FlyCapture 2.0 is the latest version of Point Grey's image-acquisition and camera-control library. A key feature of the new release is cross-platform support for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Ubuntu Linux operating systems using a common API (application programming interface).
The FlyCapture SDK (software development kit) offers a simplified object-oriented interface and a new HAL (hardware abstraction layer) the enables seamless connection of any Point Grey FireWire or USB 2.0 camera to a host system. The HAL also allows FlyCapture to work with future Point Grey Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 products.
FlyCapture now supports Version 1.32 of the IIDC 1394-based digital camera specification set, providing such functions as frame buffering and lookup tables, as well as thunking, which allows applications built using the 32-bit versions of the SDK to communicate with cameras that run on 64-bit operating systems. In addition, a translation layer is available that allows existing FlyCapture 1.8-based applications to run in the 2.0 interface.
The FlyCapture 2.0 SDK comes free with every Point Grey camera. It supports ActiveX, TWAIN, and DirectShow. FlyCapture also includes the FirePRO low-level 1394b interface driver, which enables users to grab images at full 800-Mbps transfer rates. A complete software API library, ready-to-use demo programs, and source-code examples enable users to build custom imaging applications.
