Are valid: USB + cameras (like most Webcams), Firewire (IEEE 1394) cameras, and analog video + capture boards, including TV Tuners. These are called devices.</p> + <p>The capture functions allows you to:</p> + <ul> + <li>list the available devices</li> + <li>connect to a device</li> + <li>configure the device</li> + <li>retrieve an image</li> + </ul> + <p>You can list the installed devices and once you connect to a specific + device you can control its parameters. Each connected device captures data + frames continuously when in Live state otherwise it stays in standby. You can + connect to more than one device at the same time. </p> + <p>Once connected the user can retrieve frames from the device any time. This + can be done with one function call, or inside a closed loop for several + frames, or inside an idle function to periodically update the screen. The user + is not notified when a new frame is available, but every time the user + retrieve a frame, if successful, it is a new frame, old frames are discarded + when a new frame arrives.</p> + <p>Currently it is implemented only in Microsoft Windows. </p> + + +</body> + +</html> |
