Its a daughter card (Retail $199) that sticks to the side of just about all the Matrox cards (e.g. Mystique, Mellinium, etc..) Anyway it adds video capture capabilities with hardware MJPEG support to the card. With a full 704x480@30fps and maximum compression (~16:1) you get a very good quality video signal at well under 2mb/sec. The only downside as far as I can see for this card is, it requires I run windows :) Has anyone else looked at this card? -Crh Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich
