Great! Then it appears that Pinnacle has fixed the problem. Note to all other users that have this issue ... download the latest driver!

Thanks for solving this issue!

Ok, that is good news that other filters work fine.

How are you grabbing the camera images? Are you using another module? The reason I ask is that when you are using another module like the HTTP_READ the source image is not defined and will appear black. The source image is defined as the image that is captured by RoboRealm prior to the pipeline beginning execution. If there is no image at the beginning of execution (i.e. camera button is up) then the source image will be black.

If that is your case then you need to set a marker just after you grab the image. Then use the math module after the COG module to add back in that marked image. It is more complex than just clicking the checkbox in the COG interface but at least it can be done.

To better help you can you post the robo-file that you are using?

Gruzdev,

Unfortunately we have had a couple of others users report issues with the Pinnacle PCTV hardware. It appears that other programs that use DirectX including AMCap also do not work with this hardware. At this point we do not have any solutions with regards to this hardware.

Are there any other programs that you have successfully used the Pinnacle camera in? Can you try AMCap just to be sure?

Thanks,
STeven.

Gruzdev,

No that does not sound normal. What type of video source are you using? An IP Camera? or a USB camera?

What video image size are you acquiring at?

STeven.

COG, overlay

Hello,
in module Center of Gravity there is such function: "overlay graphics on source image"
at me it works only if I use jpg pictures or video from a local file.
if I acquired video via the cam the screen remains black.

is this normal?
