Overriding a CameraInputSourceComponent

[sebescudie]

Yo,

Let’s say I have a Camera with a CameraInputSourceComponent connected to its Base Components. When doing that, I’m able to retrieve “upstream” the IInputSource of the Window my camera is connected to. Cool.

Now, what if I want to override this IInputSource from downstream? Usecase is : this camera is connected to a SceneTexture, which, I guess, does not have the notion of an IInputSource. This Textureis then composited/blahblah, and displayed on a RenderWindow.

I would like to take the IInputSource of that RenderWindow and “pass it” to my Camera.

So far, I have tried the following :

But it does not seem to do anything. Both the output of GetComponent and the Input Source pad are not null.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks!

Not exactly what you were asking for but is using a SceneWindow also a possibility?

[sebescudie]

A-ha, yes, going top to bottom rather than the other way around could be an option. I’d have to check if can replace the final RenderWindow with a SceneWindow though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Meanwhile, if someone has a clue on doing with the CameraInputSourceComponent I’m all ears :)

You can set the InputSource of the RenderWindow directly as well:

Thanks @tonfilm, the actual setup is a bit more complex but I ended up passing the input source via a pad as you suggested. Not ideal as I would have wanted to go with the components, but that’ll do for now.

Thanks!

Does this work for you?:

Thanks @bjoern, looks like what I tried and did not get any result. Glad to see it’s working in your isolated tests setup, will double-check what could have been wrong in my case.

Cheers!
