Hi, I am new to LabView and was wondering how I can acquire and display a video directly from USB camera in the front panel. Thanks for any help.

Thanks Matt for the link and will look at it. Was wondering if I need to have IMAQ Vision installed to display video to the user. Maybe it will clear up after I look at the examples in the article.

The Vision software is not needed to view images in LabVIEW but it does make it easier and more powerful. Please see the link below for more information on Vision.
