Armin posted something a while ago (cf. attachment /

 and I'm sure he would be happy to chat about details.

Dear colleagues,



To get ready for an upcoming migration to the matterhorn system  I spent some 
time to

play with Gstreamer and the VGA/video grabber hardware we use in our existing 
REPLAY

capture clients (Playmobil). We have a about 20 of this quite expensive NCast 
DCC3.1 and

DCC 4.0 cards and we want to use it with the matterhorn capture clients.



The results of this very interesting endeavor with Gstreamer  is summarized on 
a wiki page

http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Examples+of+Gstreamer+Piplines+with+NCast+VGA+and+Video+Grabber+Cards



I show there a Gstreamer pipeline to grab VGA with 5 fps  and video with 25 fps 
from NCast card and

encode this two streams in full quality with MPEG4 and MP3 audio to two 
distinct files.



In a second pipeline I added live streaming to it. This additional live 
streaming is virtually for free.



The third pipeline shows a possible solution for very cheap confidence 
monitoring as a video stream

This pipeline needs only 2-3% CPU



The forth pipeline integrates all this things together:

·         full quality recording to files

·         full quality live streaming

·         confidence monitoring

with total costs of 100-130% CPU (of total 200% CPU of my Core2Duo 2.4GHz Test 
System)



Regards

Armin
