Digitizer 3 Applications
An optional application is available for download at
http://www.ncast.com/downloads.html. The Play Cap Moniker application, the
application currently available, demonstrates to users how to access DCC-3 Inputs using
Direct Show and the provided DLL library. Through these interfaces, users can test
controls for:
• Selecting current inputs on both main and PiP windows
• Switch between PiP and Full Screen modes
• Change size of PiP and Main windows
• Adjust position of PiP and Main windows
The description of access to the API is outlined in “ncastwd1.idl” file, which compiles
with Microsoft IDL compiler (MIDL). The file used to access this functionality is
“ncastwd1_i.c”.
