I have found that executing some code based on ImageEn a new entry is added to the Windows registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Direct3D\Shims\EnableOverlays (the value is set to 1)

Is ImagenEn code that is creating it ?

thanks

Hi Roberto

ImageEn will not directly write anything to the registry (registry unit is not even added if you only include standard ImageEn units). However if you use DirectShow then they might write registry entries. Do you use any DirectShow function in ImageEn? e.g. ImageEnView1.IO.DShowParams:

Thanks,

This is the code

var
  w, h: Integer;
begin
  with ImageEnView1.IO.DShowParams do
  begin
    begin
      disconnect;
      // set video source as index of IO.DShowParams.VideoInputs
      SetVideoInput(ComboBox1.ItemIndex, StrToIntDef('0', 0));
      // set the second parameter if you have more than one camera with same name
      connect;
      w := VideoFormats[0].MaxWidth;
      h := VideoFormats[0].MaxHeight;
      SetVideoInput(ComboBox1.ItemIndex, StrToIntDef('0', 0), w, h);
      // set the second parameter if you have more than one camera with same name
      // enable video and audio rendering
      RenderAudio := True;
      RenderVideo := True;

      // ReferenceClock:=rcAudioOutput;
      // ClockErrorTolerance:=40;
      // ReferenceClock:=rcSystemClock;

      // Connect to the video input
      connect;

      // Set bitmap size
      GetVideoRenderNativeSize(w, h);
      ImageEnView1.Proc.ImageResize(w, h);
    end;
    // start capture
    Run;
  end;
end;

Combobox1 has been filled with the code:

ComboBox1.Items.Assign(ImageEnView1.IO.DShowParams.VideoInputs);

Hi

In that case, DirectShow may create Registry entries. We can't control that, you'll need to ask Microsoft

Only one thing more. DirectShow is the only possibility in ImageEn to connect to a usb camera (webcam) and get a frame, right ?

Hi Roberto

Depending on the camera, it may also be possible with:

or WIA:

Nice thanks,

i'm trying with MediaFoundation but i have problem.

The video is visualized into a TImageEnView component using this code (from the demo app):

ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader.SelectMediaType(mmf_VIDEO_STREAM, 0);

    ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader.VideoProcessor.SetMirror(mfpmHorizontal);
    ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader.VideoProcessor.SetRotation(mfprNormal);

    ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader.StartCapture();


When a button is clicked i need to get the current frame and visualize it into another TImageEnView component.

With DirectShow i use this code:

with ImageEnView1.IO.DShowParams do
    begin
      GetSample(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap);
      ImageEnView1.Update;
      frame.IEBitmap.Assign(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap); // Frame is a TImageEnView component
      frame.IO.fParams.Assign(ImageEnView1.IO.fParams);
      frame.Update;
      modalresult := mrOk;
    end;



I need to do the same thing with MediaFoundation. I have tryed with this code but i guess it's only valid if used inside the ImageEnView1MediaFoundationNotify event:

with ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader do
    begin
      sample := GetNextSample();
      try
        if sample.StreamType = mmf_VIDEO_STREAM then
        begin
          sample.DecodeSample(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap);
          ImageEnView1.Update();
          frame.IEBitmap.Assign(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap);
          frame.IO.fParams.Assign(ImageEnView1.IO.fParams);
          frame.Update;
          modalresult := mrOk;
        end;
      finally
        sample.Free();
      end;
    end;


sample.StreamType is empty so the code is not executed.


Is there a solution ?

thanks

Seems i have found the solution.

I have removed the line

if sample.StreamType = mmf_VIDEO_STREAM then


And i was missing the code:

ImageEnView1.IO.MediaFoundationSourceReader.SetVideoInput(ComboBox1.ItemIndex);
