Controlling IMAQ camera capture via DAQmx operation
Dear all,
I am working with a PCIe-1427 board connected via link to a camera (SUI Goodrich) and am also using a PCI-6731 board to which I have attached an M-series SCC-68 connector block.
I have been successful in writing code for controlling .avi capture from the camera and writing separate code to control the switching of an optical switch connected to the SCC-68.
The two lines of the optical switch relay differing information and I wish to alternately introduce this information to the camera for analysis. Ideally I wish to trigger the acquisition of the camera capture with the optical switching such that each frame contains information of a single channel only but I have been unsuccessful as yet in the integration of the counter DAQmx operation with the IMAQ camera code.
Is this possible? I see from 1 previous post that through the use of an RTSI cable I can connect the two devices together (or alternately use the DAQmx to output a trigger on the digital lines). Can anyone suggest information or an example on how to route signals from DAQmx via RTSI to IMAQ? Also is there anything that I should be looking out for with regards the pulse generation to the switch which allows the signals to be passed via RTSI?
I find that by running my camera and counter code in the same vi both will work (obviously not in sync) - if I connect the RTSI and select camera settings to accept RTSI triggers, should this be a simple solution?
I would greatly appreciate any insights you would have; my time is running out very quickly and is really distressing.
Kindest regards and thanks,
Miika
Hi sachsm,
Thanks for your reply.
I am unsure what you refer to by 'routed to PXI Trig0' - can you please elaborate. I have my RTSI cable configures in MAX and I am using IMAQ Configure Trigger3.vi with the trigger set to 2 so that when the assertion edge of a trigger is received, the buffer list is acquired.
Please see my code below. Should I adjust my trigger settings in MAX? It's currently set to internal.
Kind regards,
Miika

Firewire device control with analogue capture?
Please please help.
I am trying to capture HDV footage (shot on a JVC HD251) in SD via our KONA LH.
It seems farily easy to get the KONA to downcovert but i don't currently have any device control so therrefore have no timecode.
On the AJA website this article seems to suggest that it is possible to have device control over firewire whilst capturing via the KONA.
http://www.aja.com/html/supportkonaLHedoc.html and navigate to the WHITEPAPER: HDV Workflow
Any help would be more than very welcome!
Thanks in advance
Mikesadly we are currently using our JVC HD251E camera which does not have RS422 as it is not a deck.
it is the device control via firewire that is hinted upon in the whitepaper from the link at the top of this post that i am most interested in as it would be really useful if it is in fact possible.
We don't intend on using our cameras as a decks for much longer and are looking at the possibilites of purchasing the BR-HD50 which has RS422 which will be ideal.
Even with this we will still be using our Kona to downconvert...unless the JVC deck can downconvert via the firewire...which i guess i will only find out when trying it!
Thanks for the suggestion all the same...but please please someone tell me if this is indeed possible. I don' tunderstand why AJA would hint at it if it is not possible.

Camera Raw (via Bridge) starts to malfunction. Help!
Windows XP Media Centre.
PS CS3.
This is not the first time this has happened to me.
I am editing and saving images in Camera Raw via Bridge and suddenly, I cannot activate the Save Image command. The entire Camera Raw window just greys out and/or the Taskbar pops up in front of the Save Image button.
It's as if the Taskbar is invisibly blocking the Save Image button and appears when I try to use it.
Previously, I've had to use Control/Alt/Delete to close Camera Raw (the Cancel and Done buttons don't work either.
Another weird thing.....if I click on the Heal Tool, it will only appear on the image *above* the highest previous healing mark. If I drag the + tool symbol in amongst previous heal marks, it reverts to the mouse cursor! Bizzare!
Anyone else had this problem?
Any ideas?Sorted.
Though I didn't touch it, the Toggle to Full Screen Mode had been activated.
This, for some reason, prevents the bottom half of the Camera Screen from working.

