1080p30 DVI to Flash Player

Question

I have a high-definition video camera which outputs 1080p30 video over a DVI (yes, DVI) cable. Somehow, I need to use this video in a software prototype written with Flash using ActionScript 3. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Right now, I am putting the DVI into a Folsom ImagePro HD and getting composite out to a Pinnacle Dazzle, which in turn is used as a webcam in the Flash Player. This process forces interlacing once the video hits the Dazzle, since the Dazzle only supports 480i. The interlacing looks really bad, especially at one point where I need the video to scale down.

Answer 1

I think your only option is to use somekind of bridge to get the camera to show up as a webcam. It might also be possible to do some sort of local streaming solution, maybe using VLC.

Answer 2

Solution: Apply smoothing to video before scaling it down. This reduces the harsh lines caused by interlacing.
