Requirements

Runtime

To execute an application that uses Euresys DirectShow filters, following components must be installed:

DirectX 9.0 or later
MultiCam 5.0 or later

Please note that these components must be installed in the order mentioned above.

Development

To develop an application using DirectShow and Euresys filters, or to use GraphEdit to prototype an application, following components must be installed:

DirectX SDK 9.0 or later
MultiCam 5.0 or later

These components must be installed in the order mentioned above.

Note that, if you use Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, Microsoft Platform SDK must be installed.

Automatic Installation

MultiCam installation package (setup.exe) automatically installs the Euresys source filter on the target computer.

Manual Installation

The information below is for advanced installation issues or troubleshooting.

Following DLL compose the Euresys DirectShow filters:

ESFilter.dll: contains the Euresys source filter component.
ESFPropertyPages.dll: contains the filter property pages.
ESFEnum.dll: holds the video capture source enumerator.

These DLL contain COM objects.

To manually install or repair the installation of these components, copy them on the host PC and register them with regsvr32.exe. To do so, open a command line prompt and type following commands:

regsvr32.exe ESFEnum.dll
regsvr32.exe ESFilter.dll
regsvr32.exe ESFPropertyPages.dll

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

Euresys ESFEnum.dll enumerator file can not be registered under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

If one or more boards are present in the computer, instead of proposing a filter for each valid driver index and connector combination, the Windows default enumerator file finds one "Euresys Source Filter".

This filter is automatically associated to the first connector on the first board. Then this default association can be modified to match your requirements either through the property pages of the filter or through the API functions.
