Description

The User Macro ReadImages allows the user to read a sequence of images, that can be passed to other modules to display or capture to make an MPEG with AVS/Express MPEG capabilities.

Example

An example application is provided to create an MPEG using the image_capture module. Load the application from the readimages_appl.v file in the lbl_proj/readimages directory. Set the image_capture module to capture from view and after the frames are stored (disk or memory are the choices) you can review the images or make an MPEG.
