Dummy IMAQ generator from external software

Hello,

 

I would like to use a LabView program to handle images generated dynamically by another (non-labview) program.
I don't know the best way to achieve that :

-I could stream images from the external program to the network, and just read the images from the endpoitn in LabView. But I miss the documentation of how to binary encode 2D images with width,height,depth so that LabView can decode them (I cannot encode the images in JPG or PNG for performances reasons, I must keep them as raw bitmaps)

-is it possible to create a dummy IMAQ device that would produce the frames as generated by my external program ? And how to do that ?

-any other idea ?

Will IMAQ array to image work?

It could work if the array was encoded in a legible format by the external program, but I can't find the documentation on the expected byte layout.
