Specifying Video Sources
To specify the video source in an IMDF file, use the Source
element. A Source
node can only be the child of the IMDF root element
and it cannot have any child nodes of its own.
When you create a Source
node, you must specify values for two
attributes: name
and id
. In the
name
attribute, you specify the name of the source as it appears
in the video source object's Name
property. The id
is typically set to some value that is recognized by the vendor's SDK. The
id
is only used by the adaptor and needs only to be unique
between sources.
The following example outlines how to create a Source
node. The
words in italics represent text you define.
