Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Video Capture Devices

[Stephen L Hulme]

Hi Kurtis

 

The Pollin USB-R1 requires no additional software drivers, as decribed in the very much outdated wiki page, since the release of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

I works out of the box now.

 

The Easycap DC60+ (with empia chip) works well and is a lot cheaper but, not as compact as the Pollin unit.

 

Regards

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to try to implement the live video feed feature as part of the GCS screen, and would like to know what video capture devices are currently being used succesfully.

 

The wiki recommends the AVerMedia DVD EZMaker USB Gold: http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/product/productdetail.aspx?id=188&tab=APDriver

(via http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Video)

 

I suspect this hasn't been updated in a while, so I was wondering if there are any other frame grabbers or video capture devices that are recommended.

 

Thanks!
