-
- Yes, assuming they are monochrome (RS-170) cameras. You will have to
- synchronize the cameras together, and feed the common sync into the LVD.

-
- No. The LVD is attached directly to the graphics subsystem, not to the
- system bus of the machine. If you need to go to memory without going
- through the graphics, you might try a VideoFramer card instead. It is
- a VME-bus based board.
