GigE Vision Server from Stemmer Imaging

CVB GigE Vision Server

When people talk about software for GigE Vision cameras they are usually referring to the drivers required for image capture. Now, Stemmer Imaging is turning the tables by offering an innovative GigE Vision Server for Common Vision Blox (CVB) for the first time in its v10 release.

With its independent imaging libraries, Common Vision Blox has, for some time, offered the most comprehensive and powerful implementation of the GigE Vision and GenICam standards. The key differentiator of CVB is that it is independent of camera manufacturer. This gives developers the freedom to move between Adept's full portfolio of cameras without having to change SDK’s and without paying for an SDK licence. FREE 14 day trial available.

With the new GigE Vision Server, a suitably equipped computer behaves like a complete GigE Vision and GenICam compatible camera, with freely configurable features. As one would expect, Stemmer Imaging’s CVB remains true to the principle of hardware independence. The data output by the CVB GigE Vision Server conforms to the GigE Vision and GenICam standards and is therefore compatible with any standards compliant software interfaces from other providers.

CVB GigE Vision Server opens up completely new areas of opportunity for imaging. At its most basic level, images can be transferred from a hard disk or from any CVB compatible imaging hardware, via a network interface, thus making use of the benefits offered by simplified GigE Vision cabling. In this way, GigE Vision cameras can be simulated alongside any CVB compatible imaging technologies.

Even more complex applications have already been implemented, such as local pre-processing of image data using a GigE Vision Server PC and distributed computing across full MultiCast server solutions; neither presenting any difficulties for Common Vision Blox. Customised remote control of the GigE Vision Server plus the acquisition implemented on it, are provided by the freely configurable GenICam features found in CVB GigE Vision Server.

CVB now offers full support for the 32-bit version of Windows VISTA. Version 10 also complies with Microsoft’s OS design rules for genuine VISTA support and features a brand new, highly optimised installation routine. With this latest GigE Vision Server innovation, Stemmer Imaging once again underlines the flexibility and power of the Common Vision Blox library. And of course, with this implementation, users continue to benefit from Stemmer Imaging's commitment to the GigE Vision and GenICam standards.
