It is possible, but possibly not with HD, as USB has speed limits. The easiest way to find out would be to simply
plug it in, set it to record and see what happens. I can't remember off the top of my head how to stream on a
Mac is actually a PC running a modded copy of
Mac OSX, and as such, I can't get drivers for my firewire. If you can get your hands on a usb streaming tool, you can pick them up for abour $50, then it makes streaming a whole lot easier. But then again, the HD ones can be expensive. Is HD hugely important? We had a camera dropped by an audio guy a while ago, while we were getting the
RCA strait out to mix live, and the video out port got damaged, I ended up using EasyWorship to stream the video through USB, into a
scan converter and then into the
mixer to screens, that was very easy, I stuck in the camera, and then opened up the software, if you go the PC route, I can talk you through it, but don't use a laptop if you do. I can talk you though the
Mac way too, or at least Joshwhar could.
Hope this helped,
Even if I didn't tell you how to do it
