Video processors

Processors read data from a video source, alter it or combine it with additional data, and then pass it along to other processors or graphic views. Analog video digitizers and video effects processors are two types of video processors.

Digitizers

A digitizer reads analog data from a source, converts it to digital data, and writes the digital video data to another video component such as a graphic view:


TVideoDigitizer is a special type of video component that provides a common interface for all video digitizers.


To create an instance of the default video digitizer, you use the static function TVideoDigitizer::CreateDefaultVideoDigitizer. You can derive classes from TVideoDigitizer to support devices that provide specialized features, such as frame grabbing based on SMPTE time code, odd or even field capture, and programmable video signal characteristics.

NOTE Classes derived from TVideoDigitizer must override the output port functions inherited from TMediaComponent.
