Hardware Software Development Kits (SDKs)

Hardware SDKs
Most manufacturers produce SDK's that function with their own hardware. These control hardware functions and provide a basic method of interfacing with the framegrabber or camera.

Developers who create their own algorithms often require a programming API just for the frame grabber they are using. Firstsight Vision offer API toolkits for all our frame grabbers and we can also offer the CVB Image Manager for truly hardware independent framegrabber control.

Sapera LT (Sapera Lite)

For use with all Coreco framegrabbers except the PC Series

Sapera LT is a subset of Sapera which contains the Basic and the Board-specific modules only with no image processing capabilities. Sapera LT is aimed at developers that have their own image processing libraries and want to interface those libraries to a Sapera compatible frame grabber board. All new framegrabbers and processors will be supported by the board independent environment.

Includes CamExpert and Application Wizard to speed up application development.

Hardware support for all Coreco framegrabbers except the PC series

IFC (Image Foundation Classes)

For use with Coreco's PC Series of framegrabbers

The IFC (Imaging Foundation Classes) library offers a C++ Application Program Interface (API) intended for use with Coreco Imagings standard framegrabber products such as the PC series , Bandit II series and new PC2 series. IFC provides hardware independence and backwards compatibility.

Very comprehensive control library - Individual framegrabber registers can be addressed
