[agl]

I have a TV capture Kword whit a Phillips saa7134 TV card. I want to capture images with this card in labview, but I don't know how. There is someone who know how to do this?

If you use IMAQdx (part of Vision Acquisition) it can acquire images from most capture cards that support DirectShow. This would very likely work with your card.

Hi Eric,

thanks for your quick answer.

I have installed IMAQdx, but I don't know if my capture card support DirectShow... I think that yes, because in the controller folder there is one archive named "DirectShowLib-2005.dll"...

Assuming that yes, I try to use the 'IMAQdx open.vi' . However, I need the 'name' of (that windows assign to?) the camera, and I don't know it.

Could you give me an insight on how to get this 'name' or let me know if I'm in the wrong way

Thanks in advance.
