How can I grab a TV card image?
« on: November 04, 2003, 12:06:23 AM »
Does anybody know if I can do a WB grab & capture the image from my TV card too?

I have a Mediator (A1200) & the TV card is using P96 PIP.

Is it possible & after that, is it possible to grab a 'stream' of images?

Thanks, FuZ.

make sure your card supports it.

email elbox for driver info on your particular card.

and ofcourse use VHI Studio :)

VHIStudio is the only way I'm aware that you can grab images from the tvcard.

Unfortunately, although a demo is available, VHIStudio is a commercial product which you will have to register or else your grabs will be stamped with the word "DEMO".

On the positive side, being a registered owner of VHIStudio myself, it does a FANTASTIC job of high speed shutter-like grabs, and you can also grab a sequence of video that will compress to a Quicktime movie.

However the downside of the QuickTime grabbing is that it doesn't sample audio into the .mov file...but the compression and conversion is quite nice and fast on my 060 setup, better than previous versions that compressed to MPEG which took FAR LONGER to compile the video.

The VHI driver should be on the MMCD and certainly in the MM_CD_Updates.
