I remember seeing that as well.

It seems to me that this is actually a rather important question. Our design-in-process will be much easier to operate with camera video available. If the GDC does prohibit us from sending camera video to the laptop, hopefully they'll still allow us to send graphical feedback. My system will work fine as long as I can use data from the camera to draw a picture.

Perhaps we have to find the intensity and color of each pixel and send that to the DS so we can turn it back into video at the laptop. (Hopefully not...)
