Video Capture SDK .Net

v15.6
.Net-based SDK that integrates video capturing and processing functions into software. Implements video and audio playback and capture from a broad range of sources, including TV tuners, USB webcams, DV/HDV camcorders, PCI capture cards, and IP cameras. SDK supports AVI, WMV, DV, MPEG-1/2, MP4, FLV, and WebM output formats.

SDK STRUCTURE

SDK supports more than 10 different video and audio inputs, and more than 20 output formats.

VIDEO CAPTURE PIPELINE

Video and audio streams can be processed using various effects during preview or capture. After processing, streams will be split and go to encoders and audio/video renderers.

OUTPUT FORMATS

SDK supports all popular video, audio, and image formats and codecs, including MP4, WebM, WMV, MP3, AAC, JPEG, GIF, and PNG.

VIDEO PROCESSING

Add text, image, or GIF logo. Change brightness, contrast, saturation, or hue. Perform resize, crop, or rotate. Use chroma-key or one of many other video effects.
