Dear all, Although experienced in other fields, I have worked with frame grabbers only during the past month, because of my work. I worked with Data Translation's DT3131 and DT3120 frame grabbers (Windoze-only, not my choice), both of which have a large number of errors. The department is now prepared to invest a little money ($500 ~= £320 ~= 508 E) on buying a new frame grabber that is supported by Linux (hurrah!) and have asked me to investigate. After some searching and also from various recommendations, I have concluded that the Omnimedia Sequence P1S-P (http://www.omt.com) frame grabber, often referred to as "Matrox Meteor-I clone", would be the best in my case. My questions to all of you are the following. Can I use this frame grabber with V4L2? Do I need drivers? Is anyone familiar with this specific frame grabber? I apologise for asking such general questions, but I am new in this field and any help will be much appreciated. Thank you all. -- Georgios Kapetanakis Research Associate Department of Computer Science University of York, UK
