I have an iMac (20" Intel Core2Duo circa 2006 w/ Tiger). I want to set up a second monitor in another room strictly for visual monitoring. But the monitor I am planning to buy has a cam and mic built in. Will these devices try to override the iMac's cam and audio devices? If so, would it be simply a matter of going into my System Preferences and iMovie & GarageBand preferences to re-select preferred devices for audio and video?

Thanks.

Tiger 10.4.11
GarageBand 3.0.4
iMovie HD 6.0.3

I'm afraid we may not be able to offer a solution for your problem in time before these forums close down. See the message at the top of the forums main page or The Lounge for more details about that and this thread for a possible alternative.

Thanks for letting me know. I was able to contact a couple of Mac buddies and got a feel for the answer. Cheers.
