[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Digitizing with the Colorspace IIi framegrabber card.

frodek@forit.uit.no (Frode Kileng) (08/24/90)

We have a ColorSpace IIi framegrabber card from Mass Microsystems. It was 
delivered with software for doing framegrabbing, a driver for the card, 
resources for Hypercard/Supercard and a library written in MPW C for 
low level control of the card.

My problem is that I want to do framegrabbing in a C or pascal program.
The MPW C library gives me only low level control and status information over
the framegrabber card and no help to do digitize a video frame.

The paper "Inside Colorspace", describing the MPW C library (CSLIB),
says that "The ColorSpace II digitizer libraries are not described in this 
documentation.  They are not in a state that is very easily usable by other
developers".

We have tried Mass Microsystems technical support service.  The person we
talked to wondered why we couldn't develop our applications in Hypercard!!
But they promised to send us some stuff on the fax immediately
(That's 3 weeks ago).

If somebody out there can tell me how to do framegrabbing with the card, using 
either C or pascal, I would appreciate to hear from them.
