+===== Video =====
-The video program simply displays raw video without any processing.
+The video program displays video -- simple!  It can also be used to get red, green and blue pixel values of specified locations within the video images.  Check out the [[wiki:v2:video_api|video API]] for more details.

+We noticed that several Pixy1 users were using Pixy to just sense color values, but using the color connected components algorithm to do so.
+ To make these kinds of color sensing applications easier (we're talking to you, Rubik's cube solvers!), we added the [[wiki:v2:video_api|getRGB()]] function to the video program.  We won't be giving any TED talks on this feature, but we hope it's useful. :)
+Note, [[wiki:v2:pixymon_overview|PixyMon]] displays the x, y mouse location in image coordinates in the lower right corner of the main window to help determine the coordinates to request from getRGB().
