Is it possible to use multiple jit.qt.grab objects with one webcam?

I have an old Philips ToUCam running fine with the IOXperts driver.

Trying to instantiate more than 1 jit.qt.grab with the same device at 

Is this simply impossible or could it be dependent on the camera and/

Trying to instantiate more than 1 jit.qt.grab with the same device at  
the same time doesn't work.
My question:
Is this simply impossible or could it be dependent on the camera and/ 
or driver?

Impossible. Just use one and send to two different locations (more 

efficient than it would be to grab the data twice from the camera and 

effectively the same result). You can store in a named matrix for 

driving at a different framerate/resolution if you like.

Would recommend you use Jitter mailing list/forum for such topics, btw.

Sorry, didn't pay attention, but after using the max(msp) lists for 

more than 10 years I'm still not used to all these max/msp/jitter/ 

java/dev/javascript/etc mailing list bifurcations. But that's
