[PB 4.60] GUI-Wired Nodes Camera filter test

Hello,
For my CNC machine,
I'm writing a new CAD/CAM software.
In a part of it I need 4 cameras for control the process.
I'm developing a new GUI Wired nodes window for visualizing some data.
Sorry I used ScrollArea so I needed to glue it with GIMP.
Q1) How can I connect 4 cameras to my PC - WIN XP SP2 (32bits) - PB 4.60 ?
Q2) See image, what is best result, first Brightness/Contrast/Gamma and then RGB Control
or switch these controls ?
Thanks,
Marc

...wouldn't four USB cameras work on one PC? I think it could be done, but the best place to ask would be the camera manufacturer's website/tech support/forum.
I think I would prefer to see all the controls for one camera in one GUI box.

someone recently posted a link to a webcam dll that could handle multiple cameras
though you may also be able to use opencv

hi,
@IdeasVacuum
I have already 8, secondhand B&W industrial sony cameras (PAL interface)
with special lenses, so ...
I found some PC PCI cards for connect 4 PAL cameras on it.
The only thing now is to communicate with the card.
@idle
thanks for the link, i gone read the article...
I will see with opencv

Have you looked at National Instruments acquisition libs?
They'll probably have what you need and then maybe you can find a free alternative

well I don't know if that will help or just waste time.
you'll have better luck with googling the cards and their chipsets
I like your gui interface!

Ah, you could have given that detailed info in your first post
So, you have something similar to this:
http://www.kgbcameras.co.uk/cameras/dvr.htm
The manufacturer should be identified on the card, and hopefully you will find a link to their API/SDK on their website. Many of the manufacturers are Chinese/Taiwanese, so if you cannot navigate their website, let me know the web address and I will take a look for you.

Hello,
I love your inferface!
For a long time, I'm looking for an example of this.
Is it possible to have a code snippet to see how you manage it ?
Bye
