Here's a lowball estimate of your memory needs. Let's assume that your TV
system is generating images that are digitized to 640x480, since you didn't
specify. Also, I'll assume that these are b/w images (8 bits), so each
image would be about 300KBytes. You would need less than 1 Gigabyte of
memory to hold the entire stack at once, so if you have a recent computer,
you might be able to handle the whole thing. If not, you can use the
virtual stack system to store most of the data on a hard drive, and add the
images as needed. Processing may be slow, but I agree with Rob that it is
feasible. It also depends on what you want to do with the data.
If my assumptions are incorrect, you'd have to modify the estimate.
