Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with a camera using its vendor SDK. To be able to connect to a camera, it is required to install MVGESDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

MVGESDK can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.microview.com.cn (registration may be required).

Recommended MVGESDK version for FabImage Studio usage is 2.8.

Add DLL path to system environment variable may be required.

Camera identification

When there is only one camera connected to a computer, field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this case, first available camera will be found and connected.

inDeviceID field can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to computer. DeviceID can be set to:

• Device number - should be specified on device casing.

Camera parameters

Setting inJumboFrameSupport parameter to 'true' will select maximum possible camera package size.

Setting inRescanNeeded parameter to 'true' will rescan network to search new cameras.

All the other parameters exposed by camera filters are optional, setting them to 'Auto' leaves related parameter unchanged in camera (device default or user set configuration).

This function is not guaranteed to be thread-safe. When used in multithreaded environment, it has to be manually synchronized.
