This looks very promising. Up to 90 frames per second and it seems to be built like other Phillips cameras that have been modded to work with MT.
It uses a CMOS sensor instead of a CCD.
If it’s built like the SPC900NC I won’t be able to remove the IR filtering. I’ll have to install a different lens.
I can get one here on Maui at Walmart for $84. I think I’ll pick one up today and give it a try and post the results.

Here’s a review of the Phillips SPC1300NC:

If you have a Phillips webcam, I’d like to hear about your use of it with MT. Thanks.

Cool!

Keep in mind that the 90fps is misleading. It’s really 30fps interpolated and the same frame is basically sent 3 times. I’m still a fan of the philips cameras though.

Don’t waste your money on it Tinkerman , it’s really 60fps interpolated. Don’t spend 84$ on that piece of crap.

I had a feeling it might be. That’s why I asked for feedback.
Many thanks. I think I’ll put the money to better use. wink