Updated : No question, just example web cam capture code
Hi,
I posted this example a while back, but it had some cosmetic bugs in it.
Here's an updated version.
Quick Start
1. Install JMF 2.1.1e (performance pack version)
( see imports list in source code if you really want to run it using the older version 2.1.1c )
2. You have to set the JMF_HOME or JMFHOME environment variable. Can't remember which one.
"Nearly sure" it's JMF_HOME.
3. Connect your camera
4. run jmfinit ( may need to do a few times until it detects your camera )
When it does, you're in business, and you can try to run the code
5. Run java -cp .;%JMF_HOME%\lib\jmf.jar JWebCam
known issue
Under Java 1.5 / 5 - When capturing a frame, and then resizing that snapshots JFrame, the image did not always scale up and display.
That does work under Java 1.3.1_06 .
Tested on Win98 2nd edition, Java 1.3.1_06, and Creative Web Cam Pro.
Legal stuff in plain english : This code is available for use by everyone, personal or commercial, no need to mention me in licenses or anything. It's just a demo I knocked up for myself. So I am under no obligation to support this. Use it at your own risk.... that implies you can't blame or sue me for anything that goes wrong.
If you like the code, I'd be happy to hear whereabouts you are in the world :-)
Also note : this is the limits of my JMF experience at present.
If you've a separate question, post it to a new topic!
regards,
Owen ( Dublin, Ireland )

No Question, just example web cam capture code
Hi,
Since loads of people ask for an example of capturing pics from a web cam, here's one that captures pics, lets you take snapshots, which it displays in another frame. When you shut down the frame it asks if you want to save it to a JPEG.
I'm mainly posting this to spite Eka_Kupkova, who only visits this forum to shamelessly advertise a commercial Twain based package in every single posting on this forum which mentions web cams.
Notes : ( Could be more, read the install docs for JMF )
1. you must download the "performance" version of jmf to capture video.
2. I "think" you need to setup the JMF_HOME environment variable
3. Run the jmfinit program to detect your camera and register it.
I had to run it a couple of times before it worked.
4. I had 2 icons for my toolbar, BtnFormat.jpg and BtnCapture.jpg.
They were just 16 x 16 pixel bitmaps, you can make them up yourself.
5. I assume you've got the webcam working and the driver installed already.
Ps. if you find this useful, then reply back with where you are in the world. I'm in Dublin, Ireland.
cheers,
Owen

I tried and tested this last night, and it runs grand using Ver 2.1.1e.
Tested under Windows 98, using an old Creative GO Camera.
Haven't tried it under Linux, but suspect you'd have to at least change an references to "vfw" to "v4l".
You'll need jmf.jar in your classpath to run it too.

Dear Labview programmers,
I am trying to acquire images on a SBC running winCE6.0 by using the: Camera capture.vi.
I use an AMR9 SBC with a camera. It does have an application to open it and to save images but I can't figure out how to use the mentioned .vi to do the same thing.
There is any example around about how to use the "camera capture.vi" on winCe?
I use labview 2009 for PDA.
Thank you very much,
AndreiAndrei,
The device is missing one or more required files.
LabVIEW assumes that the device supports (at a minimum) the Windows CE Standard SDK. In particular, LabVIEW references the following system DLLs:
AYGSHELL.dll
commctrl.dll
commdlg.dll
COREDLL.dll
ole32.dll
WINSOCK.dll
WS2.dll
If one of the above files is missing, you will likely get an error similar to the following:
Can't find 'APP_NAME' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.
In this case, APP_NAME represents the actual name of the LabVIEW executable. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as looking for the above files using a file browser (e.g. via ActiveSync) because many system files are hidden, even if the folder view is configured to show system files. To determine which one(s) are missing, use the attached utility, "pget.exe" to do the following:
Save the attached utility, "pget.exe" to a temporary directory.
Connect your device to ActiveSync prior to running pget.
Open a command windows and navigate to the directory that contains pget.
Enter the following command: "pget \Windows\aygshell.dll c:\temp\aygshell.dll"
If the file exists, pget displays "Unable to open Windows CE file." or "Error !!! Reading Windows CE file". If it does not exist, pget displays "Windows CE file does not exist."
Repeat step 4 for each of the files listed above to determine which component(s) are missing.
Except for commdlg.dll as explained below, if the PDA is missing any of the SDK DLLs, the PDA is not compatible with LabVIEW PDA.
If commdlg.dll is the only missing file, there is a somewhat drastic workaround that may solve the problem. This is not generally recommended, so please contact the LabVIEW PDA PSE for permission before suggesting the following workaround. This will effectively remove references to commdlg.dll in the LabVIEW application. This DLL is used by graphs and charts to set plot colors, so these may not function properly after the change.
Create a VI with no graphs/charts.
Make a backup copy of the following files in <LabVIEW Directory>\PDA\Utilities\ and then edit the originals by deleting any occurences of "commdlg.lib":
BuildPocketPC40ARM.bat
BuildPocketPC40x86.bat
BuildPocketPCARM2003.bat
BuildPocketPCARM2005.bat
Make a backup copy of <LabVIEW Directory>\PDA\Utilities\LVPocketPCProject\Src\lvCEPDAMain.c and then replace it with the attached file of the same name.
At this point, PDA applications built from LabVIEW will no longer reference commdlg.dll.

