[VideoDeviceIn TOP] Adding ZWO ASI Camera support

I’ve been using ZWO ASI Astronomie cameras a lot recently in some projects.

I was wondering if it could be possible to add these cameras to the devices listed in the VideoDeviceIN Top? I don’t know if a custom TOP would be better due to the amount of parameters exposed. I’ve been looking at creating my own custom TOP OP, but my CPP knowledge is fairly limited.

Thanks!

Oh those are nice cameras! Typically new camera SDKs are only integrated if they are extremely popular cameras (like BlackMagic), or a someone uses their Pro support to get the features added. Pro Support comes with Pro licenses and allows for feature requests that we normally would not schedule such as this.

A Custom TOP is a good way to approach it.
I also noticed in the plugin section there is a DirectShow Driver here Software - Discovery Astrophotography with ZWO ASTRO under ‘Others>Plugin’. Did you give that a try?
