Integrating Third-Party Software with Video Capture SDK
#
Overview
The Video Capture SDK .NET provides robust capabilities for integrating with various third-party software applications. This integration expands the functionality of your applications and allows for greater flexibility in video processing workflows.
#
How Integration Works
The SDK uses Virtual Camera SDK as a bridge between our Video Capture SDK and third-party applications. This bridge creates a virtual camera device that can be detected and used by any DirectShow-compatible application in your development environment.
#
Video Bridge
The virtual camera technology allows captured video streams to be seamlessly passed to external applications without quality loss or significant performance impact.
#
Audio Bridge
In addition to video, an audio bridge is also provided, enabling complete audio-visual integration with external software.
#
Compatible Applications
The virtual camera works with numerous DirectShow-compatible applications, including:
- OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)
- FFMPEG
- VLC Media Player
- Zoom, Teams, and other conferencing software
- Custom DirectShow applications
