Here is an overview of our currently available SDKs (Software Development Kits) including IEEE 1394 and GigE Vision drivers. All SDKs from Allied Vision Technologies and Prosilica are available for download free of charge.
Please select a software package to access the download page where you can find the file itself as well as the relevant literature.
FireWire IEEE 1394 and GigE
The AVT Universal Package is designed to operate with all IEEE 1394 and GigE Vision compliant cameras from AVT. Thereby, the development of high performance applications and simplified control of the powerful AVT camera Smart Features stands in the focus of this SDK.
FireWire IEEE 1394
The AVT 1394 Bus Driver eliminates the existing speed limitations of the original Windows driver. This enables AVT 1394b cameras to run also at S800 data rate (800 MBit/s) under Windows Vista and XP (SP2/SP3).
The AVT FirePackage gives 100% control of the 1394 bus. This package includes a viewer application, which gives easy access and instant control of the camera's Smart Features - without any programming.
The AVT Active FirePackage focuses on ActiveX control based programming, but the package also provides interfaces for DirectShow and TWAIN. It includes an IEEE 1394 camera system driver that is based on the Windows Driver Model (WDM).
The AVT Direct FirePackage is based on the Windows Driver Model (WDM) and DirectX. A TWAIN data source allows the simple integration of AVT cameras into numerous image processing programs. It includes a WDM streaming class driver.
The sources provided with the AVT Fire4Linux package are portable to all Linux distributions. To ease the use of this SDK especially for Linux beginners, the package supports also the standard packet managers of (open) SUSE and Red Hat/Fedora distributions.
GigE Vision
The GigE SDK interface supports all GigE Vision cameras from Prosilica. The PvAPI driver interface is a user DLL which communicates with NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) and kernel drivers.
Prosilica's Sample Viewer program is an application that allows users to operate Prosilica's GigE cameras and to explore camera features right out of the box. The complete source code for the Sample Viewer is included in Prosilica's GigE SDK so that programmers can use the Sample Viewer as a starting point for developing their own vision applications.
The Linux SDK and Sample Viewer program allows users to control and capture images from Prosilica's GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet cameras operating in a Linux environment on either an Intel x86 (32- and 64-bit), PowerPC (32-bit), and ARM processors (little endian). The SDK includes sample code to allow programmers to integrate Prosilica's cameras into their Linux-based applications.
The GigE camera OS X SDK and Sample Viewer program allows users to control and capture images from Prosilica's GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet cameras operating on an Apple Mac OS X computer. The SDK includes sample code to allow programmers to integrate Prosilica's cameras into their Mac-based applications.
Prosilica's QNX SDK allows users to control and capture images from Prosilica's GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet cameras operating in a QNX environment. The SDK includes sample code to allow programmers to integrate Prosilica's cameras into their QNX-based applications.
