- Hi,
- I would appreciate if anyone can give me info on what is minimally
- needed to capture video images on the PC?
-
- Here's our application. We have recently purchased a Polaroid slide maker
- which can make nice slides of graphs, graphics, text slides at 4,000 lines
- per inch from something like Freelance, etc, which grad students/faculty
- use for seminars, symposia, talks, etc.
-
- What would be even better, or complement this, is if we could obtain
- graphic images on computer from a video source (VCR camera?) that could be
- brought up in, again say Freelance, then overlayed with text to point out
- what we want to illustrate, and then shuttled over to the slide maker.
-
- I know this could be done with scanned images, but that would again require
- playing with flat images (photographs?). We would prefer the video
- capability so that 3-dimensional images (engineering equipment, etc) can be
- captured directly without the need to first obtain photographs.
-
- What would we need? A frame grabber card, video hookup, software? What is
- the available software for this on PC (commercial and/or public domain)?
-
- Thanks in advance for any help.
