Datapath Vision series capture plugin for OBS
Licence: GNU GPLv2
This is a native capture plugin leveraging the RGBEasy API instead of DirectShow. When using hardware accelerated capture, it captures quite a bit faster than OBS' native Device Source, and uses no extra CPU. Additionally, it offers many handy features unique to the RGBEasy API, like automatically changing the capture resolution when the input resolution changes.
The plugin is heavily based off of Jim's DirectShow plugin (as it was the only plugin available to me at the time). Thanks, Jim!
It has so far only been tested with the VisionRGB-E2s, but it should be compatible with the following cards:
Datapath VisionAV / EMS XtremeRGB-Hdv2
Datapath VisionDVI-DL / EMS XtremeDVI-DualLink
Datapath VisionRGB-E1s / EMS XtremeRGB-Ex1
Datapath VisionRGB-E2s / EMS XtremeRGB-Ex2
Datapath VisionRGB-PRO2 / EMS PhynxRGB
Datapath VisionRGB-X2 / EMS XtremeRGB-II
Datapath VisionSD4+1S / EMS XtremeRGB-Ex4+
Datapath VisionSD8 / EMS XtremeRGB-Ex8
Datapath VisionSDI2 / EMS XtremeSDI-2
