supported video capture cards:
CORTEX-I Frame Grabber (monochrome, though I think the card is capiable
of color if the color lookup table was programed
differently)
Video Spigot (*help* someone fill in the details)
Matrox Comet/Marvel II (these are excellent boards simular to the Jazz
Jakarta
in features. Since Matrox only licenses their
specs to
these boards, you will need to get a commerical
software (X Inside Inc has a commerical X for
Matrox
boards).
related, but not for conferencing:
OmniMedia Talisman (MPEG viewer)
Cards people are interested in writing drivers:
Jazz Jakarta (Amancio Hasty has expressed interested in
writting a driver. I believe this is also a video
card. I also believe this is a MPEG board. This
board should be excellent for "live" video
viewing).
Matrox Meteor (Jim Lowe and I are interested in writting the
Matrox
Meteor drivers. This driver offer 16/24 bit
packed RGB
and 4-2-2 planar YUV output for conferencing tools
suchas nv/ivs. Right now I am trying to get a
better
understanding of the PCI bus).
