Video Capture Card or device

[KB9VGD]

Greetings;

What is being used as the video capture/input card or device for streaming onto the web site? Right now I'm using just a standard web cam but would like to make use of some of the cameras that I've been collecting. I'm using Windows XP SP2 as the operating system in a Dell computer.

Thanks for any information!

Hi Gary - KB9VGD,

I just wrote an article for the OCARC club newsletter that describes how DATV repeaters in England and Germany do streaming over the internet to a distant web server over the internet.

Take a look at
TechTalk80 - Comparing DATV Repeater Designs - Part 2

It can be found on the OCARC web site at

Hope this helps you....de Ken W6HHC

Hi Gary,

Do a search on eBay for "usb video capture" they sell for around £10

Cheers,
Chris

I have been experimenting with an Easy Capture USB capture device from Ebay. The pictures work but the sound is a problem and is best connected direct to the computer. Another way is to fit a firewire card to the PC and use a camcorder with firewire
