 Technical Notes |
- Programming environments: Win32 visual development environments (excluding Windows 95 and NT version 4.0). Also requires DirectX 8.0 or greater.
- Sample code is included for: VB.NET, C#, VB, Delphi, VC++
- Deploys within .NET as a managed control (see "Building Robust Imaging Components for the Microsoft .NET Platform" white paper)
- Can be used in any development environment that hosts ActiveX/COM controls
- Free full-featured trial version available for immediate download (comes bundled with a trial version of the powerful PICVideo Codec for Motion JPEG and Lossless JPEG compression/decompression)

| Video Capture |
- Interfaces with any Video For Windows or DirectShow/WDM video capture device, including USB and FireWire devices
- Capture images directly into an application instead of resorting to third-party applications and loading files from disk
- Complete control over image capture, compress and save options
- Acquire both still images and video streams under program control
- Capture and compress video with or without audio
- Output compressed or uncompressed AVI, depending on video codecs the user has installed
- Save images to BMP and JPG for high-quality output images
- Password protect images using PIC, a Pegasus Imaging Corporation format that allows greater compression and password capability. These files require Pegasus Imaging products to view and manipulate them.
- Capture to a video file or to programmatically named still images
- Programmatically select the capture devices to use
- Programmatically select flicker-free video, capture preview, and audio preview
- Save and retrieve current settings with a single call
- Dialogs make available all modes and capabilities for a particular device, including screen preview of live video
- Direct access to filtergraph for advanced applications
- Track video statistics such as number of frames captured and duration of a clip
- AutoSave can be set via an interval timer
- Video and audio source selection
- Text captioning for streams, including Unicode support and time/date macros
- Watermark images with text
- Auto-increment file naming of videos
- TV tuner support

| Image Capture |
- CapturePRO also includes the powerful TwainPRO component to interface with TWAIN devices
- Acquire images from TWAIN scanners and digital cameras
- Data source enumeration and selection
- Enable/disable data source user interface
- Multiple image acquisition
- Read and Write basic G3/G4 TIFF, JPEG, BMP and PackBits
- FTP upload capability
- Specify image resolution, image scaling, units, and color depth
- Negotiate for all standard device features such as image dimensions, location and resolution
- Negotiate for optional device features such as: autofeeder enabling, brightness, contrast, image layout/frame, maximum image transfers, progress indicators, resolution, scaling, and units
- Scan images faster and use less memory by transferring images from the data source in either Native or Buffered Memory transfer mode
- Provides support for advanced TWAIN capabilities like barcode or patchcode detection and compressed data transfer directly from the scanner
- Reduce data transferred between the scanner and the PC by transferring images from high-end scanners using the scanner's built-in compression
- Catch illegal operations from errant TWAIN Data Sources before they crash the application. TwainPRO will return an error back to the application letting the application safely exit or continue.
