mutlimedia sdk V16 capabilities

Hi
I need to make a soft that will be able to
Capture video
draw text and shape (circle square..)
edit video (cut / save)
preview video
Is the sdk able all of this without more plug-in ?
On my evaluation sdk I've found
preview video
edit video (cut / save)
Capture video
But I didn't found simple way to make my overlay (I know I've always the same problem)
do you have a simple sample to do it for the V16 version ?
thanks

Do you want to draw these shapes on the surface of the control, or do you want them to become part of the video contents.

If it's on the surface, you could try to use Windows GDI graphics functions to draw on the control's window.

On the other hand, if you want to modify the video frames, you can do that using our Video Callback filter which gives you access to the pixel data of each frame of the video. You can modify that pixel data in any way you want (like drawing text or shapes on them) and then preview them.

The toolkit has demos that use the Video Callback filter, but these demos require LEADTOOLS imaging toolkit to be installed. However, you can use the filter even without the imaging toolkit.

This is the problem I don't know how to implement the callback filter
I've made all the other function but sorry I didn't find the way to do that [:'(]
Please help me I use multimedia sdk V16 and VS2005
In the demo I didn't find the callback overlay part.
Thanks

More precision
I want to put it in the video frame

I've made a simple solution that capture video I've added the callbackCapture file from your sample
In this file I've delete all the raster function ,know when I compile my prog  I pass in the ReceiveProc function .
Know what can I do to add a simple circle in my video or to put  some text
Is it possible when I will finish to put my sample in the forum ?
thanks

In my ReceiveProc function I've put
LMVTextOverlayLib.LMVTextOverlayClass IncrustText = new LMVTextOverlayLib.LMVTextOverlayClass();
                IncrustText.OverlayText = "ESSAI OVERLAY";
                IncrustText.XPos = 50;
                IncrustText.YPos = 50;

But It doesn't work
where is the documentation about LMVTextOverlayLib
nothing in the Multimedia API Help
nothing in the Multimedia COM Objects Help
nothing in the Getting Started with LEADTOOLS Multimedia
It is impossible to find a sample that not use the raster lib
I'm disappointed about the help file and the sample I'm looking for two days for help or sample and each time nobody have a simple solution to draw a text or a circle.
I've read all the post in the forum about callback or overlay and each time the solution is with the raster lib nobody use any other way I don't want to buy the raster lib

Documentation for filters such as the TextOverlay filter will be in the filters help file.  You can find a shortcut to it in Start Menu\Programs\LEADTOOLS Multimedia 16\Processing\Filters\Multimedia Filters Help.

In order to set the properties of a filter, you need to first add the filter to the graph, and then use GetSubObject to get the instance of it.  A while back, I made a demo for this in v15, so I did a quick port to v16 and have attached it.

In regards to drawing on the video frame using the Video Callback, it is certainly possible to not use our Raster library.  The callback provides you with the necessary information to allocate an image (pointer to the data buffer, length of the buffer, width, height, etc.).  You can use whichever library you wish, but we cannot provide support for other libraries including Microsoft GDI.

Finally, if you make a sample and wish to post it on the forums, you are welcome and encouraged to do so as it would help other customers.  Just make sure to follow these guidelines:

1.) Zip the file(s) up.
2.) Make sure it is less than 5 MB.
3.) Remove ANY AND ALL unlock codes and LEADTOOLS DLLs.
4.) Do not click the preview button, the attachment will not show up when you post it.

It work geat
I've added a simple function to draw a rectangle in GDI in the btnChangeProperties_Click_1 function

            IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr();
            hwnd = axltmmPlayCtrl1.Handle;
            Graphics newGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd);
            newGraphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), 0, 0, 200, 100);
            newGraphics.Dispose();

It work in the part where the video is not refresh so I put it in the callback loop

                Form1 form1 = new Form1();
                IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr();
                hwnd = form1.axltmmCaptureCtrl1.Handle;
                Graphics newGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd);
                newGraphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), 0, 0, 200, 100);
                newGraphics.Dispose();

But it doesn't work at all and the video flux is decelerated
do you have an idea ?
I never work with video before it is interesting but not really easy to understand
Thanks

I try to use overlay lib with a capture object like this
_TextOverlay  = (LMVTextOverlay)axltmmCaptureCtrl1.GetSubObject((int)LTMMLib.ltmmCapture_Object.ltmmCapture_Object_SelVideoProcessor);
but it ask me that an error
Exception de HRESULT : 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
what is my error ?

