Hi Netters,
I would like to get some feedback from anyone who is knowledgeable of
generating screen-captured video images.
What is the minimal requirements needed? A screen capture card &
a video monitor? could you use a VCR camera?
Our department has recently purchased a high end Polaroid slide maker which
transfer computer graphic images to 35mm slide film at up to 4,000 lines
resolution/inch. It's very nice for generating graphs, graphics, text
slides for talks, symposia, lectures, etc.
What would be even nicer would be to capture graphic images of, say an
SDS-PAGE or DNA gel, bring it into something like Freelance, overlay text,
then generate a slide. I know this can be done with a scanner, but the
video capability would allow you to capture 3-dimensional objects directly
without the need for making photos, cut & pasting them, add text, and
then re-photograph.
I know there are several companies (Fotodyne, Stratagene, etc) that have
gel documentation/computer densitiometry systems like this, but we don't
want the fancy software - just the basic point & capture capability to
generate a graphic file (TIFF?) to import into a graphics software
program for addition of text, etc.
I'm sure there are others who would be interested in information of such.
Thanks in advance,
