Snap shot with overlaying text in the smart client

Hi,

We are using Multi channel meta data provider to display the overlay in the smart client. We would like to take snap shot of a particular camera with overlaying text.

Is this possible through MIP SDK ?

Let us know the way to take snap shot if possible?

Thanks,

BHI Team

In the MIP SDK you would get snapshot easiest by use of VideoOS.Platform.Client.ImageViewerControl.GetCurrentDisplayedImageAsBitmap. If not having an ImgeViewerControl you would use a JPEGVideoSource to get a JPEG.

For both of these methods you get the camera image without any overlay. If you want overlay you will have to read the metadata yourself and then create a new image with the overlay graphics and lastly merge the camera image and the overlay graphics.

There is no direct route to a camera image including metadata overlay, I hope you can make it work as I have outlined here.

Thanks Andersen we will look on this.
