Purpose
=======
This package was developed to make use of the PC frame grabber card
"Pro MovieStudio" (PMS) by MediaVision under Linux.
Main features of the programs
================================
* captures frames of the "Pro MovieStudio" frame grabber card
* runs under X-Window in a normal window with various setting options
* online view or capturing of single frames
* arbitrarily resizing of view window (via window manager) (up to ~ 500x500)
* up to 256 (or 65536 on some servers) colors on display
* frame grabbing in rgb555/565-mode (32768 or 65536 colors)
* computing of optimal color palettes from a given image
* popup menu for all option settings of the PMS-card
* popup menu for viewing and editing the registers (only for experiments)
* simple image analyzing tools (with mouse cursor in view window)
* save and load functions for ximages, captures and palettes
* comes together with a generally useful X-window package
* a standalone program for displaying saved images that runs without PMS-card
on any computer with X-window
New features since version 1.0
==============================
- - interrupt driver included (not needed)
- - fast shared memmory extension enables quite high frame rates
(if XServer has it installed), only with 16bpp
- - 16 bpp True-Color-mode (if your XServer enables it)
- - standard ppm formatted image output (for use with xv eg.)
- - compiles with gcc2.6.3
