Hi
Does anyone have a simple example to VANC Capture?

I'm reading the manual, but don't know how to start.

Thanks in advance

I'm really new to this area. Just looking for some help to start.

hi
What should i pass as parameter in

2.5.21.2 IDeckLinkVideoFrameAncillaryPackets::GetFirstPacketByID method

I have the DID, SDID, but I don't know what to pass as parameter in IDeckLinkAncillaryPacket **packet

example: GetFirstPacketByID(61,01,??)

Hi Yuri,

The IDeckLinkAncillaryPacket **packet parameter is an output, so you need to provide a reference to pointer IDeckLinkAncillaryPacket*

For example:

Code: Select all

IDeckLinkVideoAncillaryPackets* vancPackets = NULL;
IDeckLinkAncillaryPacket* packet = NULL;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;

hr = videoFrame->QueryInterface(IID_IDeckLinkVideoAncillaryPackets, (void**)&vancPackets);
if (hr != S_OK)
    goto bail;

hr = vancPackets->GetFirstPacketByID(61, 01, &packet);
if (hr != S_OK)
    goto bail;

Hi yuriflorencio,

You might want to take a look at libklvanc and klvanc-tools. This library abstracts out all the VANC parsing and makes it easy to do VANC capture (just initialize the library, set callbacks for the VANC types you want to receive and start capturing video frames).

Some command line tools are included which demonstrate use of the library (and are a good starting point for writing your own app).
