still DC camera ( like Unibrain camera ) give uncompressed signal,
so they have very low latency...
these cameras are supported generally on Mac OSX
through quicktime ( with pix_video or pdp_ieee1394
that uses quicktime too ).
on linux, cameras are supported by different APIs
and thus different objects
( pdp_ieee1394, pdp_v4l, pdp_v4l2 or pdp_dc1394 )
depending on your type of cameras....
Hi Yves and list,
I didn't know anything about pdp_dc1394. I'm on ubuntu lucid (10.4) and pd-extended 0.42 and the object doesn't exist. Should I compile pdp in order to get this object?
When I worked with IIDC camera on linux and pd (a unibrain one) I used coriander to get it as a standard v4l device (by using vloopback module), and it worked like a charm! But maybe I should try pdp_dc1394 (if I found it!)
cheers
