Inside Macintosh: QuickTime Components
Sequence grabber channel components are the most convenient mechanism for extending the ability of the sequence grabber component to accommodate new types of source data. For example, if you are developing special-purpose hardware that generates a new kind of data, you should create a channel component for that kind of data.
Refer to the chapter "Component Manager" in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox for a general discussion of how to create a component.
This section discusses issues you should consider when creating a sequence grabber channel component. It also provides a sample program for the implementation of a sequence grabber channel component.
