Hi everyone

Can i get images from web cam on beagle board directly?

Or do i must images(or video stream) from web cam with PC and then
send to beagle board?

Thanks in advance

If the PC can do it, WHY do you think you could not do it on the beagle?

Hi,

My webcam which works on PC , is detected on BB A1 too, shows video0.
But not able to use it.

If “video0” appears in dev folder of BB , does it mean all drivers have been successfully installed?

Thanks

For uvc camera's look at: uvccapture and/or fswebcam

hey cool is there a way to provide a video stream over a network on the beagle xm? It would be better for me if I could interface my firewire cam. Is fire do able on the BB?

i use vlc for video streaming on beagle c4. but if you want to more speed, you can also ffmpeg (NEON).

It is also possible to stream video with Gstreamer
(www.gstreamer.org). Here is sample pipeline for this:

the BB has no firewire interface.

What exactly is the question? If the question is whether ffmpeg has
NEON optimization, then the following is the first link from google:

I did a lab in my BeagleClass where we pull a frame from a web cam
(Sony PS3 Eye) via /dev/video0 and display it on the screen via one of
the video framebuffers. The lab is based on some material from TI's
Technical Training Organization. You can find details here [1]. I
ran a version of this lab when I was in India last year.

Is this what you looking for?