Capturing Via Firewire & Decklink
If I am capturing footage from my camera into fcp via firewire and I choose a capture preset from my Black Magic Decklink card, am I capturing via the card? Or do I have to be plugged in directly to the card using the SDI? I realize that the card lets you capture in some ways via the firewire but does that go for all of them? (10 bit uncompressed?? etc..)
The sales guy at the Cow said that they ship to your location and have had few issues.
A downloadable version is being worked on, but a few details still need to be ironed out....technical details like ensuring single downloads only and stuff like that.

Capturing via component input: a question
Stupid question of the week: if I capture HDV footage via component input, will it take up more disk space than capturing via firewire? The reason I ask is because component is technically "uncompressed"... if it's HDV footage, wouldn't that suddenly take up more hard drive space?
The reason I ask: I'm getting the JVC HDV deck and it can only play back 1080i through component output. Therefore I need to know the best way to handle 1080i when I use it (my main camera shoots 720p).
Can anyone recommend an affordable, quality component input solution?Why don't you capture the 720p HDV from the JVC deck ?
If its 720p60, it will convert onto a 1080i60 timeline reasonably well, although you will need to render it - it won't be realtime.
I think 1080i60 and 720p60 will mix quite nicely on a 1080i60 timeline.
You cannot capture the 1080i60 component to HDV 1080i60 - no deck will do an 'analogue in' for you, and to be honest there would be generation and quality issues in doing so.
The other suggestion made in this thread, about going to DVC Pro HD is also one worth investigating, but you already have everything you need to capture and create what you want (if I've understood your post correctly) -

Network camera access via airport extreme ie: i need to assign a port and a
please help me i have a cabin in the mountains that is off the grid... and i use solar power... i have my internet access via wifi and an antenna... it goes to a d-link router in my electric room then from there via a cat 5 cable to a apple airport extreme base station... and i would like to plug the camera into the base station via a cat 5 cable....
i am trying to set up a network camera to via a airport extreme base station.... the tech support on the camera end (airlink 101 skyIP cam500 model aicn500) said to enable port 80 and to assign a IP address (which i have)... apple support has been unable to help me after almost 1 hour with tech support.... here is what the camera tech support page suggests....
You will now need to forward the Second HTTP Port through your router to the IP address of the camera. If you have an AirLink101 router, we have instructions in our knowledge base for port forwarding. If you have a router from another company, you will need to contact them for instructions on port forwarding.
When accessing the camera from a remote location you will need to open a browser and type in the internet IP address of your network (not the ip address of the camera) and the port into a web browser. The address and port will need to be typed in like this:
http://x.x.x.x:port
x.x.x.x = Internet IP address
port = Second HTTP Port
Here is an example of what it would look like: http://123.123.123.123:81
can anyone please help me?i can not thank you enough for taking the time time to help me!!! i really appreciate it.... i have done the set up with the d link router and am now trying to access the camera from the web.... but i am having trouble logging in and finding it? i am not sure what ip address to enter into my web browser? i think that i need to add the ip addresss folllowed by a forward slash and then the port # 80.... but what ip address should i add? in the device info part of the d link router i have found a number of ip address's... but none of them seem to work? what am i doing wrong? or not doing? my apple base station is set up in the bridge mode with a password to protect it...
thanks again...

