Unity3d external camera frame rate

I am working on a live augmented reality application. So far I have worked on many AR-Applications for mobile devices. Now I have to get the video signal from a Panasonic P2. The camera is an European version. I catch the signal with a AJA io HD Box, witch is connected by firewire to a MacPro. So far everything works great - just not in Unity. When I start the preview in Unity the framebuffer of the AJA ControlPanel jumps to a frame-rate of 59.94 fps. I guess because of a preference on unity. Because of the European version of the camera I can not switch to 59,94fps or 29,47fps. I checked all settings in Unity, but couldn't find anything...

Is there any possibility to change the frame-rate unity captures from an external camera?

If you're polling the camera from Unity's Update() function then you will be under the influence of Vsync, which limits frame processing to 60 FPS.

You can switch off Vsync by going to Edit > Project Settings > Quality and then setting the option Vsync Count to "don't sync".
