MediaBlocks Motion Detection

The MediaBlocks features page says that MotionBlocks supports motion detection. However, the online help for MediaBlocks does not have a topic regarding this. I do see it for the Video Capture SDK, but not MediaBlocks.
Is motion supported? If so, how do I get started?
I don't know if I'm missing something, if the online help is missing something, or if the features page is incorrect.

Hi
Yes, our document is not full sometimes. I'm sorry.
You can use the CVMotionCellsBlock, like:
private CVMotionCellsBlock _motionCells;
and
_motionCells = new CVMotionCellsBlock(new CVMotionCellsSettings());
_motionCells.MotionDetected += _motionCells_MotionDetected;
_pipeline.Connect(_videoSource.Output, _motionCells.Input);
_pipeline.Connect(_motionCells.Output, _videoRenderer.Input);
VisioForge.CrossPlatform.OpenCV.Windows.x64 NuGet package is required. SDK can use OpenCV.

Ater a long delay I am now trying this. I did add the nuget package referenced above (and after failure everything else with VisioForge and OpenCV in the name). If I call CVMotionCellsBlock.IsAvailable() it returns false and I get " [CVMotionCellsBlock][Build] Unable to build CVMotionCellsBlock" failures.
Is there another package I'm missing? Do I need a non-VisioForge package? If I need a non-VisioForge package it is unclear which one.

I guess I sort of figured it out. I had forgotten to add a NullRenderBlock and output the CV block to the null renderer. The strange thing was that for about 30 straight tries IsAvailable() returned false. After I added the null renderer and ran that way once IsAvailable decided to return true every time. I don't think that this is just my imagination.
