Getting started with the SDK

PostSun Jun 11, 2023 3:07 am

Hi folks,

I've written some software that reads raw file types from another well-known brand, and would like to do the same for BRAW files. I've downloaded and tried to install the 3.1 SDK but there's a couple of things that aren't clear.

Firstly, I added the blackmagicrawdispatch.h file from the Windows include folder, but I get an error with the following include line when I try to build:

Code: Select all
#include "BlackmagicRawAPI.h"


with the error being that the file can't be found. There is however, a "BlackmagicRawAPI.idl" file in the same folder. Is this install missing the header file? Or, am I suppose to get it from somewhere else (copy from one of the other OS folders..)?

Cheers,

WP.

Hi,

Add the .idl file to your project, and then Visual Studio should create the BlackmagicRawAPI.h file for you to use.
You can also refer to the sample code examples.

Thanks
