Overlays and Drawing Tools for Broadcasters

#1

Post by HeartOfTexas »

Hi. As you may know SharpCap is used by many people to do live broadcasts on sites like Nightskiesnetwork.com

There are a few features from other programs that would be helpful for broadcasters.

The first is a basic drawing pen to point out objects on the image.

The second would be information overlays like camera type, object name, date/time, exposure countdown, etc. These are already available but they are outside the image area. An option to show them on top of the image would be nice.

Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion - I can see the sense in both of these ideas. SharpCap 3.1 is now closed to new features, so I'm afraid these will have to wait for at least version 3.2. In the meantime, it may be possible to highlight places on the screen using the reticule tool from the toolbar.

cheers,

Robin
