DoReact("GRABBER","_id_","_command_" [,"_parameters_"]);

List of commands and parameters for the the Grabber object is presented in the following table:

Command – command description	Parameters	Description of parameters
"SETUP" – sets parameters of video capture device.	chan<>	Number of PCI slot (0,1,2,…,32).
	mode<>	Speed of grabber/digitising (0 – maximal, 1 – average, 2 – minimal).
	resolution<>	Resolution (0– standard, frame quarter (384x288); 1 – high, half-frame (768x288); 2 – maximal frame (768x576)).
	format<>	Format of video signal (PAL, NTSC).

	cams<>	Number of connected video cameras
	auth<>
	ip<>	IP-address of video input network card
	name<>	Name of object.
	flags <>	Flags.
	ip_port<>	IP-port.

Properties of the GRABBER object	Description of properties
ID<>	Object ID.
PARENT_ID<>	Number of video capture device.

Examples of using events and reactions of the Video capture Device object:

It is required to set the first channel for the first video capture device, maximal speed of digitizing, resolution is half-frame and PAL format while starting the first macro.

Code Block

OnEvent("MACRO","1","RUN") // start macro 1
{
    DoReact("GRABBER","1", "SETUP", "chan<1>,mode<0>,resolution<1>,format<PAL>");
    //set channel 1 for the first video capture device, speed of digitizing is maximal, resolution is half-frame, format is PAL
}

Info

title	Note.

Description of the MACRO object is follows (see the MACRO section).

Set disks D:\ and F:\ for video archive record while starting the third macro.

Code Block
OnEvent("MACRO","3","RUN") //start macro 3 { DoReact("GRABBER","1","SET_DRIVES","drives<D:\,F:\>"); //record the video archive on disks D:\ and F:\ }

video capture device.

...

Code Block

OnEvent("GRABBER","2"," UPS_FATAL_ERROR") //error of connection to the video capture device 2
{
    DoReact("CAM","1","MUX1"); //display video camera 1 on the 1-st analog output of card
    Wait(5);
    DoReact("GRABBER","1","MUX1_OFF"); //disable 1-st analog output of the first card
    DoReact("GRABBER","2","MUX1_OFF"); //disable 1-st analog output of the second card
}

Info

title	Note.

If analog outputs of two or more cards are connected in parallel and video camera 1 belongs to the first grabber and video camera2 belongs to the second grabber than while triggering the «DoReact("CAM","1","MUX1");» command it is required to trigger the «DoReact("GRABBER","2","MUX1_OFF");» command at first, and correspondingly while triggering the «DoReact("CAM","2","MUX1");» command it is required to trigger the «DoReact("GRABBER","1","MUX1_OFF");» command at first. Otherwise signal overlaying will happened.

Info

title	Note.

Description of the CAM object is follows (see the CAM section).

It is required to disable the second analog output of the video capture device while restoring the main supply.
