Get info from video capture card but no SDK
-
I want to control the device with my programm. How to get info from video capture card PEXHDCAP with no SDK or similar. I think I can only dissassemble the software / driver like hackers do. Is there any expert who can find out how to control this device with own software ?

Is there any expert who can find out how to control this device with own software ? While there certainly are, it could be between quite and very expensive. As reverse engineering (even for compatibility) is illegal in some jurisdictions, the one(s) performing it would have to be in a place where it's allowed. Say Europe. Then you have to factor in the very specialized skill-set and expertise in the area, and we could easily look at five digits USD. IMO the company producing the card should at a minimum provide complete driver(s) for it, better yet complete documentation. As patented stuff like H.264 is included, they may themselves be prevented by NDA's to provide neither, making the product a burden on the environment (read: landfill :-) ). Anyway, my advice would be to first contact the company producing it. If that fails, I'd advice against even considering hiring someone to do the work unless you had serious dough just lying around. Better to get a simple card with working software and append x264 to the pipeline. ++luck;

Hi Mike thanks for answering This card can be controlled with standard DirektShow routines some people answered me. But is this fast enough ? And all features programmable ? I will see ... ;) greets Peter
