Hi guys,
I’m testing the capture card Datapath VisionRGB-E2S. Everything works with the VideoIn (DX11 DShow) node but I noticed a difference between DX9 and DX11 version of the VideoIn node.
In the DX9 version I can set the resolution from a IO box so the res. (e.g. 1920x1080px) remains even if I disconnect the source from the capure card. In that way I can have the “no signal” texture at 1920x1080px.
In the DX11 version the resolution is set from an enumeration. If a source is connected I can set the right resolution but if I disconnect the source the only res. avaliable in the enumaration is 320x240px.
What I whant to achieve is to set the same resolution (1920x1080px) when I have signal and when I have no signal in the DX11 node. In the DX9 version works!
i’ve experienced similar things before and had a look at the code too. iirc this is because of a a bug in the code of the node, that will always choose the last (or first?) entry of the list. i did not have the time then to make a proper fix but i might have something else that might help here. just give me a few days - i’m quite busy right now…
sorry to hear that it did not work for you - at least for my blackmagic interface it worked that way.
i’ve just given it another try - this version here explicitly lists the available modes of the selected cameras (resolution, framerate, bitcount combined). let’s hope this makes a step forward.
unfortunately it is hard to test without your video card as different cameras seem to report their capabilities differently, which is probably why this selection with the videoin node fails (i’m not 100% sure though).
Hi motzi,
your last version with the list of all avaliable modes of the selected camera could be the solution. It works with my webcam. When the pc with capture card will came back in office I’ll test the node asap.
