STV0676 DirectCap
4 DirectCap
A DirectShow (DS) driver is installed to enable you to use the camera with DS applications. ST no
longer supports Video for Windows (VfW), but the DS driver will run on VfW applications using the
Microsoft DS -> VfW mapper.
To demonstrate the DS driver an application called DirectCap is included in the EVK package. This
application can be used for all our DS supported chipsets. See
