Going back to the original subject line, I have run against a
description of new interface card for IBM PC/XT/AT (and 100% compatibles),
which claims to do pretty much the same as Parallax offers for Unix
workstations (btw, does parallax work on Apollo DN3500?).
This card is DVA-4000/ISA from Videologic. Says, it's Digital Video
Adapter for VGA, uses VGA monitor, non-interlaced, full motion digitized
video (30 frames/sec NTSC, 25 frames/sec PAL), Video-Audio-Graphics mixing,
video windowing/scaling/positioning, input from NTSC/PAL/RGB/S-VHS/CDI/VDI,
etc... Works under DOS/Microsoft Windows. Designed to be used with M.I.C
(Multimedia Interactive Control) system software. This all from short
description I have.
Any experience of using this? ISA-version availability is Nov 89, but
the MCA version should have been available earlier. Anyone used M.I.C?
I have only very hazy idea of the cost, complete package with sofware
under $5000? I would be interested seeing some discussion comparing
this and Parallax (and others, if there are any), good and bad points
for both...
I really have nothing to do with VideoLogic. We are just looking
ways to get live video on a workstation as cheap as possible and this
DVA looks interesting.
And to prevent some of the obvious followup questions, here are
the two addresses of Videologic:
* VideoLogic Ltd., Home Park Industrial Estate, Kings Langley,
Herts, U.K. (09277)60511
* VideoLogic Inc.,124 Mount Auburn Street, #200, Cambridge,
