ActiveGigE

ActiveGigE is a universal SDK for GigE Vision industrial and scientific cameras. Just drop an ActiveGigE object on the surface of your application and get an immediate access and full control over multiple GigE Vision cameras. With ActiveGigE your application does not have to rely on a specific camera model - any GigE Vision compliant camera will work out-of-the-box in any popular development environment with an unsurpassed performance. The latest addition to ActiveGigE includes the DVR module that offers high-speed video recording and playback, advanced compression settings and many more.

GigESim

GigESim is combination of a GigE Vision software simulator, converter and server. A computer running GigESim presents itself to the network as a real GigE Vision camera with fully adjustable features. The simulator can be used for prototyping a GigE Vision camera as well as performing GigE application development when a camera is not available. GigESim can also convert cameras of different types (USB, 1394, CameraLink) into virtual GigE Vision cameras accessible from any computer on the network, with an ability of a full remote control over camera parameters. Finally, GigESim can be used as a GigE Vision server SDK allowing developers to stream images from their applications to multiple computers for distributed processing and surveillance.

ActiveUSB

ActiveUSB is a hardware-independent SDK which provides developers and end-users with an immediate access to multiple USB3 Vision cameras through a number of programming interfaces. The COM-interface guarantees a quick and easy integration into virtually any programming environment including C++, C#, VB6, VB.NET, Delphi, Java, Python, Matlab, and Labview. The SDK offers comprehensive property dialog boxes with a full control over the camera attributes. Included TWAIN and DirectShow drivers offer a universal plug-and-play interface between USB3 Vision cameras and third-party imaging and video recording applications.

ActiveGeni

ActiveGeni is a new addition to our highly acclaimed series of universal camera SDKs. It provides an interface to any analog or digital video device (cameras, framegrabbers, X-ray detectors etc) as long as the manufacturer of the device offers a GenTL (GeniCam Transport Layer) driver. In addition to GenTL compatible devices, ActiveGeni future releases will also support IIDC-1394, GigE Vision, USB3 and web cameras providing the most universal camera interface in the industrial vision market.
