ActiveSDK Software Development Kit

ActiveSDK is designed for OEMs and integrators using FireBird frame grabbers. It contains comprehensive example applications and optimized libraries for a variety of operating systems. The API (application programming interface) is consistent across operating systems and hardware platforms allowing easy migration.

ActiveSDK provides components to develop applications using:

• PHX library (PHX) – provides setup, acquisition and control features.
• Active Display Library (ADL) – allows captured buffers to be displayed easily (Windows only).
• Active Image Processing Library (TMG) – provides image file open/save, image format conversion (e.g. Bayer to RGB), JPEG compression and other image processing functions.
• Active Browser – provides a widget that can display any number of GenApi nodemaps, each in their own tab. The Active Browser library also provides a way to integrate the widget within an MFC program (Windows only).
• GenTL Producer – GenICam compliant driver package.
• GPUDirect for Video™ – accelerated acquisition and processing, including DMA directly to the GPU.

The core libraries provide a highly optimized, efficient and reliable environment for the development of very high-speed and demanding image applications. Comprehensive documentation is provided for all parts of the SDK, including Developer’s Guides and application examples with full source code.

Supported Development Environments
