Using GenICam Applications

GigE Vision is an interface standard that allows for fast image transfer over Ethernet networks. All cameras
supporting GigE Vision interact the same way with software also supporting GigE Vision.
USB3 Vision is a communication interface for vision applications based on the USB 3.0 technology. All cameras
supporting USB3 Vision interact the same way with software also supporting USB3 Vision.
For more information on the standard, visit visiononline.org.
The standard defines required elements for camera identification, control, and output. It uses GenICam, a
programming interface for camera attribute control. GenICam allows camera vendors to define features and
attributes in an XML file stored inside the camera. The file is parsed by the host application when the camera is
initially discovered. One of the key benefits of GenICam is the ability for camera vendors to introduce new
camera-specific features without needing to update the host application.
Each camera attribute, such as exposure time, is controlled by a specific GenICam feature. The camera includes
an XML device description file for interfacing with third-party GenICam-compliant APIs.
For more information on GenICam, visit emva.org.
