What does the NEC ACAT Package for the XG Projector include?

Thanks Oliver for your reply!


I thought that would be the case. So if you don't have the NEC Video Capture Card the camera is useless!


From what I understand, NEC did away with the ACAT system (used on PG Series as well) after the first generation of the XG Series Projectors . They then used the MCAT system (like the Barco) for the second & third generation of the XG Series.


Thanks again for taking the time to reply.


Kindest Regards

Oliver,


I asked the question because I saw one of those NEC TI-324A CCD camera on ebay here in Australia. If you want to have a look goto


www ebay com au and search for item: 3045980449



However without the NEC Video Capture Card it useless for using with ACAT and the PC Control software.


However the Camera does have other uses I guess. See:

I thought I would update this thread with some info I have found for those that are interested.


The PCMCIA Video Capture Card used with the ACAT Software within the NEC PC Control Software is a "Quadrant International - CardCam-VideoIN"


See:

http://www.twintek.nl/cardcam.html


Well that is what I have been lead to believe.



Quadrant International (Malvern, PA) makes the CARDCAM-VIDEOIN A PCMCIA Type II Video Capture card enables notebook computer users to capture still or moving images in full 24-bit color. It's compatible with both Composite or S-Video input devices (CamCorder, VCR, TV Tuner and Laser Disc Player) and Windows Bitmap or Video for Windows.


CardCam has sofware selectable composite and S-video inputs, and can capture from both PAL and NTSC video sources. CardCam can capture at full video resolution (640x480 NTSC w/overscan, 576 lines in PAL mode), and the software supports on-screen preview of live video. Software was available for both Windows & Amiga 600 or 1200 Computers running Workbench 3.0 or better. See:

Anyway if you have a NEC TI-324A CCD camera and happen to come across this PCMCIA Card and want the software so you can use it with the ACAT software within the NEC PC Control Software, you can download it from here:

Put your email address in and they will email you a link to download the software. I've done it and have downloaded the software without any problems.


Here here are the other Quandrant Drivers on their Site if your interested.

Here is some History about Quadrant International


Quadrant International also developed CINEMASTER for ATI. See:

Quadrant International later became Ravisent Technologies, and for a short while Divicore. In January 2002 Ravisent changed it's name to Axeda.
