OBS knows video capture card

[ted289]

Hi
OBS is fantastic and I tried to give SA7160 PCI driver as media source
and ? it worked ... jippy ... :-)

How does OBS know how to access to video capture card
with SA7160 PCI driver ? Is there a standard for all video capture cards ?

Windows has a standard API for that kind of video and audio capture. All webcams use the same. OBS uses this API, so it supports every capture device that implements that standard API.

Thx ,I need a C++ code subroutine how to do that but it is the wrong forum for that, I am afraid.
