Capture video card output

[Ganux]

Hi,

I need to build a VI where i capture the output of my video card (my screen...)

I tried doin' it by taking PrintScreen's but I'm not satisfied that way...

Hope one of you guys can help me 😉

Greetz,

What are you trying to achieve?

Do you want to save a picture of the whole screen, one window? Are you trying to record video of what the screen is showing?

For a front panel you can use the FP.Get Image property node. This can be cropped to get subsections. However a bit more detail is required to get you going.

I'm trying to achieve a conversion from the data from my video card to RGB-pixels.

Then i would sent these over UDP to a controller board my partner is designing.

A next step would be to scale the data for lower resolutions, but that's a next step..

for now it would be nice to get the data from my card, so i can continue with the conversion 😉

The IMAQ vision toolkit will probably be your friend if you have it - searching the forum will pop up lots of similar queries.

I can't help you much as I don't have it and haven't used it!

Good luck

I don't have the toolkit..

Isn't there a way without using this?

using DirectX or someting like that??
