Epiphan Frame Grabber
Figure 7: Windows video capture workstation software
Using the Epiphan software development kit (SDK) you can also
create custom USB device drivers that incorporate the functions
that you need.
On Windows video capture workstations the Epiphan USB device
driver installs a control panel application (
Figure 8
).
From this control panel application you can view the status of the
Frame Grabbers connected to the video capture workstation. You
can also configure image adjustments for each Frame Grabber
and configure how the Epiphan USB device driver communicates
with DirectShow. See
“Configuring DirectShow options” on
If you have successfully installed the Epiphan USB device driver,
when you connect a Frame Grabber, the name of the Frame
Grabber appears in the Windows Device Driver under Imaging
Devices. For example, if you installed a DVI2USB Solo Frame
Grabber the name of the imaging device would be “DVI2USB
Solo by Epiphan Systems Inc”.
