Description

LckMonitor is a Unity MonoBehaviour implementing ILckMonitor that acts as a display surface for LCK camera output. It auto-registers with the LCK system on enable, provides a RenderTexture output from connected LckCamera instances, and raises an event whenever a new texture is assigned — so you can pipe the capture preview onto any in-game screen, UI element, or 3D mesh.

​
Usage

Use LckMonitor when you need to show the camera preview in your scene. Add it to a GameObject, then subscribe to OnRenderTextureSet to apply the texture wherever you need it. 
using Liv.Lck;
using UnityEngine;

public class MonitorExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Renderer _screenRenderer;
    [SerializeField] private LckMonitor _lckMonitor;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _lckMonitor.OnRenderTextureSet += HandleRenderTextureSet;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _lckMonitor.OnRenderTextureSet -= HandleRenderTextureSet;
    }

    private void HandleRenderTextureSet(RenderTexture rt)
    {
        // Apply the LCK render texture to a material on a screen mesh
        _screenRenderer.material.mainTexture = rt;
    }
}
