VideoAcq: multicamera video acquisition with build-in LSL synchronization

Features

Supports any number of cameras as long as they are OpenCV compatible.
Uses LSL to synchronize the acquired frames opening one LSL outlet per camera.
Saves the acquired frames to disk using the Xvid codec.
Additional compression can be achieved on Linux systems upon closing the app by using the ffmpeg software to automatically convert the files saved in .avi to .ogv.

Authors

This app was created and is maintained by engineers and scientists at NEATLabs, University of California San Diego, and is part of a wider suite of programs created for supporting closed-loop brain-machine interfaces for human and animal subjects.

Wiki features

This wiki uses the Markdown syntax. The MarkDownDemo tutorial shows how various elements are rendered. The Bitbucket documentation has more information about using a wiki.

The wiki itself is actually a git repository, which means you can clone it, edit it locally/offline, add images or any other file type, and push it back to us. It will be live immediately.

Go ahead and try:

$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/neatlabs/videoacq.git/wiki

Wiki pages are normal files, with the .md extension. You can edit them locally, as well as creating new ones.

Syntax highlighting

You can also highlight snippets of text (we use the excellent Pygments library).

Here's an example of some Python code:

#!python

def wiki_rocks(text):
    formatter = lambda t: "funky"+t
    return formatter(text)

You can check out the source of this page to see how that's done, and make sure to bookmark the vast library of Pygment lexers, we accept the 'short name' or the 'mimetype' of anything in there.

Have fun!
