Why do I get merged images in Max/LabVIEW with IEEE 1394 sony XCD-X700 camera

Why do i get merged images i MAX/LabVIEw with a sony XCD-X700 camera ? The top part of the image is different from bottom part. It seens like they are form different frames. When moving a stick in front of the camera, the stick is devided in two. I am using the drivers for NI-IMAQ IEEE 1394.

It sounds like the camera is in interlaced mode and the acquisition is expecting progressive scan. I don't know anything specific about the camera, so I don't know if that could be the case or not.

Having put some time into the problem I think the soultion is to use the occurences given in the IEEE 1394 camera driver software from NI. Using any other capturing modes gives these partly images as from two different time frames.

HGi Rudi,

you are right. The problem is that if you get an image (Get Image function) from the IMAQ driver buffer this operation is not synchronised with the camera. You have to use occurences to synchronise with the camera.
