Deployment

To use Video Capture SDK .Net on a PC without SDK installed, you must deploy SDK components. For the AnyCPU app, you should deploy both x86 and x64 redists.

NuGet redist packages (file copying, no admin rights required)

Add required packages to your application project. After the project is built, your app folder will have redist package files.

  • SDK redist base package (always required) - x86 or x64
  • Video Capture SDK redist package (always required) - x86 or x64
  • FFMPEG package (file output/network streaming using FFMPEG.exe) - x86 or x64
  • MP4 output package - x86 or x64
  • VLC source package (for file / IP camera source) - x86 or x64
  • WebM output package - x86
  • XIPH formats (Ogg, Vorbis, FLAC) output/source - x86 or x64
  • LAV filters - x86 or x64
  • Virtual Camera redist - x86 or x64. To see a camera in external applications, you've to register camera files as described in the Manual installation section (with admin rights).

Automatic (silent) installers (admin rights required)

  • Base package (always required) - x86 or x64
  • Install .Net assemblies to GAC or use them in a local folder
  • FFMPEG package (file output/network streaming using FFMPEG.exe) - x86 or x64
  • MP4 output package - x86 or x64
  • VLC source package (for file / IP camera source) - x86 or x64
  • WebM output package - x86
  • XIPH formats (Ogg, Vorbis, FLAC) output/source - x86 or x64
  • LAV filters - x86 or x64

To uninstall the package, call the "exe" with admin rights with the following parameters: "/x //".

  1. Install VC++ 2022 (v143) runtime (x86 and/or x64 versions) and OpenMP runtime DLLs using exe redist or MSM modules
  2. Copy VisioForge_MFP/VisioForge_MFPX (or x64 versions) DLLs from Redist\Filters to the app folder
  3. Copy .Net assemblies to the app folder or install them to the GAC
  4. Copy SDK DirectShow filters to the app folder or optional redist folder (set CustomRedist_Path property to this folder).
  5. Set the CustomRedist_Enabled property to true in the Window Load event
  6. LAV filters have the same name for the x64 and x86 versions. Please use one of them or use independent redist folders for x86 and x64 versions
  7. Add the folder with filters to the system environment variable PATH if your application exe file in another folder
