Capturing from serial port (RS232) with DirectShow. Help!
Hi!
First of all, sorry if my english is not so good...
I need to know if it is possible to capture a video stream with DirectShow from a webcam connected to the serial port of a computer.
Maybe it′s important to say that the webcam is not directly connected to the RS232, the webcam is installed in to a microbot, and it sends the data stream via wireless (with radiofrecuency) to a capture card connected to the serial port of the PC... So windows hasn′t the drivers of the webcam.
So, what i really need to know it′s if there′s a way to make DirectShow read from the serial port a video stream without previously knowing if there′s a peripheral connected, just reading the data flow and performing it as a video stream.
Don′t know if i could express my question properly... anyway thanks for your effort and help.
Salutes!
