Macbook Pro iSight

Artfully placed in the MacBook Pro display bezel is an iSight camera. This small camera lets you use iChat, iMovie, and Photo Booth to make big statements anywhere. So shout it from the rooftops. On location. Backstage. Back home. Show your point of view. Share it with the world.

Video conferencing to go

Talk to anyone, anywhere with iChat. iChat video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so initiating a video conference is straightforward and easy¹. Just click the meeting attendees on your buddy list and each colleague steps into your virtual office. View their faces as if they’re all sitting around a table with you. Make your multiway video conference full screen and instantly turn your hotel room into a video conference room — without paying for a single phone call.

Podcasts and blogs to go.

iLife ’08 makes even more of the built-in iSight camera. It’s simply another camera source for iMovie ’08, but that opens up another world of creative possibilities. Record a short clip with no extra hardware. Just MacBook Pro. Then use iWeb to create a video blog entry or post your GarageBand-recorded podcast.² Citizen journalism just got the green light with the mobile newsroom built into MacBook Pro.

Special effects to go.

Taking pictures of yourself on the road has never been more fun. Add a special image effect — Sepia, Black & White, Glow, Comic Book, X-Ray, Colored Pencil, Thermal Camera, Spotlight, Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Stretch, Fish Eye. Click. See the screen flash white (which puts you in the best light). And there you have it — a high-quality photo you can save as your iChat buddy picture, email to your friends, put in your iPhoto library, or post to your iWeb photo blog.

iChat your way.

One-to-one video

Now you can read stories to the kids at bedtime whether you’re across the country or across the ocean, with no additional long-distance charges.

One-way video

Even if the person you want to chat with doesn’t have an iSight camera (lucky you), you can still wave hello with a one-way video chat. Just hold down the Control key as you choose a name from your buddy list and select “Invite to Video Chat.”

3+1 video

With support for video chats between up to four people and a stunning, three-dimensional view, iChat practically puts your colleagues, friends, and family in the room with you.³ See their faces reflected into space, just as though you were sitting around a table together.

Audio

Already a versatile instant text messaging application, iChat also lets you hold audio chats with up to 10 people. High-quality audio compression gives you crystal-clear conversations, while full-duplex sound lets everyone speak naturally. Record your conversations in GarageBand with everyone on a separate channel, then post your podcast immediately via iWeb.
