Stream from analog video capture card

Post by nopilopi »

Hi @ all!

I want to stream an analog video signal which is grabbed by a Hauppauge ImpactVCB. Is it possible to stream this?

I found a similar thread regarding a TV card but I think this to different.

Thx for any hints :)

Interesting, I would probably start by making sure the analog video is captured by VLC and transcode/remux it to something your renderer would accept streamed as is to avoid a 2nd trnscoding by UMS, and then that stream be announced via the web streams capability of UMS.
Probably I overcomplicated it :-)
-- UMS serving PS3, WDTV, Samsung H6400 + J5500 and Kalemsoft renderers! (no video transcoding but remuxing accepted :D )

If you're on Windows and the card is directshow-compliant, you can try the jumpy capture script. But first see if it shows up as a directshow device by opening a command window in the UMS win32 folder and running ffmpeg:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
