I am using a BS2p24 in a project where a ball's position needs to
determined and its trajectory predicted. We are receiving a video
signal indicating the white ball on a black background. I receive
three signals.
1) shows the beginning and end of the video frame
2) shows the beginning and end of each line of video
3) shows the location of the ball with reference to a specific
line of video

How can I use this information to develop a program indicating the
ball's location and project its trajectory using the BS2p24?

I thought I could use pollin or serin and the rctime commands but am
unsure of how to do this. I also have an LTC1298 12 bit Analog
Digital converter.

Does anyone have any ideas?

    I've been working on sth similar but in a complete different system...You
    should be able to determine the ball's location by finding out what are the
    first and last lines of video where the ball appears. Calculate the average
    and I you have the center.

    Marcelo.
