I'm still pretty new to LabVIEW but with all of my searching I can't find out if what I am trying to accomplish can be done. I'm working on a project that we need to get the video from a camera live kind of like a webcam. It goes through a system and then to a computer. We are using VLC player currently and we have to set it up to read from a certain port. Everything I have tried hasn't worked yet. The only actual thing that I have been able to do is play a video on Windows Media Player that is on the computer currently. Is there anyway to set up a video program in a VI to read from a certain port as long as you have the IP addresses set up correctly?
I can't remember the exact model. It's just like a generic Sony handheld video camera. We already have a set up that allows us to get the video to the computer through an RS-232 port.
Without more detailed info on your setup, this is the best answer I can give you:
If you have the labview IMAQ software (Image Aquisition), you should be able to set up video to read via tcp/ip or udp. Here's an example program to get you started if you have the required drivers (looks like you just want the client portion).
