Hi - I am not a programmer, but have some knowledge of it - enough to guess at whats possible. Perhaps thats a dangerous thing. I have an application that requires some video processing and am trying to find what language / package would be most appropriate to use so I can find someone to write the application for me. I want to be able to take a video source (user selectable - it may be camera, DVD, wmf etc), pixelate it (to a size determined by user) and reduce each resultant pixel to 8 bit (256 colour). Then I want to send the 8 bit value of each pixel out to an external device on a serial link of some sort (perhaps RS485?? Ethernet??). All this real time at 25fps. Is Processing the way to do it?
