Sample code to open the associated device configuration dialog prior to starting a live encode session using Expression Encoder v4

  • Artykuł

The following program illustrates how to build a small Windows Application to perform the following actions:

    1. Select a Video and Audio Device Source (see Figure 2)
2. Open the associated Device Source Configuration Dialog (see Figure 3)
3. Start an Encode Session (see Figure 4)
4. End the Encode Session (see Figure 5)

Keep in mind that this is only a sample application and provided to demonstrate the process to perform the steps mentioned above demonstrates the items listed above. Thanks again to my colleagues Rob Dil and Carmine Sirignano for their assistance and collaboration on this sample.

This programming sample is provided As-is for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. The sample assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures.

INSTRUCTIONS: Review the figures below along with the code sample them simply Copy and Paste the following code into your Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 VB.net project, build the project, add the necessary Expression Encoder references, controls, and change the encoding path to one you have available.
