26 Oct 2007 Alrad Imaging has announced the introduction of a universal Software Development Kit for GigE Vision™ compliant cameras from A&B Software. Responding to the high demands for a universal Software Development Kit for GigE Vision™ compliant cameras, A&B Software has released the new ActiveGigE SDK. The SDK provides developers and end-users with an immediate access to multiple GigE Vision™ cameras through a simple drop of ActiveX objects on an application surface. The ActiveX-interface guarantees a quick and easy integration into virtually any programming environment including C++, C#, VB6, VB.NET, Delphi, Java, Matlab.
The SDK offer comprehensive property dialogs with a full control over the camera attributes. Among other features are: Bayer and YUV color interpolation, AVI and image recording, instance access to image buffers and pixels, real-time image processing, color overlays of graphics and text, image flipping and rotation, anti-tearing, histogram and statistical calculations, built-in background correction. Included 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 highly optimized 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&B's President and Director of Software Development. "Those SDK 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".
A&B Software is a leading provider of the end-user and custom imaging software including a highly-acclaimed series of ActiveX-based SDKs for 1394, GigE Vision™ and Camera Link™ industrial and scientific digital cameras.
