Which camera functions are supported by the framegrabber board?
With a few exceptions, all camera functions and modes are “supportable”. However, for most cameras, configuration files for only a subset of “standard” modes is provided. Programmers have complete access to all of the camera control commands and mode control registers and configuration file parameters, so modes and functions other than those provided in the standard package can be accessed. The GUI applications (pdvshow, dv30) only provide controls for a subset of most cameras’ functions. Exposure, gain and black level controls are provided and work for most cameras that have that functionality. In general however, programmers have complete access to all of the camera control commands and mode lines. Users can also edit or create new configuration files to initialized the board for different camera sizes and modes.
