roVideoInput
This object allows playback of HDMI input or video provided by a video capture dongle. Note that the ifVideoInput
methods do not apply to HDMI input, which can be achieved by passing an unmodified roVideoInput instance to the
roVideoPlayer.PlayFile() method (see below for examples).
roVideoInput is created with no parameters:
CreateObject("roVideoInput")
Interfaces: ifVideoInput
The ifVideoInput interface provides the following:
