Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with camera using its vendor SDK. To be able to connect with camera it is required to install AVT FirePackage SDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

AVT FirePackage SDK can be downloaded from following website: www.alliedvisiontec.com.

Recommended AVT FirePackage SDK version for Adaptive Vision Studio usage is v3.1.

Camera identification

When there is only one camera connected with computer field inDeviceGUID can be set to Auto. In this situation first available camera will be found and connected.

inDeviceGUID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to computer. In this situation, inDeviceGUID should be set to device GUID number.

Camera parameters

Most of parameters exposed by camera filters are optional, setting them to 'Auto' leaves related parameter for automatic configuration by camera driver.

To change other and more advanced camera parameters use configuration tool "AVT SmartView" available with AVT FirePackage SDK. Refer to SDK documentation to find information about parameters and how to save parameters into memory channels.
