WebCams and Imaq view

I would like to use National image boards (maybe 1422) to acquire images
from webcams. I know interface problems (RS422/LVDS x USB). A converter can
be designed. I also need a matrix to connect more than one web can to a single
board. Do you know something to help me?

Filson. If you're looking to acquire images from a webcam to use with NI Vision, I recommend using an IEEE-1394 camera with our NI-IMAQ for 1394 driver. It will be a lot easier and cheaper than using one of our digital frame grabbers with a USB webcam. Just make sure the 1394 webcam sends uncompressed data. Our driver can't read compressed mpg files, which is why USB webcams don't work and why we currently don't have a driver for them like we do with Firewire.
