Hi everyone,
it seems like my post gathered a little more interest. I hope I can help
you with the following information:
- I have never used the ImageJ grabbing features, so I don't know anything
about integration into ImageJ.
- I have used the firewire box via the included driver lib (which can be
accessed via C++). Here you can set different paramters, like frame rate
as well. Works pretty well.
- I have used the firewire box via DirecShow filters. The WDM directly
integrates into DirectShow Video Streaming Sources. Here you can't set
parameters (at least I don't know how), but you can just use it like any
other standard firewire device. DirectShow can be accessed via C++ as
well.
So I might guess, if there are e.g. DirectShow Java Wrappers or Standard
Firewire Stream libs for Java it should be no problem to include the box
in an ImageJ plugin. Maybe somebody else can comment on this one.
