Problem in Displaying Video Image using CaptureTest in EVAL3730 using WinCE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Hi,

I am trying to display the Composite video image on DM3730 Eval Board using WinCE. But when i run CaptureTest.exe application it gives an message saying No preview available. I have not selected VRFB driver while building. Other test applications runs fine. Kindly suggest if i need to do any other settings

 

 

 

  • Last release of the unified BSP contains some known issues in the camera driver that are currently being addressed. One of them is the Preview PIN of the camera driver that is not implemented. Watch out for future release for improvments in this area.

  • I tried in the command prompt using capture test command with preview enabled and it worked.

    I am able to store the video in SD card and play in other PC. But we want to display the live video from DM3730 in other PC using VLC player. Transfer of video will be done through Ethernet. How to go about for this?

  • You are looking for a way to stream your video capture over the network. The best way to do this in WinCE is to use DirectShow and connect proper "filters" to create a pipeline that captures the video stream, perform any conversion if needed, and stream it over the network using a predefined protocol supported by VLC. The camera driver that comes with the Unified BSP is compliant with Directshow's capture filter, you can easily use it as the source filter. For the rest of the pipeline, I suggest you look around for available filters that may fit your needs. Capturetest is built as a DirectShow pipeline, a look a its source code can help you figure out how to use DirectShow.
