UseVideoDeviceAudio Property

Summary

Gets or sets the option to use the audio source in the current video device.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public virtual bool UseVideoDeviceAudio { get; set; }

public: 
virtual property bool UseVideoDeviceAudio { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

Property Value

true if the audio source in the video device is used; false, otherwise.

Remarks

The default value for this property is True. It specifies whether the CaptureCtrl object will use the audio from the video device, if no audio device has been explicitly selected. For instance, DV devices contain both audio and video. Normally, if you select a DV device with no audio device, the DV device's audio stream will be used. However, if you set this property to False, then no audio stream will be rendered. This helps build a slightly more efficient graph when processing video only from DV devices.

Example

using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm();

   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl;

   int testChan = 6; 
   int channel; 
 
   try

      // select the first device with analog in it's name 
      // Replace "Analog" with your video capture device name 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["Analog"] == null)

      capturectrl.VideoDevices["Analog"].Selected = true; 
 
      // use the video capture device's audio 
      capturectrl.UseVideoDeviceAudio = true;

         capturectrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.VideoAndAudio); 
 
         // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
         // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
         while (capturectrl.State == CaptureState.Running) 
            Application.DoEvents(); 
 
         // if TV tuner is valid 
         if (tvtuner != null) 
         { 
            // check the channel 
            channel = tvtuner.Channel; 
 
            // and set the result to what we expect 
            _result = (channel == testChan); 
         } 
      }
