Can I show a video stream at DASYLab11 ?

[Rodrigo_Nunes]

I would like to show a webcam video stream into a DASYLab layout . Is it possible ?

[CJ_Butler__DASYLab_Pro]

No - DASYLab does not have a way to support a live video feed. 

If you wanted to write an Add-on to DASYLab using the Extension toolkit that provides that, it might be interesting. I don't know how well it would work with the layout. Usually we suggest that you look at a product like LabVIEW for multimedia features like that.

Thanks CJ, I'll check the extension toolkit, but I believe it will take some time to be developed. If I come with a solution, I will be glad to share.

A work around would be to use another application, eg. MPC-HomeCinema ( h.ttp://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/).

With MPC-HC it's possible to "undecorate" (no borders) the window, which show the webcam's vision, and make this window always-on-top, too. Reserve a little space in the layout and move the webcam-window onto this space.
