| Platform SDK: Broadcast Architecture |
To display video from a broadcast channel specified by the user, your application can do one of two things. It can assign the specified channel to the device that was set as the input source for video as described in Setting Video Input.
In either case, the result is that a tuning device tunes to the channel and the received video appears on the display surface of the Microsoft® ActiveX® control for video (the Video control). The following topics describe these two ways of tuning to a channel:
If the input source is a tuner, you can set the BPCVid object's VideoOn property in your application to either TRUE or FALSE to display video or to stop video from displaying. To stop a tuner from sending video, your application calls the BPCVid object's Close method.
