[comp.unix.aux] frame grabbers

xm13@sdcc12.ucsd.EDU (warren young) (06/08/89)

Has anyone out there using A/UX 1.1 implemented a frame
grabber/image digitizer?  We have need for one and been somewhat
successful at writing the kernel driver under 1.0 for a Truevision NuVista
board, until 1.1 incompatibilities hit us.  Any one of the
various boards out there would work for us, such as Mass Micro
ColorSpace II, Orange Micro Personal Vision (use to be the AST
NuView), Computer Friends board, Truevision NuVista, and the Data
Translation QuickCapture and Color Capture.

My basic needs are genlock video (for X applications) and image
digitization for image processing and feature extraction.

Of course, none of those companies develop drivers specifically for
UNIX.  If you have done so, I would appreciate hearing from you.  Or
if you are planning to do so, drop me a line anyway; maybe we can
share the efforts.
