SplitCam
-
Version
3.0
SplitCam virtual video capture driver allows for
connecting several applications to a single video
capture source. For example, if you have a web-camera
connected to your computer you cannot use it in more
than one application at the same time - there’s no
standard Windows options that would make it possible.
SplitCam does just what its name says: it splits the
video stream coming from the video source and
provides it to other client applications. With
SplitCam you can connect up to 64 clients to a single
video source.Usually after installing a video capture
device, like web-camera, dv-camera, TV-tuner, or a TV-
IN video card, you can only connect to it from one
Windows application. If you start another application
and try to use the same video source you’ll get an
error message complaining about the device being
already in use. In this case you have no choice but
to wait for the first application to finish its work,
or quit the thought of using the second application
at all. Sometimes it may be absolutely necessary or
most advisable to use, say, your web-camera in more
than one client application at the same time. What if
you want to conduct a video conference with several
people independently? Or you want to record your
video-chat using your favorite video capture software?
That’s where SplitCam can become of great help! All
you have to do is just install the SplitCam software
on your computer, connect it to a video source, and
connect other applications to the SplitCam virtual
capture device. It will look exactly like you have 64
independent video source plugged in to your computer!
