Mac OS X Conference Manager Port

May 6, 2003: A Mac OS X version of Conference Manager is Now Available! At this point all the main features are functional, but it is not a polished application with automatic installer and such.

Notes

• The current development version has a number of specific requirements and limitations. In its current form Mac OS X Conference Manager is best suited for the Unix-savvy user. It is not a traditional Mac OS X user-friendly application, particularly in terms of installation.
• It runs on Mac OS X 10.2.x
• It requires additional software to run, including Apple X11, Tcl/Tk Aqua and OpenMash (Mac OS X binaries available: here).
• Video capture is only known to work with FireWire webcams, specifically those that use the IOXperts driver version 1.0.5 (such as the iBOT FireWire Web Cam). For a list of currentely supported video cameras with that driver see this page. (However, there is a trick described in the documentation that allows use of many DV video cameras through Quicktime streaming).

The main Conference manager Application is Aqua (under Tcl/Tk) but the video media handler (vic) is an X11 app.

To learn more about the Conference Manager application and its capabilities, see the Overview.

If you are interested in the Mac OS X port of Conference Manager as a general user, or if you are a technically savvy user and wish to help test the software, you may download the Binaries ( Confmgr-MacOSX-v0.4.48.tar.gz) Extract the contents of the tarball into a directory and follow the instructions in the README file to install.
