RE: Re: About to embark on a Geovision setup, pointers ?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All software updates are FOC :) :) :)

And they are VERY busy working on new features - I've never known such a
responsive company before - their support is very helpful too :)

You do need a newer card or a dongle to run v7 though - This should be FOC
though I think?

Tracking looks good although I've not got my P+T heads working yet - got
some old ones (huge) but not had a chance to test them out yet and see if
Geovision supports them.

Can't think of any particular 'gotchas' - the card can be a little
temperamental with some graphics cards/drivers. Doesn't like running over a
remote connection (e.g. Remote desktop/Funk proxy/PC Anywhere) much -
complains of overlay problems. I do have the DSP card though, so that might
complicate issues a bit. The DSP card is good - real time video display on
the Geovision PC and through the composite connector.

Paul.
