Was handed a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema USB 2.0 web cam and have successfully written a capture and display graph in C++. Also a TransInPlace filter and am using OpenCV for arbitrary image rotation. This is something I've wanted to do for years.
Platform: Windows 7, Visual Studio 2019 Community. Installed SDK 7.1, compiled BaseClasses.
Now I would like to see what interfaces are available and have been scouring the net for the DirectShow SDK for this camera (based on an NX-6000). Microsoft offers "LifeCam3.60.exe" (a 22M download) and, of course, that was installed. But I don't see any header files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft LifeCam .
There are hints of the SDK being on a CD and that didn't come with the hand-off. Nor do I find either the SDK or an ISO of the CD for download.
Could someone point me to where that SDK could be downloaded or purchased?
Thanks.

In general Windows SDK, there are DirectShow and Microsoft Media Foundation - Audio/Video Capture for supporting video capture programming. However, if you are looking for a specified SDK for Microsoft Lifecam cinema you may contact your local distributor for help.

2020-09-07T20:16:40.963+00:00 Hello RitaHan -
I am aware that Win7 support ended 1/14/2020. Some software I'm using, unfortunately, resists running under Windows 10, the vendor isn't interested in updating the product, and I'm a little stuck.
I'm interested in the LifeCam Cinema as that's what I have attached to the computer. It does work well under Windows 10 (on a laptop, not the computer used for tinkering).
I believe my local distributor is MIcro Center in Cambridge, MA. Will have a chat with their technical support team. Wished the SDK was available from Microsoft.
Thank you for your time. Perhaps another at Microsoft has a pointer to the desired file? Will keep my eyes open. Thanks again. --Mark

winapi-audio-videotag is for "Questions about developing with MCI, Video for Windows, Active Movie, WaveIn/Out, DirectSound, Direct Show, WASAPI, and Media Foundation using Win32 API" in general Windows SDK. SDK for LifeCam Cinema related is not supported on Microsoft Q&A so I'll set this question a "not-supported" tag. You can refer to "Supported products" for more detailed information. Feel free to ask a question about any product listed.
