Camera record button pressed detection

Hi, is it possible to detect in Declink API, that record button was pressed on camera? Can you please provide me an example?

Hi Krystof,

If your camera supports writing to the record flag in timecode user bits, then you can access this with the following steps inside the IDeckLinkInputCallback::VideoInputFrameArrived callback:

• With the captured video frame, call IDeckLinkVideoFrame::GetTimecode
• On the output IDeckLinkTimecode, call IDeckLinkTimecode::GetFlags
• Mask the timecode flags (BMDTimecodeFlags) with bmdTimecodeRecordingTriggered

The CapturePreview SDK sample provides an example of capture of timecode user bits.

Regards
Cameron
