Hi there,

sounds interesting too for me, what additional driver/interfacing software
is needed to access the video data from ImageJ? Twain?

Do you have full "unattended" control from ImageJ, i.e. can you grab images
without user intervention (not as in the usual Twain scanner "look and
feel"
where a preview window appears, you need to OK one image individually, the
preview  window closes again etcetc.)?

I remember there were some discussions on this problem with video capture
interfaces and it was even suggested to use some kind of "robotic" mouse
plugin to automate that process, what I do not like too much....

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Hi Michael,

I have used the box from The Imaging Source and was quite satisfied with
it.
Seems like they match your requirements.
