- The VideoLive card uses the X video extension to do it's work. Once you have
- the appropriate server (which is required for the HP canned software), you can
- make X Video extension calls to the board. I have done this in our image
- processing product. The only thing is that the card requires a slightly
- different strategy than the original video extension in R5 (you need to
- XvFreezeVideo before getting the frame, rather than StopVideo).
