Installing DirectShow as a service
Installing without DirectShow service
|
Up to 24 cameras can be used simultaneously in DirectShow. |
Addressing cameras in DirectShow
The cameras are listed in the "Video Capture Device Filter" category in DirectShow. If manual camera registration is used, an entry entitled uEye Capture Device <Camera ID> is always displayed for each device. If automatic registration is used, the entry displays the camera name and serial number in the format <Camera name>_<Serial number>.
|
Changes to the camera list (e.g. newly-connected cameras) are only visible once the DirectShow application has been re-started. This is also the case when using automatic registration. |
|
Some DirectShow-based programs interpret the image height as a negative value, causing the live image to be displayed in mirrored format. In such cases, the "Use bottom-up images" option can be activated on the "Device" page via the Filter Property Pages. This displays the images correctly again. Note that the settings of "Use bottom up images" are stored in different registry keys depending on the respective system (32 or 64-bit). |
