Camera preview #36

Open waveform80 opened 9 years ago

waveform80 commented 9 years ago

It would be useful (especially in the GUI, but also in the protocol generally) to permit a live feed from an individual camera for calibration and configuration. This'll require adding commands to the protocol to start and stop the preview, and should probably work something along the lines of the SEND command (in terms of port selection and subsequent connections, but obviously without an automatic cut-off).

Not sure what format the preview should be (H264? MJPEG stream? JPEG frames separated out from such a stream?) - this'll probably depend on what we can display easily in Qt. It'd be especially useful if the preview could appear as an integral part of the configuration dialog but we'll have to see about that nearer the time.
