    QNX Screen Graphics Subsystem is a graphics framework that provides all the functionality necessary to develop interactive user experiences.
  - Video Capture Developer's Guide
    The video capture framework provides applications the ability to capture frames from a video input source. These frames can be passed to a graphics component such as Screen for display.
    - Using Video Capture
      The video capture framework provides applications the ability to capture frames from a video input source. These frames can be passed to a graphics component such as Screen for display.
    - Video Capture Manager
      The Video Capture manager is based on a client/server model where an application is a client that's requesting capture services from the server (Video Capture manager).
    - Video Capture API (capture.h)
      The video capture API includes all the functions, data structures, and constants needed for video capture. It does not handle video display, which should be handled by another component, such as Screen.
- Programming
- System Security Guide
  The QNX System Security Guide is intended for both system integrators who are responsible for the security of a QNX OS system and developers who want to create a QNX OS resource manager free from vulnerabilities.
