Requirement:
I would like to interface my .NET application to a “virtual webcam driver” for the purposes of SENDING image frames.
I’m happy to use an open source .NET or COM component if that exists
or indeed implement a “webcam driver” from scratch if someone can point me in the right direction.
My first priority is the functionality.
My second priority is low dependancy on 3rd party libraries and tech (aside from .NET of course 😉 )
I’d prefer not to involve directshow if possible?
If you are going to end up with a virtual camera, important is what APIs you would like to expose it through. In most cases the applications will look for cameras – where they pick your virtual one – through
DirectShowyou tend to avoid.Hence, you need to either deal with DirectShow directly, or use a third party middleware component which can grab/accept your data and deliver it through DirectShow.
