Hi all,
   I have an interesting question....  I would like to know if there is any
way to digitize video in real-time and do some special effects on the 
images for display as part of a psychedelic lightshow.....

   What I ultimately want to do is use a video camera and show the images
while creating real-time psychedelic special effects such as "trails" and 
"color distortions" on moving objets...

   Is there any way to do this kind of thing on a PC type platform?  Maybe
a high-end 486/33MHz with some video cards?

   I understand that IBM offers a video capture adapter - does this thing
digitize in real-time?

   How would you manipulate the images for these effects?  Are there any 
algorithms for this type of thing or possibly software packages that will
do video special effects like this?

   Any information that anyone could give me on how to do this or who I
could contact would be greatly appreciated....  Thanks in advance, Curt
