SCCToolkit is our extension to OpenCV and Qt widget with following features;

1. Capture classes to replace cv::VideoCapture class in OpenCV. It supports USB cameras and HDTV video capture devices  (Blackmagic Design). The new classes have the following features.
   • Hot plug/unplug of cameras (OpenCV’s cv::VideoCapture is not so).
   • Cameras are recognized by hardware unique indices (OpenCV’s camera indices are dependent to connection order etc., unpredictable and confusing).
   • Sampling timer, either by camera’s frame rate or by software timer (OpenCV sample codes often use for-loop).
2. OS X’s CoreImage framework (CIImage class) support.
3. Extension of Qt widget class that can accept OpenCV’s cv::Mat and CIImage formats.
4. Multi-thread support. We use lib dispatch (GCD) on OS X.

Supported OS and Prerequisite

• Currently, SCCToolKit runs only on OS X 10.7 to 10.11 (working to support for latest OS).
• Apple’s Xcode app [Apple].
• OpenCV version 2.4 or later [download].
• Qt 4.7 or later. [download] (Qt 5 is not tested).
• Decklink SDK version 9.0 or later. [download]
• Cmake is used to build SCCToolKit. [download]

Future Plans

• Windows support.
• Web-App based iOS/Android device UI.
• Custom startup process for better cybersecurity.
