DV Messenger

Expand your communication horizons!

With Canon’s DV Messenger software, Microsoft® Windows® XP, and your Canon camcorder, YOU CAN!

Get ready to take the next step in two-way communication: Canon’s DV Messenger, together with Windows® Messenger (Microsoft® Windows® XP standard) and your Canon digital camcorder now offer you new, exciting ways to communicate at home or at the office or better yet between the two!
Simply connect your digital camcorder to your computer’s IEEE 1394 terminal to create a videoconferencing studio. Or instead of just typing a message, you can have a face-to-face conversation, making your on-line chats interactive and fun. While conversing, zoom in for a closer look, adjust the focus and control your camcorder’s playback functions through your computer. In addition, you can also control a camcorder at a remote location. While exploring the captured images on this remote camcorder, should you see a Still Image or Motion JPEG movie you like, you can easily transfer it from the remote camcorder directly to your computer.

Explore 3 new communication dimensions!

1.  Add audio and video to your online chat


The days of “blind chatting” are over. Enjoy the enhanced sound and picture quality by using your digital camcorder as an advanced webcam.

2.  Exercise control of both your camcorder and a remote camcorder


Camera Control
During your chat or videoconference you can actively take part by using the camera control functions of both your camcorder and the remote camcorder which include: zoom wide, zoom tele, focus near, focus far, focus auto and manual switching

VTR Control
Not only can you control live-streaming images but you can also control previously recorded images of the remote camcorder. View previous recorded video material using the wide range of functions: Play, play reverse, play speed control, stop, pause, wind, rewind, next frame and previous frame.

3.  Share recorded images*


In an instant you can expand you personal image bank by transferring Still Images and Motion JPEG movies (stored onto a Memory Card) from the remote camcorder. Get the file list, select the file and transfer to your own computer and naturally, enjoy!
