Connecting 4 USB cameras to my Mac.

Posted by Daniel Charon on April 6, 2014 at 4:27pm in Sample Title

Hi. I'm working on a project using Isadora software in a dance production. I'd like to use 4 USB cameras to capture live content. Does anyone know what type of hardware I need to be able to do this. A powered USB hub only allows for two cameras max.

Thank you.

    Hi Daniel. It depends on what kind of computer you're using and if there are other USB busses available. Some initial questions...

    Is the computer Windows or Mac?

    Laptop or desktop?

    What version is the OS?

      I have a 2013 mac laptop running OS 10.9.3. 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB Ram. There is one USB port on each side = 2 total.

      Thanks!
