Acessing Camera

Hi,

I have a CCD camera that i will be using for image processing and I'm having problems getting MATLAB to find the camera. it is connected to a 64bit dell desktop by firewire. i downloaded the diver (CMU 1394Camera) and the Demo worked fine i could locate the camera and see a preview. however MATLAB is another story, here is what i did:

>> imaqhwinfo

ans = 

    InstalledAdaptors: {'winvideo'}
        MATLABVersion: '7.11 (R2010b)'
          ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox'
       ToolboxVersion: '4.0 (R2010b)'

>> info = imaqhwinfo('winvideo')

info = 

       AdaptorDllName: 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b\toolbox\imaq\imaqadaptors\win64\mwwinvideoimaq.dll'
    AdaptorDllVersion: '4.0 (R2010b)'
          AdaptorName: 'winvideo'
            DeviceIDs: {1x0 cell}
           DeviceInfo: [1x0 struct]

>> dev_info = imaqhwinfo('winvideo',1)  

??? Error using ==> imaqhwinfo at 138  

There is no device with the specified DEVICEID.

can i get some help.

thanks,

Minh

The CMU DCAM drivers don't currently support 64-bit versions of Windows. What camera are you using?

it is a CCD camera KP-F140F. show here http://www.aegis-elec.com/products/hitachi-KP-F140F.html

the driver is http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~iwan/1394/index.html the driver is new for 64 bit
