Network (IP) Video Camera Input

[Synner]

Hello.

I have one of these puppies:

I want to be able to bring the video into Resolume.

Due to the nature of network cameras - they do not have capture drivers as the data comes in through tcp/ip and is usually read and displayed using a java applet in a web browser.

Is there some way I can pull this data into resolume to use this as a live camera input?

It would be great if I could as the camera has full tilt pan zoom and would make a great addition to my mix...

Any help would be appreciated.

So far all I can think of is running another computer, using a frame grabber and outputting the video to a capture card installed on the pc running resolume... which is a whole lot of extra hardware when the camera offers tailor made video data across tcp/ip.

Goddamn, thats a great idea.
They should implement this.
And Dual processor support

Are there details on how to access the data send over the network.
Is there some SDK (software developer kit) available.
You could convince someone to make a freeframe effect.
try posting your request on vjforums and see wether there is a developer who would like to build such a thing.
it does sound very interesting..

what you also could do is the following.
because it's a web server you should be able to access the images through the network.
you could probably make a flash animation wich reads the images from the webserver.
al you need is the path to the files and you are ready to go.

so it doesn't have to be that high tech.
in fact it's probably dead simple.

edwin i have something like that in a canon camera
and i have tryed to do pan/tilt/zoom by the sound values received by flash from resolume but the problem was delay
this kind of cameras have a low processor and the "lag" are terrible
