[PD] Pd/GEM and camera for tracking

[Jaime Oliver]

mmh, I don't really know about lengths. I think there is a limit to how long
your firewire cable should be. I usually work with analog cameras in linux
where cables can be long ad I capture with a pci card.
I think a cheap option that I've seen working well with macs is the unibrain
fire-i:

you can buy lenses and chain them, not more than 30fps though,
