Digital Workshop

I have a plate Pixeview to capture the TV signal (TV Capture Card) installed on my computer. I would like to create a presentation in which one of the screens were captured from the TV signal from TV card. is that possible?

Opus has no facilities to capture video directly, but it can interface other software using DLLs. Opus can also start other programs from within Opus. I am not very sure what you are trying to do? Do you want to capture TV teal time. If you just want to display the TV channel in an opus window, something like that may be possible. Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to do.

Hi,
This topic comes up every now and then. I also asked it a while ago.
The answer is then that it can be done with thirst party software or DLL's etc.
Maybe sombody made it already and can upload a small example. That would be verry verry welcome.

i am making scorboards for different kind of sports like icehockey and soccer. If i could display realtime video i would be verry happy.

kind regards form the Netherlands,

I have by no means solved this problem, but an idea that occurs to me is that almost anything you can display in a web page can be displayed in a browser object....

Therefore, if you find a 3rd party product that streams video into a HTML EMBED tag (like a flash viewer or similar), you could display a browser object in your publication with the embedded html video window.

Back in the old "Illuminatus" days, this is how I got Flash in my publications before Opus/Illuminatus supported SWF files.

Hi Sandyn,
I've got a computer which has a Tv capture card and I have been creating a three-page publication and one of these pages should automatically show the image of the Tv that was being captured by the usb capture card.
