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.
