publishImageCapture

Publish Image Capture

This example demonstrates capturing a still of the camera by using the drawImage API of CanvasRenderingContext2D.

Please refer to the Basic Publisher Documentation to learn more about the basic setup.

Example Code

• index.html
• index.js

These examples use the WebRTC-based Publisher implementation from the Red5 Pro HTML SDK. However, there is failover support to allow for Flash-base publisher on unsupported browsers.

Running the Example

Click on the video playback to generate a still image of the video and display it below the video preview.

Using drawImage

function clearCanvas (targetElement, canvasElement) {
  var context = canvasElement.getContext('2d');
  context.fillStyle = '#a1a1a1';
  context.fillRect(0, 0, targetElement.offsetWidth, targetElement.offsetHeight);
}

function drawOnCanvas (targetElement, canvasElement) {
  var context = canvasElement.getContext('2d');
  canvasElement.width = targetElement.offsetWidth;
  canvasElement.height = targetElement.offsetHeight;
  context.drawImage(targetElement, 0, 0, targetElement.offsetWidth, targetElement.offsetHeight);
  }

captureTarget.addEventListener('click', function () {
  clearCanvas(videoElement, canvasElement);
  drawOnCanvas(videoElement, canvasElement);
});
