iDS deliver state-of-the-art Software Development Kit: iDS Peak

IDS Peak 2.0 is a high performance software development kit for iDS industrial cameras. The platform allows users to capture images for evaluation and also configure cameras in detail without writing code. iDS Peak has long been exclusive to iDS uEye+ models, however the latest release also supports the field-proven iDS uEye cameras and includes a new C-interface - the IDS Peak ComfortC API.

Until now, uEye camera users have used the IDS Software Suite for programming. iDS will continue to support iDS Software Suite but will not continue developing it. Henceforth, iDS Peak is the suitable solution for new projects due to its future-proof attributes.

iDS Peak supports vision standard transport protocols GigE Vision® and USB3 Vision® which enables standardised communication with uEye and uEye+ cameras, ensuring greater compatibility, reproducible operation and stable data transmission in any application. At the same time, this maintains the flexibility and independence of the cameras.

Easy
• Easily understood programming interfaces: C, C++, C# with .NET and Python with identical code base.
• Features facilitate programming, reduce application code, improve readability and enhance camera application quality.
• User-friendly tools, such as the IDS Peak Cockpit, simplify and speed up the preparation of applications.

Comprehensive
• Various application interfaces (C, C++, C# with .NET and Python) for every use case
• Includes many tools, such as the new IDS Peak Cockpit, to set up your cameras even faster and easier
• Many example programs are provided as source code projects for a quick start under Windows and Linux

Versatile
• Supports both the new standard vision uEye+ cameras and your established uEye cameras
• Extends FPGA-less low-cost cameras with additional features
• Integrated image processing functions for frequently needed pixel operations such as debayering, colour and gamma correction, flipping and rotating image data as well as useful automatic modes

Independent
• Independent of specific cameras - IDS Peak supports any uEye and uEye+ camera with any firmware version
• All IDS Peak libraries are available for Windows, Linux and Linux Embedded
• Compiler-independent interfaces simplify the setup of the programming environment and increase compiler compatibility
