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.
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.
