Individual Control

Individual control is available on Picolo Alert and Picolo Diligent.

When individual control is active, the video capture hardware produces two independent media streams from one single camera.

The two media streams can be configured differently.

Configuring the Filter Without Individual Control

Both capture and preview pins share the same settings.

The Euresys source filter exposes the IESFProperties interface. It controls the filter properties and the common properties of both pins.

The IESFCompression interface exposed by the filter is used to control the compression settings, for both pins.

Configuring the Filter With Individual Control

When individual control is enabled, different settings are applied to the capture and preview pins.

IESFCompression and IESFProperties exposed by the Euresys source filter allows controlling the common properties of both pins.

In addition, IESFCompression and IESFProperties exposed by the capture and preview pins allows controlling the individual settings of capture and preview.

Individual control is a hardware capability and depends on the Picolo board in use.
