Get camera fps in a script ?

[Jean-Francois]

Hello Robin,

Is it possible to get the actual fps value of the camera in a script ?

Hi Jean Francois,

there's no way to ask SharpCap for it, but you could intercept the FrameCaptured event on the camera and calculate it yourself. Some discussion of handling the event here :

Hello Robin,

Concerning the fps value in a script ... I found a way to have it ...

Code: Select all

import os
import time

CameraSettingFile = SharpCap.Settings.CreateCameraSettingsFile

if (CameraSettingFile == False):
    SharpCap.Settings.CreateCameraSettingsFile = True
    SharpCap.Settings.Save()

SharpCap.SelectedCamera.PrepareToCapture()
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.RunCapture()

time.sleep(3)

SharpCap.SelectedCamera.StopCapture()
SharpCap.ShowNotification(None)

file = SharpCap.GetLastCaptureFilename()
file_settings = os.path.splitext(file)[0] + ".CameraSettings.txt"

with open(file_settings, 'r') as fp:
    for l_no, line in enumerate(fp):
        if "ActualFrameRate" in line:
            break

parts = line.split("=")[1]
framerate = float(parts.split("f")[0])
print framerate

if (CameraSettingFile == False):
    SharpCap.Settings.CreateCameraSettingsFile = False
    SharpCap.Settings.Save()

try:
    os.remove(file)
    os.remove(file_settings)
except:
    print "No file to delete"

The script starts a capture of a film.
It opens the CameraSettings.txt file and search the line with "ActualFrameRate".
It works fine and it takes in account all the transfer from the camera to the disc.
