Detailed Description

Provides access to all video sources in the system, and connection stuff for the sources.

VideoService Overview

VideoService provides a simple image stream class to its users, hiding details. VideoService receives images over OpenIGTLink from an external server.

Time synchronization using Network Time Protocol (NTP) and temporal calibration.

cxArchitecture_rtstream.png
VideoService and Video Pipeline

The diagram displays all major classes concerned with realtime streaming. VideoSource is the core interface that provides connection to a realtime streaming source.

VideoSource has to main users: Rendering to screen and recording to disk. VideoGraphics contains the visualization functionality that the Reps uses when rendering in the Views. VideoGraphics needs a Probe to provide position information. Probe also wraps the VideoSource with its own ProbeAdapterVideoSource (using the adapter pattern) in order to add special information not known to the VideoSource, such as pixel spacing. The recording functionality is not shown. VideoSourceRecorder handles this on the basic level.

VideoConnectionManager manages the connection to the streaming source. The implementation class OpenIGTLinkVideoSource uses the OpenIGTLink protocol to receive data over TCP/IP. The actual data retrieval is done in the internal thread class IGTLinkClient.

The OpenIGTLinkRTSource is dependent on an external IGTLink server. Optionally, the VideoConnectionManager can create this server on the local machine.
