Basler BCAM 1394 Driver/SDK

EASY TO INTEGRATE
DRIVER/SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT
FOR BASLER IEEE CAMERAS


The Basler BCAM 1394 Driver/SDK includes a fully functional driver for IEEE 1394 cameras along with a Software Development Kit. When the BCAM 1394 Driver is combined with a Basler IEEE 1394 camera, it offers users a low cost, plug and play solution. Integration is easy and problems with matching cables and creating interface files are eliminated.

The features/benefits of the driver and SDK include:
  • Supports special features on Basler cameras such as test images and shading correction - you have easy access to your camera's complete functionality
  • Includes an integrated camera viewer program that lets you quickly start grabbing images
  • Source code for the viewer program is provided to serve as a reference for your programming tasks
  • Fully documented with a programmers guide, a reference guide, and extensive code samples to help minimize your learning time
  • With the BCAM driver, you receive integrated camera/driver support and avoid the problems normally associated with using a device and a driver from different vendors
  • Includes a high level and a low level interface letting you match your level of driver access to the complexity of your needs
  • C++ source code provided for the user mode

The driver has been extensively tested with a variety of 1394 interface boards to offer you a new level of reliability. You can purchase a Basler 1394 camera and the BCAM 1394 Driver with confidence knowing that they were designed to work together and that support for both is a single phone call away.

BCAM 1394 Driver Version History

V1.0 - Initial release of the driver. Designed for use with Windows 2000 (SP2) only.

V1.5 - Windows XP compatibility added. Various bug fixes were implemented. This version of the driver works with Windows 2000 (SP3) or Windows XP (SP1).

V1.6 - New features were added including a bus topology viewer and a bus access driver. Support for MS Visual Studio.Net was added to the SDK. The documentation was improved significantly. Additional bug fixes were made. This version of the driver works with Windows 2000 (SP3) or Windows XP (SP1).

Programs compiled against earlier versions of the driver must be recompiled against V1.6 to operate properly.

V1.7 - The driver installation package was updated so that the newest models of Basler IEEE 1394 cameras (A102f, A102fc, A600fc, A600-HDR) will be recognized and properly associated with the driver during installation. Small bugs in the BCAM viewer program were fixed. This version of the driver works with Windows 2000 (SP3) or Windows XP (SP1).

This is the first version of the driver that will let you use the "smart features" capabilities on Basler IEEE 1394 cameras that are equipped with smart features. To use smart features, you must install the Smart Features Framework (SFF) software on your computer in addition to the BCAM 1394 driver.

Programs compiled against earlier versions of the driver must be recompiled against V1.7 to operate properly.

V1.8 - Changes were made to buffer handling, bus reset behavior, error handling during bus transactions and in structure and enumeration naming. The BCAM viewer white balance behavior was changed. This version of the driver works with Windows 2000 (SP3 or SP4) or Windows XP (SP1).

This version of the driver will let you use the "smart features" capabilities on Basler IEEE 1394 cameras that are equipped with smart features. To use smart features, you must install the Smart Features Framework (SFF) software on your computer in addition to the BCAM 1394 driver.

Programs compiled against earlier versions of the driver must be recompiled against V1.8 to operate properly.

V1.8 SP1 - Support was added for Windows XP SP2. A DirectShow filter was added that allows DirectShow applications to connect directly to our cameras. Support was added for PCs equipped with multiple processors and hyper threading. Support for memory channels according to the IIDC V1.31 standard was added. The MS Visual Studio.NET versions of the samples and source code can now be compiled against versions 7.0, 7.1 and 7.5 of the Windows Template Library. The driver installation package was updated so that the newest models of Basler IEEE 1394 cameras will be recognized and properly associated with the driver during installation. This version of the driver works with Windows 2000 (SP3 or SP4) or Windows XP (SP1 or SP2).

This version of the driver will let you use the "smart features" capabilities on Basler IEEE 1394 cameras that are equipped with smart features. To use smart features, you must install the Smart Features Framework (SFF) software on your computer in addition to the BCAM 1394 driver.
