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

page 143

.

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”.
