Tim, not at all. But I would like the driver to provide access to the frames, so that application can perform these functions in real time. If the driver is...

The impression I get is that Hristo is thinging that this is handled using the ImageArray property. This get the latest video frame and can be used for...
Hi Tom Hilton, Â The currently proposed draft is heavily influenced by what I know people are using video cameras for. I will be happy to learn more about...
Hi Everyone OK .. rest your thinking caps .. just got an email from the Cynogen helpdesk. It reads: "We have been able to replicate this error and we will ...
Hi Paul, Â I think it is important to define what real time is. I think that 5 frames per second (or getting every 6-th frame of NTSC analogue video) is real...
Hi Hristo, I was thinking of real-time as the time while the video is being acquired, as opposed to after. Your proposal allows processing of all the frames...
I don't know how to answer your question as I am a very new Mallincam user. So I have copied your questions over to the Mallincam users group. I will try and...
Hi Hristo Pavlo Here is one answer from the Mallincam group provided by Andy Glasso "That's right, the camera displays a static buffered image during the...
Hi Hristo, I read through your interface and I have a couple comments from a MallinCam perspective. SupportedExposureRates. On a MallinCam there are fixed...
Another one with this problem. Using the move command from MaximDL to simulate calibration or guiding Progress report. I have just installed the latest daily...
Hi Tom, Â ... This is interesting and this is not how other intergating cameras I have seen work. The gamma for example only takes effect on the next...
Hi Andy, Â Thanks for your comments, they are spot on! Â About the camera state. I am not really sure exactly how this state may be used by a client...
Hi Andy, Â I forgot to reply to your first comment: Â > SupportedExposureRates. On a MallinCam there are fixed exposure rates up to 2.1 seconds in power of...
Sequence Generator Pro (Currently in beta but almost ready for release) does something similar. It doesn't necessarily build a pointing model but every plate...
Hristo, It seems like once you start getting into use cases 1 & 2 where a frame grabber is involved, I'm a bit confused about where the ASCOM driver sits in...
Fault finding is all about eliminating unknowns, until only known things remain or you have found the problem. This unfortunately means that a support engineer...
Hristo, Regarding mixing fixed and variable exposure rates, one idea would be to add a pair of attributes like MinVariableExposure and MaxVariableExposure. ...
Hi Andy, Â The purpose of the ASCOM interface is to allow automated video observations. Automated also means unatended to some extend. So what I think people...
Hi Andy,  I think that this will work but I am not convinced how benefitial it may be. Also in the case where the camera doesn't support any variable...
Hi, I am using the NET telescope simulator to check some code for scope mounts that do not allow setting the pulse guide rates. When I uncheck the Guide Rates...
From what I can see the intent is that the default Guide Rate should be the sidereal rate in degrees per second but there's a bug that rounds it down to 0....
Hristo I wish you would either borrow a Mallincam, of find someone close to you that has one, and go observe with them before defining specifications that will...
Hi Tom,  I have a personal interest in the Mallincam and I am following up more info about the camera with some people I know. I asked Rock to give me...
Hi All, Â I am thinking about what states should be defined for a video camera and I am trying to get my head around the purpose and usage of the current...
Tom, to add to Hristo’s reply, people often get excited about the features of a particular device when discussing ASCOM interfaces. “But if it is designed...
