   Hello, my name is Roberto Cipriani and I'm working in the Politecnico of Milan, on a vision sistem. I'm using a frame-grabber fromImaging Technology named PC-COMP and a camera from Sony: XC-999P. We are working under linux, so I got the drivers for the PC-COMP at www.gom.com.There is a base driver (0.5.1) and some patches for using the cmp-std modules.I'm trying to use the patched driver but the image returned by the test program is strange and appears like to be out of sinc. If someone can help me, I'll be very pleased, I'm quite in a hurry and I don't know what to do.

Thanks, Roberto Cipriani

Ciao Roberto!!

The amcmp patch was developed for use with the AM-STD board. I'm not quite sure of the differences between the AM-STD and
the PC-COMP board. Anyway my first guess would be to check what format the Sony XC-999P uses, I mean NTSC or PAL.
The AM-STD patch expects by default an NTSC signal. To set things up to receive a PAL signal you will have to initialize the
device using the GIOC_GE_SET_CAMCNF ioctl call. Take a look to the AM-STD Hardware reference manual for standard format
values to the elements of the cmp_cam_t structure in icpciExt.h.
