45 is a driver for the IDEC Supervision/16, an image capture board
46 that plugs into a 16-bit ISA bus.
47 The IDEC Supervision/16 digitizes an NTSC television signal, storing
48 a 512 x 480-pixel, 8-bit grayscale image in its 256kB dynamic RAM array
49 every 1/30th of a second.
50 The host reads frames from the DRAM using 122881 16-bit I/O reads.
51 Reading frames from the Supervision/16 is quite slow:
52 after the host reads a 16-bit word from the DRAM, the Supervision/16
53 state machine takes approximately 0.5 microseconds to get ready
55 Theoretically, a frame rate of approximately 10 frames per second
58 achieves a frame rate of approximately 6 frames per second.
