Re: paper: How to Get Multiple Cameras on Robot

A few other things about VideoLAN that might be relevant to using it like this:

Here's a way to overlay something on the video (like the privacy filter on the Axis cameras):

Here's a way to 'float' the video without the frames in an overlay.

If you dig around in VideoLAN you'll also find that you can basically control all it's functions remotely from devices that can't even run VideoLAN itself. For example it can run a telnet server you can connect to and issue it directions.

Re: paper: How to Get Multiple Cameras on Robot

What kind of lag can be seen when adding a second camera? Is there a significant difference in your first camera when the second one is added? Is it a good idea to add a second camera, or will it tax the control system too much?

Assuming that you are only using the 2nd camera to display on the DS, the only thing it stresses is the driver station computer. Based on my experience, the classmate can't handle two cameras without degradation. By default, everything degrades equally (both camera's and robot communication). The easiest solution is to use a more capable laptop.
