simultaneously. For example, rear and side shots. InTheAction allows simultaneous replay of both clips.

Choosing multiple video inputs

Unless you choose to use multiple video inputs when you installed Dartfish you will first need to activate the option to use two cameras. To do this:

1.	Open the Dartfish options, select Tools>Options from the Menu bar (F3).

2.	Select the InTheAction topic

3.	Click the 2 (need identical device type) option

Setting up multiple video inputs

1.	Launch the InTheAction module.

2.	On the Setup Input Devices tab tick the option Use Input 2.

3.	Select the second camera from the corresponding drop-down list

Catch Up video inputs

When two cameras are connected there may be a noticeable time difference between the action taking place in one video image compared with the other. To correct this click the Catch Up button below the video image with the delay. Doing so will delay the display of the faster video by one frame per click (0.02 seconds). Keep clicking until the images are synchronous.
