7.1 Software for Photonfocus GigE Cameras

The following packages for Photonfocus GigE (G2) cameras are available on the Photonfocus
website (www.photonfocus.com):
eBUS SDK Contains the Pleora SDK and the Pleora GigE filter drivers. Many examples of the
SDK are included.
PFInstaller Contains the PF_GEVPlayer, a property list for every GigE camera and additional
documentation and examples. The option GigE_Tools, PF_GEVPlayer, SDK examples and doc
for GigE cameras must be selected.

7.2 PF_GEVPlayer

The camera parameters can be configured by a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool for Gigabit
Ethernet Vision cameras or they can be programmed with custom software using the SDK.
A GUI tool that can be downloaded from Photonfocus is the PF_GEVPlayer. How to obtain and
install the software and how to connect the camera is described in Chapter 3.
After connecting to the camera, the camera properties can be accessed by clicking on the GEV
Device control button (see also Section 7.2.2).
The PF_GEVPlayer is described in more detail in the GEVPlayer Quick Start Guide
[GEVQS] which is included in the PFInstaller.
There is also a GEVPlayer in the Pleora eBUS package. It is recommended to
use the PF_GEVPlayer as it contains some enhancements for Photonfocus GigE
cameras such as decoding the image stream in DR1 cameras.
