Video output modules can transmit images (videos) to ibaCapture, which can be recorded as virtual camera. Since all relevant video parameters have already been configured in ibaVision, only the Video output module that will be accessed must be selected.

Open ibaCapture Manager and add a new camera. The camera configuration wizard starts. Select Virtual camera (ibaVision) as camera type and enter a camera name.

• Enable live video when not running

• Camera recording mode

  • Always (default): By default, video is always recorded, irrespective of whether a recording control was enabled in ibaPDA or not. Even if the recording control is enabled and camera recording is disabled in ibaPDA, ibaCapture will record videos.

  • Record except when disabled by ibaPDA: Video is recorded unless the recording control is enabled in ibaPDA and recording is disabled for the relevant camera (output signal = true).

  • Don't record except when enabled by ibaPDA: Video is not recorded unless the recording control is enabled in ibaPDA and recording is enabled for the relevant camera (output signal = true).

  • Never: No videos are recorded by ibaCapture, irrespective of whether a recording control was enabled in ibaPDA or not. Only a live image is provided. In this case the "storage settings" are deactivated, since no memory space is required.

Specify the camera settings in step 2 of the camera configuration wizard.
