11.5.1. Introduction

If you need to process the video inputs (e.g. camera calibration, filtering, 3D reconstruction…) or modify the videos being displayed (camera distortion compensation, overlays, messages…) you will need to put a PC in the middle of the video pipeline. In this case, the main 3 “components” on the PC are:

  • Frame grabbers

  • Software

  • Video output (most likely a graphic card with 2 extra outputs for HRSV)
