<div>==Yahoo Messenger With Voice==<br />
<br />
To install the latest version of '''Yahoo Messenger with Voice''', please click on the link below and follow the setup instructions.<br />
<br />
http://messenger.yahoo.com/<br />
<br />
When you click on the above link, you will need to click on the '''"Get it now"''' button as highlighted in the Yahoo Smiley Face graphic as depicted below.<br />
<br />
You will be brought to another page - the '''Download Yahoo! Messenger with Voice''' page. '''Yahoo for Windows''' will already be selected. <br />
<br />
Please click on the '''"Get Started"''' button as high lighted below in Step 1. Then click on the '''"Run"''' button in each window that appears next.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_set1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Next comes the install software portion. Click on the '''"Next"''' buttons as high lighted in each of the steps below. Remember to '''select the checkbox''' for the EULA agreement in '''Step 3''', indicating that you accept the License Agreement. Then simply click '''"Next"''' and then click '''"Install"'''. You will see a progress meter displayed while the software installs.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_set2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set3.jpg]]<br />
<br />
When you are done with the installation, '''click the finish''' tab.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set4.jpg]]<br />
<br />
'''If you already have a user name for Yahoo''', then '''click on option 2''' ''"Sign In"''.<br />
<br />
'''If you do not already have a user name for Yahoo''', you'll need to create one by '''clicking on option 1''' ''"Get a new Yahoo ID"''.<br />
<br />
After you have created an ID, you can then '''sign into Yahoo Messenger'''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set5.jpg]]<br />
<br />
After you have installed your '''Yahoo Messenger with Voice''', let's go preview your camera with it.<br />
<br />
To preview your camera, you will need to go to '''"Messenger"''' and then '''"My Webcam"'''. You should then see your webcam displayed within the Yahoo window. ''Whether you see an image or not in the Yahoo window, please go to the next step below.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
On the Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window, Click on '''"File"''' and then '''"Preferences"'''. The '''"Yahoo Messenger with Voice Preferences"''' window should then display. Click on the '''"Camera Source"''' button.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_2.5.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Next, select '''"X10 Webcam"''' from the '''"Camera Source"''' Dropdown Menu and '''click the "OK" button''' in it.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_3.jpg]]<br />
<br />
You should now see a preview of the '''"X10 Camera Control"''' in one window, as well the camera image displayed within the <br />
Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window.<br />
<br />
It is fairly easy to distinguish between the 2 preview panes - '''the X10 window will display virtual pan and tilt control arrows''' while the Yahoo window will not. <br />
<br />
'''Click "OK"''' in the '''"Yahoo Messenger with Voice Preferences"''' window and you are ready to go. Please note that there is a '''"Broadcast"''' and a '''"Pause"''' button in the Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window - '''to display Live Video''' in a Video Call, you will need to ensure that you are in Broadcast Mode by '''clicking the "Broadcast" button'''. If you want to pause video, simply click on '''"Pause"'''.<br />

<div>A camera's image sensor is what converts the visual image into an electric signal. Image sensors are mainly used in digital cameras, and they're what makes it possible for the camera to actually capture an image. <br />
<br />
This camera uses a CCD sensor (charge-coupled device), the most common type of image sensor used in digital cameras. A CCD sensor helps turn what the camera sees into a digital image by taking the original light and breaking it down into a series of pixels. Like any camera, it uses a series of lenses that focus light in order to create an image of a scene, recording the light electronically and then converting it into digital data which then forms the image.<br />
<br />
CCD sensors are superior to the other well-known type of image sensor known as CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor), which provides grainier, lower-pixel images. This is principally because CCD image sensors have nearly twice the dynamic range of CMOS sensors, meaning the range of dark and light values that can be recorded is much higher with a CCD sensor. Put simply, a CCD sensor will give you a brighter, clearer, higher-contrast image.<br />

<br />
To install the latest version of '''Yahoo Messenger with Voice''', please click on the link below and follow the setup instructions.<br />
<br />
http://messenger.yahoo.com/<br />
<br />
When you click on the above link, you will need to click on the '''"Get it now"''' button as highlighted in the Yahoo Smiley Face graphic as depicted below.<br />
<br />
You will be brought to another page - the '''Download Yahoo! Messenger with Voice''' page. '''Yahoo for Windows''' will already be selected. <br />
<br />
Please click on the '''"Get Started"''' button as high lighted below in Step 1. Then click on the '''"Run"''' button in each window that appears next.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_set1.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Next comes the install software portion. Click on the '''"Next"''' buttons as high lighted in each of the steps below. Remember to '''select the checkbox''' for the EULA agreement in '''Step 3''', indicating that you accept the License Agreement. Then simply click '''"Next"''' and then click '''"Install"'''. You will see a progress meter displayed while the software installs.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_set2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set3.jpg]]<br />
<br />
When you are done with the installation, '''click the finish''' tab.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set4.jpg]]<br />
<br />
'''If you already have a user name for Yahoo''', then '''click on option 2''' ''"Sign In"''.<br />
<br />
'''If you do not already have a user name for Yahoo''', you'll need to create one by '''clicking on option 1''' ''"Get a new Yahoo ID"''.<br />
<br />
After you have created an ID, you can then '''sign into Yahoo Messenger'''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo-set5.jpg]]<br />
<br />
After you have installed your '''Yahoo Messenger with Voice''', let's go preview your camera with it.<br />
<br />
To preview your camera, you will need to go to '''"Messenger"''' and then '''"My Webcam"'''. You should then see your webcam displayed within the Yahoo window. ''Whether you see an image or not in the Yahoo window, please go to the next step below.''<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_1.png]]<br />
<br />
On the Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window, Click on '''"File"''' and then '''"Preferences"'''. The '''"Yahoo Messenger with Voice Preferences"''' window should then display. Click on the '''"Camera Source"''' button.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_2.5.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Next, select '''"X10 Webcam"''' from the '''"Camera Source"''' Dropdown Menu and '''click the "OK" button''' in it.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Yahoo_3.jpg]]<br />
<br />
You should now see a preview of the '''"X10 Camera Control"''' in one window, as well the camera image displayed within the <br />
Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window.<br />
<br />
It is fairly easy to distinguish between the 2 preview panes - '''the X10 window will display virtual pan and tilt control arrows''' while the Yahoo window will not. <br />
<br />
'''Click "OK"''' in the '''"Yahoo Messenger with Voice Preferences"''' window and you are ready to go. Please note that there is a '''"Broadcast"''' and a '''"Pause"''' button in the Yahoo '''"My Webcam"''' window - '''to display Live Video''' in a Video Call, you will need to ensure that you are in Broadcast Mode by '''clicking the "Broadcast" button'''. If you want to pause video, simply click on '''"Pause"'''.<br />
