CMOS image sensors provide versatile solution
The DLIS-2K and 4K sensors consist of four independently selectable and resettable rows with 2080 or 4096 optical each and a high-resolution mode of 4160 or 8192 pixels, respectively.
Frame grabbers suit varied cameras
The Alta frame grabbers are flexible PCI Express bus imaging products, supported by an easy to use SDK and drivers for most popular software imaging packages.
The ActiveX-interface guarantees a quick and easy integration into virtually any programming environment including C++, C#, VB6, VB.NET, Delphi, Javaand Matlab.
The SDK offer comprehensive property dialogues with a full control over the camera attributes.
It also offers Bayer and YUV colour interpolation, AVI and image recording, instance access to image buffers and pixels, real-time image processing, colour overlays of graphics and text, image flipping and rotation, anti-tearing, histogram and statistical calculations, built-in background correction.
Twain and DirectShow drivers provide plug and play compatibility with third-party imaging and video recording applications.
Provided with ActiveGigE are multiple code samples in different programming languages.
ActiveGigE is optimised for speed and fine-tuned to a number of popular camera models.
"Before the release of ActiveGigE, software developers had to rely on the SDKs provided by camera manufacturers", says Boris Nalibotski, A and B's President and Director of Software Development.
"Those SDKs would only work with specific camera lines and typically require expert-level programming".
"With ActiveGigE, it literally takes minutes to develop a simple application for any GigE Vision camera while having very basic programming skills".
