03.12.2001
The latest development is a perfectly revised software extension for the storage of video sequences with different codecs for the wide-spread FALCON Frame Grabber cards family. The library free of charge for all FALCON customers is based on the FALCON driver library and supplies functions for storing and a displaying video sequences. MJPEG codecs from Intel, Microsoft, Pegasus and Lead are supported as well as MPEG4 codec by DivX and Microsoft. Both compression codecs are popular today. MJPEG is used primarily for security engineering, MPEG4 should be preferred for all Streaming applications because of small memory-requirements and high quality of the Images. Executable demo program - SOFTCOMP is included within the delivery of the Falcon frame grabbers. In parts as C/C++ source code. They demonstrate the application of the library and store directly AVI video sequences into the desired files. The FALCON and the selected codec can be parameterized by SOFTCOMP. The dimension of the image area is adjustable up to the full PAL resolution (768 x of 576 pixels). Of course, also the number of stored images per second and the duration of the Frame Grabbing can be adjusted. An image displaying parallel to the hard disk recording is as possible as a preprocessing of the data before image compression.
