To get an image from the dashboard to the camera, you simply do an http get to start the mjpg stream. You can alternately request individual jpegs. You can do this in LV with the default dashboard, in Java with smart dashboard. You can also write a C/C++ dashboard, but there are no tools in the kit for doing this -- you can use Microsoft or gcc for PC development.

Thanks for this preliminary information... I think for CD I'll just ask some high top level questions for the good of the group... and figure out the best direction to go.
What I'd like to do is have a solution that many c++ teams can use without needing to write any JAVA code. So I remember the default dashboard having callback tags or something like this, but it sounds like there is no easy way to somehow bridge the callbacks into a c++ environment. Let me know if this is not true... I know for c# it's possible to write bridge code as we do this for our products at work. If it is possible then perhaps we could offer the bridge code for others to use (since everyone gets the default dash board).
Ok so let's look at the C++ dashboard option... I presume this would be something to the effect where it becomes the replacement exe (to replace the default one), and at that point we could easily interface with it. If we went down this route, would it be something we could offer to other teams? I'd be happy to port over the default dashboard from JAVA to c++ for this exe if that sounds like the best direction.
If I can get past this first hurdle... it will help clarify the next step for us. Thanks in advance for helping us out.
