The Video capture device object for grabbing video image from all Server displays/monitors via FFMPEG driver can be added either by manually creating the Video capture device or using the Camera discovery tool. The latter way is preferable.
Add the Video capture device object for grabbing video image from all Server displays/monitors via FFMPEG driver as follows:
Enter any IP address in the IP address field (1). The driver automatically sets the proper address for this model.
When adding this device type by manually creating the Video capture device object, set the following IP address: gdigrab://desktop |
The address with additional options for the ffmpeg utility can be specified in the IP address field on the Video capture device object settings panel. In this case, the address has the following format:
gdigrab://desktop: [-additionalOptions]
For example, a specific area can be set with several other options. Below is the list of options supported by the ffmpeg library for the gdigrab mode:
Example of "additionalOptions” property:
-draw_mouse 1 -show_region 1 -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -offset_x 10 -offset_y 10
