Module used for grabbing images from a video source using QuickTime such as iSight or a DV camera with FireWire. The module only works with OS X. The image is scaled to the indicated size regardless of the camera resolution. The module operates in asynchronous mode, which means that the image retreived is the previous one. Ikaros continues to run while the next image is transferred from the camera and the module gets it at the next tick. This can appear confusing when Ikaros is run from the viewer.

It should be possible to run the module also in synchronous mode, where the module would wait for each new frame before continuing. It is not always possible to open the camera again when Ikaros has not exited normally. This can usually be fixed by dicsonnecting the camera and connecting it again or by waiting a minute or two. 2004 Christian Balkenius christian.balkenius@lucs.lu.se Lund University Cognitive Science http://www.lucs.lu.se/Christian.Balkenius InputVideoQT.h InputVideoQT.cc InputVideoQT.ikc
