If you are using a camera with a high resolution sensor and particularly if it is a color sensor you will notice
that wxPropView will show live images at a rate much slower than expected. This is due to the complexity of
converting and displaying large amount of image data on such a small machine. wxPropView will attempt to
continue working by displaying only as fast as it can whilst capturing data more quickly. Of course, this
means that the CPU will be running at aits maximum rate and may make using other software on the camera
difficult. In order to see faster live images please consider one or more of the following suggestions:
1. Use an AOI to reduce the area shown to that part of the image which interests you.
2. Turn off the Fit to Screen function (right-click on the live image to get the menu) so that no software
scaling of the display takes place.
3. Try reducing the input format from 12bpp to 10bpp or to 8 bpp. You probably will not see the
difference with live images.
4. If color information is unimportant for the live image then choose a raw data output format. With a
color sensor you will then see a gray image with the typical Bayer mosaic pattern of gray dots
superimposed. Never the less, you should still be able to adjust gain, exposure, focus etc.
5. Try restricting the maximum frame rate using one of the GenICam properties: Setting -> Base ->
Camera -> GenICam -> Acquisition Control -> Acquisition Frame Rate . Here you can change the
default of 1000 fps to a much lower value.
6. If you are still having problems using wxPropView please use SingleFrame mode.
