Can I put overlays on top of the video in AXIS Media Control?
Some options:
- Use overlays on your camera to burn-in e.g. date and time information in the video. Use VAPIX to control this from your application.
- You can, of course, put a Window control on top of AMC, which typically will be an opaque, rectangular overlay. Complex forms and transparency are not supported by this method.
- AMC SDK supports two APIs for overlaying graphics in video. For more information, see the chapter: ‘AMC Usage’ -> ‘Drawing’.
