Hello,

I would like to know if there is any way to get CVB handled cameras into gstreamer-1.0 as it would be great to have the camera stream to the gstreamer pipeline.

Best regards

Hi @e-sensiaOB,  
We do not have a direct interface to gstreamer.  
What you can do is to access the image data and copy it to the memory layout needed for gstreamer or if possible use the existing data as raw pointer using our linear access functionality and feed it to a gstreamer appsrc.

This is a documentation for interfacing CVB to 3rd Part imaging libraries:  
[Common Vision Blox: Interfacing CVB to 3rd Party Imaging Libraries](https://help.commonvisionblox.com/NextGen/14.1/md_theory_of_operation_appnotes __c_v_b__ interfacing_to_3rd_party_imaging_libraries.html)

this describes how to feed data into a gstreamer pipeline using appsrc:
