I would like to know how OpenCV does to find devices that it can read from? Can OpenCV only read from usb devices?
I have a video acquisition card (BlackMagic Intensity) and I until now used the blackMagic's SDK to retrieve the stream coming from the input port on the card, and converted it to a cv::Mat that I then use in my code. But can't I not develop some kind of C++ plugin for OpenCV so that I can use VideoCapture to access my blackMagic stream? wouldn't it be a cleaner way of doing this?
Hope you can help
