Sample applications

The sample applications in C++ C# and Android demonstrate the core capabilities of the EdgeVis Decoder SDK.

The sample applications ship with the SDK and can be found in the installation directory. The samples are available in Visual Studio 2012 or Android studio for the Android samples. All the samples demonstrate best practice for using the SDK, including the best use of threading and determining user permissions.

General Sample

The General sample application demonstrates the core capabilities of the EdgeVis Decode SDK. This includes:

  • Authenticating and connecting to an EdgeVis Server
  • Receiving Server events callbacks
  • Receiving a list of available Encoders
  • Receiving Encoder events callbacks
  • Opening an Encoder's media stream
  • Receiving video and audio callbacks from the media stream
  • Receiving GPS data from the encoder
  • Opening an encoders PTZ camera and moving the PTZ
  • Show alarm events coming from the encoder

Archive playback sample

The Archive playback sample demonstrates use of the Archive Service. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder and start it's media stream
  • Open the encoders remote archive
  • List the available times on the archive
  • Start an archive playback at a set time
  • Demonstrating trick play use (Pause, Fast forward etc)

Archive file download sample

The Archive file download sample demonstrates the ability to download files from the Edge archive. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder
  • List the available files on the edge archive
  • Download a file from the edge archive and save it to disk

Archive GoP Download sample

The Archive GoP (Group of pictures) download sample demonstrates the ability to download GoP chunks from the Edge archive. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder
  • Listing the available times on the archive
  • Download a section of time from the edge archive as GoP chunks

Full Resolution sample

The Full Resolution sample demonstrates the use of the Full Resolution capability of an encoder. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder and start it's media stream
  • Open the encoders Full Resolution capability
  • Select a frame and begin a Full Resolution download of a section of the image
  • Save off the Full Resolution image to disk as a JPEG

SecureConnect sample

The SecureConnect sample demonstrates opening a SecureConnect channel to an encoder with the capability. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder
  • Open a SecureConnect channel to the encoder

Serial pass thru sample

The Serial pass thru sample demonstrates opening a Serial pass thru channel to an encoder with the capability. The sample will:

  • Authenticate and connect to an EdgeVis Server
  • Open an encoder
  • Open a Serial pass thru channel and allow data to be sent and received from the encoder

Stream Relay Sample

The Stream Relay sample application demonstrates how to handle server and encoder disconnects and reconnects. This includes:

  • Authenticating and connecting to an EdgeVis Server
  • Receiving Server events callbacks
  • Receiving a list of available Encoders
  • Receiving Encoder events callbacks
  • Configuring an Encoder's media stream to output H264 frames
  • Opening an Encoder's media stream when requested
  • Receiving video and audio callbacks from the media stream
  • Responding to server disconnected and connected events to reestablish the media stream
  • Responding to encoder disconnected and connected events to reestablish the media stream
