RCA Setup

Search this site

Your camera supports RCA. Now your setup differs based on the type of computer you have.


I have a Windows PC

Vivo hardware cables, by Sima Products, allow you to connect RCA cameras to your computer.

Visit the Sima Vivo Hardware setup page to learn how to obtain and use these cables.


I have a Mac

The recommended setup for Macs is through Firewire. The image below shows you what a Firewire port on your camera looks like:



If you have a firewire port on your camera and your camera came with a firewire cable, follow the steps on the firewire setup page. If your camera has a firewire port but did not include a firewire cable, you can purchase one at most electronics retailers.

Additional information for Mac users


My camera does not have a Firewire port    [expand]

Cameras without Firewire will not work with a Mac computer for live broadcasting at this time. Your best option is to use your Mac's built in iSight camera or a webcam. Cameras without Firewire will work with a Windows PC and Sima Vivo Hardware cables.



I have a Macbook or Macbook Air    [expand]

Apple has omitted Firewire from some newer computers. There are several Mac solutions that convert USB to Firewire and support Flash for live broadcasting, including the Blackmagic Video Recorder (this device is not affiliated with Vivo, and compatibility is not guaranteed). You can also use your Mac's built in iSight camera, or purchase a USB webcam.
