Dear netters,

currently we're looking for framegrabbers with compression for use
within Sun workstations (either VME or SBus). We've already gained
experience with PARALLAX XV-VIO-S boards, which show up with a quite
good performance but till today the only windowing system supported 
is OpenWindows. Another disadvantage is, that there is no low level
programming interface and some of the libs are buggy.

Has anyone gained experiences with the IMS-100x product line ?
How good is the performance of the JPEG compressor ? Has anyone
used these boards in a SPARCStation 10 ? Is there planning for 
other compression schemes to be implemented on daughter boards ?
How good is the performance of the 24-bit X-Server ? Does it effect
working, when two or more video windows are open on the screen ?
Is it possible to view two video windows from two different video
inputs on the screen ?

Any hints welcome,

	Frank Ruge
