Hmm, either have a chat to our friends at Xi, as AccelX does native 24bpp on the MGA-220 (requires patch to their setup program, be aware), or perhaps pester Matrox directly for hardware data. I'm kinda surprised that the Bt848 doesn't have a programmable output format though; how do you do "live" video into a palette-mapped or packed (eg 5-6-6/5-5-6) buffer? > Amancio -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
