Here's what a recent customer (February, 2001) had to say (unsolicited customer email) after receiving our CamMotionPTB system:
Thank you for the assistance on the sony video 8 connection for zoom and
focus. As it turned out I only needed the tip and sleeve connection. I
completed the installation in 2 hrs. I have only seen one other installation
manual that was this accurate and clear (Intel Motherboard 815EEA). Tested
the server and client software on my local machine. Every thing works fine.
You have a good product! I am running window NT 4.0 so installing something
new is sometimes problematic. This was not the case. Now the fun begins with
the remote user interface. Thanks again!
Thank you for visiting the Videobotics CamMotionPTB Page.
Come back soon ...
