The Videoscan software is a small tool written in C# for generating a white scan line with a videoprojector. 

Main features are :
  * fully integrated with DAVID-Laserscanner via com0com
  * moving horizontal line generation
  * main screen dimmer to prevent scene parasitic lighting
  * automated multiple-scans
  * external scene light driving via the DTR line of a serial port

This software is completely inspired from Magweb's "linescan3" (see [[magweb/downloads|Magweb page]]).

I have written this new software because I wanted to automate the scan of my head with multiple angles in one session !

The setup of DAVID-Laserscanner and com0com is the same as for "linescan3".

Videoscan can be downloaded here : [[http://www.teaser.fr/~frible/VideoScan/setup.exe]] (This in now a ClickOnce deployment with automatic software update)


== NOTE, by Mattia: ==
If you have 64Bit O.S., like Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7, the file //com0com.sys// will not load by default.\\
To be able to scan with VideoScan, after the //com0com// installation, open your Windows' "Run" command or the DOS Prompt, and enter this command:\\
**bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON**\\
After, reboot your computer.\\
Now you are able to use VideoScan with David Laser Scanner.
