SDK for Developers
A complete and thorough SDK is provided free of charge for Forward T
products in order to develop one's own applications allowing you to
implement the following options based on the products:
• video and audio input/output (playing files of different formats
included)
• controlling the FD300 board video mixer
• chroma key (rear projection)
• controlling the FD300 board multichannel audio mixer
• overlaying titles with alpha channel
• control of overlaying "standard" title objects of the title system
• control of overlaying one's own multilayer animated titles with
transparency
• controlling the SMS title object, integration of applications of
SMS providers with title objects for displaying SMS messages (creating
SMS chats, SMS polls)
• controlling the FDOnAir application (controlling the broadcast
server and/or receiving messages from it)
• playback of various video formats using DirectShow technology
To work with the SDK, you can use various programming languages: C++,
C#, VB, Java. Our SDK is successfully used by developers from the USA, Europe,
Korea, Argentina, Rusland, China
Video & Audio Capture
Using Forward T products, you can capture video and audio to AVI files. To compress video, you can use any video codec Video for Windows (intraframe) installed in the system. The software package includes several video codecs for popular video formats: DV, Motion JPEG, MPEG2 I-Frame, optimized for maximum performance (multiprocessor support included). Audio is captured without compression (Linear PCM, 16 bit).
Features:
• all analog signal formats in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM standards are supported
• optionally available is digital video capture via SDI input/output board (note: digital video capture via the IEEE1394 interface is not supported)
• TBC for working with unstable signal (e.g. VHS recorders)
• hardware synchronization of video and audio
• automatic capture by the schedule
• controlling the recorder when capturing data (Sony Betacam RS-422, Sony RS-232 protocols)
• when capturing, simultaneous playback of video and titles is possible
Capture is performed using the FDCapture application included in the software package.
