As we see announcements for more and more powerful NPUs and AI support in newer consumer hardware, here is a new demo with Artificial Intelligence attached to a good old sample camera application based on the Microsoft Media Foundation Capture Engine API. This demo is a blend of several technologies: Media Foundation, Direct3D 11, Direct3D…
While on it, a quick update to the previous post/application:
A variant of previous CaptureEngineVideoCapture demo application which features AMD Advanced Media Framework SuperResolution scaler for video. It is basically a live video camera application started in low resolution mode, and it enables you to switch between GPU (OpenCL probably?) implemented realtime upscaling modes. AMD scaler is wrapped into Media Foundation Transform and is applied…
MFCreateFMPEG4MediaSink (CMPEG4MediaSink class) has no support for H.265/HEVC… MF_E_INVALIDMEDIATYPE… It should have been there. We’re not expecting Dolby AC-4 to be supported [yet], but H.265?
I am sometimes using a rework of earlier DxgiTakeSnapshot application for one specific purpose mentioned below. In addition to Desktop Duplication API, recent version of Windows offer a similar (in sense of acquisition of external video content) API: Windows.Graphics.Capture (hereinafter “WGC”), and the new rework is using this API to capture visual content as a…
There is a new API coming with Windows 11. Finally we will get well defined way to register virtual cameras (perhaps for applications built against Windows Media Foundation API, not DirectShow): MFCreateVirtualCamera. Creates a virtual camera object which can be used by the caller to register, unregister, or remove the virtual camera from the system.…
The engineering quality of most recent Microsoft’s work around Media Foundation is terrible. It surely passes some internal tests to make sure that software items meet requirements of the use cases required for internal products, but published work gives impression that there is noone left to care about API offerings to wide audience. One new…
