Canon's DV Messenger software allows you to take full advantage of Microsoft Windows XP's Messenger program by adding one important element: your Canon digital video (DV) camcorder.

Simply connect your camcorder to your computer's IEEE1394 terminal to create a videoconferencing studio at home, the office, or anywhere. Instead of just typing a message, you can have a face-to-face conversation, making your on-line chats interactive and fun. Zoom in for a closer look, adjust focus, and control your camcorder's playback functions through your computer. Even more exciting, you can also control your friend's camcorder. See an image or Motion JPEG movie you like. Use DV Messenger to easily transfer files from your friend directly to your computer.

Use your Canon digital video (DV) camcorder for video chat (with audio).
Control Zoom, Focus, and Playback Functions of your camcorder and your friend's camcorder anywhere in the world through your computer.
File Transfer feature allows you to share digital photos and Motion JPEG Movie clips with others.
