Hello Quentin, I still use my Snappy module- (was $99 in the mid 90's)connects to a video cam, parallel port- capture is manual trigger. I also had an ATI all in wonder pro(pci)- connects to camera, take stills every second in the vcr mode in automode. Yes, these are pc based but they are relatively cheap. regards-rf ----- Original Message ----- From: Quentin To: Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 1:34 AM Subject: [EE]: Video snap shot > I need to take a snap shot of a production line once or twice a sec. > (video inspection). > -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
