The MontiVision Workbench
The application window
Click to enlarge
The main application window contains the following items:
| Menubar | The top of the window contains a menu which provides access to all available commands. |
| Toolbar | Under the menu is a toolbar with icons for direct access to the most used and important commands. |
| Filterbar | The filter bar on the left of the application window contains buttons for the five main filter categories into which all available filters are sorted according to their function. |
| Filter- and Historybar | The window on the right side contains some tabs with direct show filters and recently used project files. The filters are listed in an sorted list in a grouped tree and in an list with the recently used filters. |
| Statusbar | The status bar at the bottom of the application window contains some information about the application and the current filter graph. |
| Filter Graph | The main area of the application window shows the filter graph. The filter graph represents the imaging system. To create a filter graph select filters from the filter bar and connect theme together. The Start command launches the execution of the graph. |
| Filter Property Dialog | Some filters contain a property dialog allowing exposing the ability to change their behaviour. |
| Output Video Window | The video window shows the final output video stream of the filter graph. |
Create a DirectShow Filter Graph using the MontiVision Workbench
The easiest way to create a new filter graph is to use the filter graph wizard function from the workbench. With this wizard you could create a complete filter graph. Look at this page to learn more about this topic.
How to use the Workbench
- How to insert a filter
- How to make a connection between two filters
- How to change filter properties
- How to get media types of a pin or connection
- How to delete a connection
- How to delete a filter
- How to find a filter
- How to select a filter, pin or connection
- How to make a video visible

MontiVision Workbench Commands
Additional Functions
- Starting MV Cam
Calib application to get camera parameter for the MV Camera
Undistortion filter.
- Blob
Editor to setup MV
Blob Finder and MV
Blob Counter filter.
- Import a Filter
Graph from an external application. This function is very
useful for debugging applications.
- Start the MV System Info apllication for getting information about your system for support requests.
Available DirectShow® Filters
The MontiVision Workbench application sorts all available Direct Show® filters into five filter bars, all found on the left hand side. The filters are sorted into different categories. To find out more about filter sorting look at the Sorting Filter.
