Title: frame grabbers
Post by: mehmetned on November 21, 2006, 02:28:31 PM
Hello,

There is a software project with frame grabbers. This project is about capturing video and then some opeations on it. for my project I need  a frame grabber card whose properties must be 30 fps and 1600x1200 resolution. But, i couldn't found any frame grabbers with these properties. My questions are;

1. Can i find  frame grabber with this properties?
2. What does limit the frame grabbers? HDD access or others.
3. what kind of compression algorithms are used in frame grabbers?
4. Are any solutions used to increase capability of frame grabbers as parallel disk array or others?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a frame grabber with that sort of resolution on a modern PC, let alone an Amiga.

The VLab (Motion) and ToasterFlyer come to mind for fitting the 30FPS part of your requirements...

As Matt has said there are very few software programs for the Amiga if any that will do that sort of job.
The Video Toaster will do this but not at 1600x1200 unless you render it in Lightwave. You can blow up the image using a program like Art Department Pro but its very hard to find I have it and it will do the job but of course it still just adds the missing pixles to the 320x480 video capture that the Toaster captures at.
