I recommend that you contact:

			EPIX, Inc.
			381 Lexington Drive
			Buffalo Grove, IL 60089
			U.S.A

			708:465-1818 - Normal Business Hours -6 Hrs GMT
			708:465-1919 - 24 Hr. Fax

and ask them about their new versions of 4MIP and SVIP Software which
work on their Model 10, Model 12 and Silicon Video Image Capture Boards.

If you are interested in trying your hand at developing your own
Digital Signal Processing algorithms, then I suggest that you consider
the new EPIX Model 12 Board with its companion COC40 DSP Board that
can be ordered with one or two TMS320C40 DSP processors that will 
run indenpendently or as co-processors.

We use and sell their products and therefore have no hesitation in
recommending them.
