Composite Video to USB adapters...

[ASharma]

We want to use IMAQ to analyze images captured by a microscope.  The microscope generates the images as Composite Video.  We want to send the images to a laptop using a Composite Video to USB converter/adapter.  The problem is there are SEVERAL Composite to USB adapters out there.  Which one should we use?  In other words, which one has a driver which provides the easiest API to call from LabVIEW?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hello,

You would be looking at using the 'IMAQ for USB' driver if you plan to use a Composite to USB video adapter. I would recommend taking a look at the following webpage to get an idea of what types of cameras are supported by this driver: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/89E33B77CFE244E986256F8E004E0F13?OpenDocument. 

I hope this helps.
