[AG-TECH] USB / firewire capture devices

[Joseph Stone]

Does anyone have any experience with using firewire / USB video capture
devices (NTSC/PAL connectors-signals).

This would be used with a laptop PIG that needs to have the quality and
capability of PTZ cameras that use optical zoom instead of digital zoom, a
feature not found (as far as I know) on web cameras (direct USB / firewire).
The PTZ camera would send its NTSC signal into the external box.

Thanks in advance,
Joe
