Connecting to Hardware

---

To connect to an image acquisition device from within MATLAB, you must create a video input object. This object represents the connection between MATLAB and the device. You can use object properties to control various aspects of the acquisition. Before you can create the object, you need several pieces of information about the device that you want to connect to.

This chapter describes tasks related to establishing a connection between MATLAB and an image acquisition device. For information about connecting to an image acquisition device from a Simulink model, see Using the From Video Device Block in Simulink.
