Does anyone know how to recognise the image capture signal from a
medical scope such as a video colonoscope? I've got video streaming
from the scope to the computer but want my app to recognise when the
scopes image capture button is pressed, rather than have to capture
the image by pressing a button in my app.
Is the video you are receiving analog (over a coax cable into a video
encoding card like WinNov) or digital (over the network, viewable with
WMP or VLC or other program without a hardware card)?
Assuming you want to do this from Access I'd try to find software that
can decode your video, take a snapshot or save a frame of video and is
COM-aware so that you can control the video software from within Access.
If you are receiving digital video stream and can see the video then you
must have the appropriate decoder software already installed. The
question then is how to save a frame and how to do it from Access.
Can you currently see the video on the PC where you are developing your app?
