Chris Knight: | I have recently installed a Win/TV card in my FreeBSD box, and am looking |for tools that would allow me to capture single frames, preferably with |brightness controll or some mechanism for auto adjustment. Check out Roger's: ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/examples/grab.c. It does single-frame captures and writes frames in PPM format. | I have modified the meteor capture tool at /usr/share/example/meteor, and |it is working, but I will need to be aqble to adjust the brightness/contrast. Just add a few: ioctl( c->tfd, BT848_SBRIG, &larg ) and: ioctl( c->tfd, BT848_SCONT, &larg ) unfortunately, these aren't device-independent values. larg needs to be values in: ( BT848_BRIGHTREGMIN , BT848_BRIGHTREGMAX ) or ( BT848_CONTRASTREGMIN , BT848_CONTRASTREGMAX ) | I have also installed fxtv, which although it is fantastic, doesn't seem |to do single frame captures. At least, not from what I see in the help |display. Fxtv is a gui app and doesn't do batch-mode single frame captures. However, you can interactively do it with freeze frame (camera button) and then File->ImageSave to save image to disk. | The end goal is to be using the Win/TV card, in conjunction with a X-10 |wireless video camera, for a webcam. Right, you want batch-mode frame captures. Try Roger's tool. Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
