Record from connected devices

This example shows how to record video streams from a connected Pupil Core headset.

Note

This example requires the dependencies for streaming and recording.

import sys
import logging
import datetime

import pupil_recording_interface as pri

Set Pupil Core generation

Set the generation of your Pupil Core device (1, 2 or 3)

pupil_gen = 2

Set recording folder

folder = f"~/recordings/{datetime.datetime.today():%Y_%m_%d}"

Set up stream configurations

configs = [
    pri.VideoStream.Config(
        device_type="uvc",
        device_uid=f"Pupil Cam{pupil_gen} ID2",
        name="world",
        resolution=(1280, 720),
        fps=30,
        pipeline=[pri.VideoRecorder.Config(), pri.VideoDisplay.Config()],
    ),
    pri.VideoStream.Config(
        device_type="uvc",
        device_uid=f"Pupil Cam{pupil_gen} ID0",
        name="eye0",
        resolution=(320, 240) if pupil_gen == 1 else (192, 192),
        fps=120,
        color_format="gray",
        pipeline=[
            pri.VideoRecorder.Config(),
            pri.VideoDisplay.Config(flip=True),
        ],
    ),
    pri.VideoStream.Config(
        device_type="uvc",
        device_uid=f"Pupil Cam{pupil_gen} ID1",
        name="eye1",
        resolution=(320, 240) if pupil_gen == 1 else (192, 192),
        fps=120,
        color_format="gray",
        pipeline=[pri.VideoRecorder.Config(), pri.VideoDisplay.Config()],
    ),
]

Set up logger

logging.basicConfig(
    stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.INFO, format="%(message)s"
)

Run manager

Note

When running the script from the command line, press ‘Ctrl+C’ to stop the manager. When running from a Jupyter notebook, interrupt the kernel (Kernel > Interrupt Kernel or press ‘Esc’ and then twice ‘i’).

with pri.StreamManager(configs, folder) as manager:
    while not manager.stopped:
        if manager.all_streams_running:
            status = manager.format_status(
                "fps", format="{:.2f} Hz", max_cols=72, sleep=0.1
            )
            print("\r" + status, end="")

print("\nStopped")
