Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install Vimba SDK software.

Vimba SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software.html

To verify the driver installation, you can run Vimba Viewer. If the camera was detected and you can see the view from the camera, you can use Vimba SDK in Aurora Vision Studio.

Recommended Vimba SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 6.0.

When there is only one Allied Vision camera connected, the field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this situation, the first available camera will be used.

inDeviceID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to the computer. inDeviceID should be set to camera ID.
