Introduction

There are basically two techniques used to capture the video images from video
devices such as a PC camera, digital camera, and scanner. They are the

Twain:Acquire•••

technique and the

DirectShow

technique (previously called

VFW

).

The most obvious characteristics of the

Twain

technique is that it displays the

Video

in smaller resolution but captures the image in high resolution. The

USCMOS

and

UHCCD

series cameras support all of these two image capture techniques.

Steps for Twain Acquire

UHCCD01400KPA

(1.4M pixels,

USB2.0) camera as an example.

1. Install the camera driver (for example driver for

UHCCD01400KPA

hardware);
