Computer Vision toolbox streaming functionality

Hi

I'm interested in streaming a video out of Simulink over a LAN. Its mentioned in the Computer vision toolbox v4.0 datasheet under the Video I/O that "You can stream video to and from MMS sources over the Internet or a local network".

I went across all the toolbox blocks and I couldn't find any block that supports this feature.

Would you please point me to the right block/function that enables streaming a video out of Simulink on a LAN?

Kind regards,

Mohamad

It looks like the From Multimedia File block supports MMS sources. From the documentation for the block dialog parameter File name: "On Windows platforms, this parameter supports URLs that point to MMS (Microsoft Media Server) streams." You should also be able to write to an MMS stream using the To Multimedia File block.

Thanks Kaustubha

Yes indeed, as you said I used a URL file name with the To Media File block, but the streaming is in no way a real-time stream. If the reader buffering is less than 5 seconds the resulting stream is unreliable.

Is there any other way that could do it in real-time?

Cheers,

Mohamad

I am also looking for the same topic, i want to model a live video streaming system.The video is taken from a usb camera and the live recording video is transmitted to the receiver by using the Ethernet module .The transmission should be from one pc and receiving in the other pc. The real-time video streaming should be carried out and the buffering time should be less if the buffer time increases the streaming goes unreliable.

Is there a way to do live video streaming over the network and receive at the other pc. can any one help me out with a detailed answer by using the matlab code or simulink blocks because I didn't know how to initialize the live streaming.I know the from multimedia block in simulink and next what would be the connected block process. I would be glad if there is swift reply...
