VCR's and TAACS, etc.

[Jeffrey C. Kantor]

We're looking for information on how to grab images from a VCR under
control from a Sun 4/150 TAAC workstation.  An ideal solution would be a
single frame-grabbing board that also controls the frame advance on the
VCR.  The purpose of this arrangement to automate the collection of data
from a long series of video images.

Has anyone attempted this before?

Does anyone know of possible combinations of VCR's and frame-grabbers that
can accomplish these functions?

Please note that our Sun4 configuration has only one open slot, that's the
reason for the single board constraint.
