title: Streaming Video to PC in HD 60 fps
body: <p>I am working on my final project in Software Engineering B.Sc. Our project includes tracking a ball in Foosball game. Actually with the size of the Foosball table I will need at least HD 1080p format (1920x1080 pixels) camera and because of the high speed I will also need 60 fps. </p>
  
  <p>I will use OpenCV opensource to write code in C/C++ and detect a ball on each received frame.</p>
  
  <p>So here is my issue: I need to get steam from the HD camera with 60fps, Wide-angled.</p>
  
  <p>I can't use a web-cam because it will not give me HD format with 60fps
  (webcams can't do this, even expensive Logitech or Microsoft while it is written on the package - actually they mean that it can be low resolution with 60 fps OR HD with 30 fps) Also it is not wide-angled.</p>
  
  <p>On the other hand I would like to use a web camera because it is easy to get stream out of it. </p>
  
  <p>The preferred solution is to use extreme camera (something like Go Pro but cheaper version - I have AEE S70 - about 120$) I can use HDMI output of this camera to stream data to PC. But I can't use USB, it will be recognized as a Mass Storage Device. It has micro HDMI output but I have no HDMI Input on my PC.</p>
  
  <p>The question is if it is possible to find some cheap capture device (HDMI->USB3.0/PCI Express) which can stream frames as HD 1080p and 60fps from this extreme camera to PC via HDMI? What device should I use? Maybe you suggest me another camera/or better solution?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
