VideoCog .NET Control

Add digital video to any .NET application instantly. The VideoCog control is a Windows Forms control that simplifies digital video processing for the developer. As a .NET component, developers can now simply drag-and-drop the VideoCog onto their VB.NET or C# application.

The VideoCog simplifies the video processing pipeline.

The VideoCog's architecture combines the performance of a low level native C++ library with the interoperability and flexibility of a .NET assembly.