Is it possible to add more than 1 text with the overlay text function ?

That is because you are drawing on the graphics handle of the control rather than the actual image data.  You  need to create a new bitmap from the information provided in the ReceiveProc callback and draw on that.

Have you added the TextOverlay filter with the SelectedVideoProcessors.Add function to the list of selected video processors first?

Yes, you should be able to add multiple instances of the video overlay filter.  You need to add it multiple times.

Here is my sample it is not complete because I don't understand how the callback work it is too complex too make simple thing so I use another object to make acquisition and overlay.
All the callback structure is done for player and acquisition
Good luck for people how wants to go this way  , may I can Help you with my small experience.

 

Just as a suggestion, you have a lot of hard-coded values that aren't necessarily going to exist on other people's machines (such as the available capture devices).  You should handle those kinds of errors a little differently so that the application will work and not just crash.

What is the problem you were having with the Video Callback?  You are adding the callback and handling the ReceiveProc function properly, but all you're doing is a Debug.Print

Actually to make my overlay text and drawing it is really simple I 've to do this

private void XXXXXXXXX_OverlayUpdate(object sender, XXXXXXXXX.OverlayUpdateEventArgs e)
   {
   OverlayBitmap ob = XXXXXXXXX.OverlayBitmapAtPath[PathPositions.Device];
   e.overlay.Fill(e.overlay.DropOutColor);  
   // Enable the overlay bitmap for drawing.
   ob.Enable = true;
   if (checkBackColor.Checked)
      {//back screen activated
      System.Drawing.Color CouleurFond = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(127, 50, 60);
      e.overlay.DrawSolidRect(CouleurFond, 0, 0, XXXXXXXXX.Width, XXXXXXXXX.Height);
      ob.FontBackColor = CouleurFond;   
      }
   else
      {   
      ob.FontBackColor = e.overlay.DropOutColor;
      }
   //draw my text
   ob.Font = ListBoxItemFont[index, PageEnCours];
   System.Drawing.Color c = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(65, 30,127);
   ob.DrawText(c, 30,100, "OVERLAY TEXT");
   }

As you can see it is really efficient and simple . I think your callback is more efficient but it is too complex for me , I've try to draw like this in the callback function but it doesn't work
Form1 form1 = new Form1();
IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr();
hwnd = form1.axltmmCaptureCtrl1.Handle;
Graphics newGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd);
newGraphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), 0, 0, 200, 100);

I've tried to add text as you can see in my code in the BtnAdd_click but the overlay is not refreshed.
I'm not a great c# programmer I'm always looking for the easy way
If you explain me who to make what I need I will modify my sample and make update in the forum

thanks

 

 

You need to create a new Graphics object from the information we give you in the ReceiveProc method.  Since you'll have to use Microsoft objects for the drawing, please contact Microsoft regarding how to create a Graphics object with the information we provide.

Why do you have a player control and a capture control on the same form?  What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?  Please explain your goals in more detail so I can try to point you in the right direction.

Here's a simple ReceiveProc that shows how to create the Graphics object, draw on it, and then save the image to disk:

public void ReceiveProc(int pData, int lWidth, int lHeight, int lBitCount, int lSize, int bTopDown)
{
    try
    {
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(lWidth, lHeight, lBitCount / 8 * lWidth, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb, new IntPtr(pData));
        if (bTopDown == 0)
            bmp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY);

        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

        g.DrawRectangle (new Pen(Brushes.DodgerBlue), new Rectangle(10,10,50,50));

        bmp.Save("d:\\junk folder\\test.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
    }
}

It works thanks but why I can't see it on the live video ?

You will need to copy the modified image data back to pData with something like Marshal.Copy.  For details on how to copy image data from a System.Drawing.Bitmap object into a memory buffer, please check out MSDN.