How can i send videoes which are not in camera roll via whatss app to others ?
hi,
I am going to know that how can i transfer video which are not in camera roll via whatss app to others ?
thnaks in advanced.Where are the videos?
If WhatsApp supports sending videos from the Camera Roll only and that is your only option, that is it.
Contact WhatsApp. They have a website. -
Hi there,
We have a Flash application doing camera capture and streaming it over RTMP to an AMS. Things work brilliantly for most USB webcams, however as soon as our users use a built-in cheap webcam (say Lenovo) the FPS drops to 7-8fps.
We try to rule out as many external factors as possible and ended up with a simple loopback test. With our USB camera we can get 30fps loopback without any problem. But when switching to the built-in camera it drops to 7fps.
So then we try a simple self view (so no server side and no network traffic) with basically the following code:
_camera = Camera.getCamera();
_camera.setQuality(90000, 0); // prefer fps over quality
_camera.setMode(640, 480, 39, false); // favorArea=false to prefer fps here too
var localCame:Video = new Video();
localCam.attachCamera(_camera);
videoDisplay.addChild(localCam);
Here again the USB cam gets us a 30fps while the built-in gives us 13pfs (a little bit better...).
So it looks this is something related to the client side, it happens on both Windows and OSX (OSX built-in camera gives us a little better fps though ~20fps).
We tried different capture tools and they were all able to give us a 30fps with all cameras.
We also tried to change capture resolutions to make sure we were using a resolution natively supported by the camera but same same...
Has anyone experienced the same issue before?
Thanks in advance,

Transfer pics **DIRECTLY** from Canon camera(SDcard) via**WIRE** to iPhone3G?
Is there a way to transfer pics **DIRECTLY** ie, **NO COMPUTER** from Canon camera(SDcard) via **WIRE**ie., **NO WiFi** to iPhone3G?
Do you all understand my question?
Please don't respond that I need a computer to do that...I know this.
What I want is a "device" like a card reader, that will plug **DIRECTLY** into an iPhone...Thanks.
Ness
<Personal Information Edited by Host>The only way I could think of to do this would be by using the camera connection kit. One of the 2 pieces is a dock-USB connector so your could plug the camera directly into it, the other piece is a card reader that plugs into the dock connector. It's designed for the iPad. I haven't heard of anyone trying to use it on an iPhone. I'm sure someone has tried, but I have no idea what the result would have been.

Can I control the system output via Logic Pro?
I know how to record system output in Logic Pro (CH 13&14), but in order to do that, the tracks in Logic Pro must be muted to avoid feedback.
What I'm wondering is if I can control overall system output via a track/tracks in Logic Pro. I've got a Plextor PVR set up so that I can watch tv on my Mac, but when I connect my digital cable box to it the volume is down at around a faint -24 dB. I'd like to be able to boost the gain with Logic.
Thanks in advance for any help!Never mind. I found a cool app called Audio Hijack Pro that works perfectly for this.

IMovieHD controls Sony camera, but no video/audio on Mac!
Yup! I can Play, FFW, RWD the tape on my camera by clicking on the control buttons within the iMovie HD interface, the camera will show the video and play audio, but the monitor will remain blue on my Mac. Clicking on Import does absolutely nothing. If later I go to check the Media folder inside the 'My Great Movie' package, it will contain 243 (yes, always 243) Zero KB .dv files.
I installed iMovie HD on my B/W G3 using Pacifist, and was able to import my tapes onto the hard disk. So, it's not the camera or cable. Is it my Powerbook, or is it the iMovie HD installation on it that is at fault? And, more importantly, how do I go about fixing it?
The G3 is running 10.4.2.
Many thanks, people.Hi Alex:
If you still do not have this fixed-do the following:
First-if your camera can control the camera but not see the video,
*Open Garageband
*Play a note or two
*Close Garageband
*Open iMovie
The camera will work now-REALLY!! (It resets your Audio-Midi)
If not, look here:
