Hello,

I want to get a video camera card (and camera) for my linux box
to use with the MBONE tools (ivs, nv etc). Can anyone tell me what 
works with these tools and linux? I know about the Connetix QuickCAM,
but I want something that I can connect up to a video camera.

I've looked arround at most of the Web pages. Most of the stuff
I've found is mainly based arround screen grabbers and the QuickCAM.


Thanks

Barry

 You'd have to check the device support for linux, and then what
 devices the nv package supports.   I'd check a build of nv for
 linux, should be there in the documentation.

 I know the Matrox Meteor PCI card is pretty good, but don't know
 if its got linux support.

 One thing you should be aware of is the requirement for a multicast
 feed, either by being on a network that's linked to the MBONE, or
 by getting someone to feed you with a tunnel.

 The bandwidth you are talking for MBONE is really _quite_ high.
