In the CameraSuite SDK the ImageProcAPI provides the programming interface for executing the White
Balance algorithm. The bit depth and image types supported are shown in Table 56
Supported image input

White Balance in the CameraSuiteClient
In CameraSuiteClient the user can apply the White Balance algorithm once or repeatedly for every incoming
frame. All options can be can be accessed in the Image Processing Properties panel under Color shown
in Figure 103. If not visible, the panel can be enabled by the menu bar entry Control ⇒ Image Processing
Properties .
The single white balance mode is recommended in scenes where the lighting condition is constant, so
there will be no computation overhead. The correction values are calculated once when the Calc button is
pressed.
The Auto White Balance mode is disabled by default, as soon as enabled by the Auto White Balance (AWB)
check box it calculates an applies correction gains for every frame. This mode is recommended when the
lighting condition may permanently change.
