DV commands

Kept for reference only.

DV commands DV commands are available on the current video capture device when IsDVCommandAvailable returns true (e.g. when the video capture device is a DV camcorder).

TDVCommand commands can be sent to the DV device by calling SendDVCommand .

Most DV camcorders accept these transport commands without additional requirements.

Note: Non-DV VCR or camcorders can accept transport commands, however, to control an external VCR, certain hardware requirements are recommended. VCRs with an RS-422 serial interface require a special serial port card or an external RS-232-to-RS-422 adapter. In addition, for best performance, the computer serial should support 38.4 baud.
