Hardware Requirements
This driver set should work with all versions of MS Windows from 98 SE
through
XP. Beyond that, there are no hard minimums other than a 1394 host
controller
(preferably OHCI-compliant) and a compliant camera. However, the things
that you can
do with the data from these cameras will be limited by how much RAM you
have
and how fast your processer is, so more of both will be better. Don't
expect
useful results on anything less than a Pentium II 233 with 64 MB of RAM.
Compliant Cameras
This driver set was written to comply with the IIDC 1394 Digital Camera
Specification (version 1.30) as published by the 1394 Trade Association. Any camera
that explicitly claims
compliance with this or any earlier version of this specification
should work with this driver set.
A Note About DV Cameras
There are many consumer (and professional) digital camcorders available
that
use the 1394 bus to transfer data to a computer but are not in and of
themselves
compliant with the 1394 Digital Camera Specification. These cameras,
widely
classified as DV cameras, will not work with this driver set.
They
comprise a completely different class of 1394 peripheral under a
different
specification. The class should warn you on the call to InitCamera
if it believes you are trying to control one of there cameras.
