VideoBrush.SetSource Method (CaptureSource)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Sets the source of the VideoBrush using a video capture source
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Parameters
- source
- Type: System.Windows.Media.CaptureSource
A CaptureSource corresponding to a camera on the device.
To display video from the camera, set the source video for a VideoBrush using a CaptureSource. For more information on obtaining a CaptureSource, see How to record video in a camera app for Windows Phone 8.
To display the camera preview, like what you would see in a camera viewfinder, use the SetSource method to apply the instantiated PhotoCamera object to the VideoBrush. For more information, see How to create a base camera app for Windows Phone 8.
This method also provides a simple playback capability for captured video such that it can easily be displayed without having to process individual frames of video or video formats. Other more advanced scenarios for using a video CaptureSource exist whereby you can access the raw video; for information on these scenarios, see VideoSink.
