My apologies to those not interested in this, but this is the most
knowledgable area I know and it is relevant to webcams on Linux.
The neighbour has given me a broken video camera, which I would like
to connect to my webcam. Hopefully giving an auto-iris function.
The tape motor is broken - is this a lost cause?
I'm thinking the CCD image is actually written to tape, then read by a
separate head for viewing on the TV. If it is any clue, I can not see
anything through the viewfinder.
The video to TV connection is a video signal, not a TV channel -
correct assumption?
I can not pick it up on any of the TV channels and only get a black
signal on the camera socket (black is better than blue, which means no
signal).
Can I use an exabyte tape in the drive?
Shrug - it is the right size.
Thanks Folks.
