I've been using the FreeTrack for a long time with a USB webcam sucessfully with about 30 FPS but now want to increase tracking FPS significantly and trying to connect external iSight webcamera to my PC under Win 7 64 bit. After iSight is being connected through the motherboard connectors, Windows installed its own driver sucessfully, but I cant see the iSight cam in the FreeTrack available cameras list, only the demo or my old USB cam, if it was connected.

1. Does the FreeTrack 2.2.0.279 support FireWire cameras?
2. Can I get much more than 30 FPS after setting up the iSight or other FireWire camera?

Not actual already:

It features autoexposure, autofocusing from 50 mm to infinity, and video capture at 30 frames per second in 24-bit color with a variety of shutter speeds. However, the iSight has an image delay of approximately 120 ms.

120 ms-too much latency for head tracking, I think.
