Easily transmit video via USB. Send video data to the host.
Simple and driverless! Plug-and-play on any operating system.
Overview
Using emUSB-Device Video, an embedded device can transmit video data to a host, be it from a dedicated camera peripheral, from a storage medium or generated by the application. emUSB-Device Video allows the device to handle video data irrespective of the available hardware, for example pre-recorded instruction videos can be played from a hardware without a camera.
Typical Applications
The video class is the foundation for any embedded device handling video data.
Typical applications include webcams, professional cameras or video processing equipment.
