I am interested in controlling Cameras and Video Tape machines
by computer using the remote control jack on the video devices.
Has anyone any information on the protocol of the 
"mini-mini stereo plug" remote control jacks using the 
Sony Control L protocol?

Thanks much for any information you might be willing to share!

Capturing a QuickTime movie with "generic" QuickTime compatible movie
recording applications requires a software module called a Video
Digitizer (VDIG).  Currently Truevision is beta testing a VDIG to work
with Apple's MovieRecorder and Adobe's Premiere 2.0, as well as DiVA's
VideoShop. QT assumes that all movie recording is done on a
video-in-a-window card and keeping these applications from putting their
dialogs on the capture screen has been very difficult.

VideoSpigot ships with a specific application to record images and
convert them to a QuickTime compatible format. Recently SuperMac has
started including their own VDIG to support other QT-compatible recording
applications.

Truevision will be shipping a copy of the final VDIG to all registered
customers later in October (or early November, depending). You can e-mail
a postal address to me to be included in that mailing. A reminder - the
software that we will be shipping will only be useful to customers with
either a Truevision NuVista+ or a Truevision NuVista Classic.

YES!  For once.  Received it yesterday...not tested yet.

The IBM multimedia hotline (now, I didn't say "for once" again) knows all

sent me, to the product fulfillment center, 800-845-4263, who will ask you
for (sigh) proof-of-purchase in the form of the Device Driver Installation
page, 92F2730 (this was in one of those slim loose packets with our DVI
board--didn't look significant so had not been filed) or the Action Media
II DTK v 1.0, part number 92F2731.  What you want is called "AVK 1.1 and

Hi,

If your PC has a VGA card with NTSC output, you can record your PowerPoint
presentation directly to videotape.  I have such a vga card, and record
presentations on my editing VHS recorder.  Also if you have a sound board,
you can record your audio at the same time.

Well, the obvious candidates are:

	. Philips (Sony, others) manufacturing & selling a line of CD-I systems
	. Commodore CDTV
	. Tandy's new VIS (Video Information System)

All of these are consumer devices that to use a standard TV as the
display & are based on CD-ROMs (I'm not 100% sure of CDTV, but I think
this is correct).

Personally, I find the VIS to be the most interesting/promising.

Well JR,  just wondering why you think that VIS is the most 
"interesting/promising"?  I have been seeing some traffic on C$ERVE's
M/M group about it yet I haven't seen much of substance.  No press,
no adds,  _no machines_.  How 'bout a synopsis of the machine and
some reasons for your interest?

Just curious.

P.S.  Since I work on CD-I technology,  I am interested in what the 
competition has that we don't.

supermac is saying 50:1

I have got a Sound Blaster 1.5 and I want to record some
songs from a CD player.
The problem is that the SB 1.5 has only an input for
a microphone. If you use tthis input with the line out
of a CD player (or something else) the quality is not good.

The specs of the SB 1.5 input are:

10mV - 100mV, 600 Ohm

and of a normal line out:

-350mV, 30000 Ohm

Now, does anybody know some little electronic circuit diagramm
to convert the line out signal to the microphone specs?
I think, I have seen one in a german journal but I don't
know where.

I use an inexpensive audio mixer panel with good results.  You should be
able to find one at a audio/video store or mailorder.  Mine is an
Ambico audio/video mixer that I also use for mixing audio to my video deck.
The only problem I have had is that computer environments are electrically
pretty noisy, the standard audio cabling would introduce lots of static when
recording with the soundblaster.  I fixed this by making cables from some
75ohm TV coax cable.  End of problem!

Don't expect CD quality sound out of the soundblaster (since it's dynamic
range is limited by being 8 bit and by the sampling rate), however the 
results are still fair to good...  Some of the newer cards (such as the
SoundBlaster16 and the PAS16) should have better dynamic range if your
quality is critical...

Good Luck!
