#videoscape frame control
9 messages in this thread
I have no problem with the serial port. The problem I am having is with
message and reply ports. The Videoscape manual says when a frame is ready
it sends a message to a port called frame-control. When you are done
recording it you send a message to frame-reply, which you must also create.
I am having trouble initializing and sending these messages.
Creating message ports is not easy, especially if they don't give you
examples. Maybe a call to the publisher would help. —Mike

The manual SHOULD say, if the port "frame-control" exists, then….. if
the ports don't exist, then 'scape 3D won't (shouldn't) use them.
VideoScape won't use the ports if they do not exist. I don't know if folks
remember this, but the message port feature was a direct result of message
on Compuserve! Thanks.

If your controller is serial, you don't have to use message ports. In the
manual there is a description of creating a file for RS232 control by
VideoScape. If you need to use message ports, you will have to use the
Amiga Rom Kernal Manual or a book on Amiga programming (Programmer's Guide
to the Amiga by Rob Peck is excellent). VideoScape 3D will not access the
ports if they are not in existance when VideoScape starts up. Call for more
