CVB Vision-Server enables computers to behave like complete GigE Vision compatible cameras
When people talk about software for GigE Vision cameras they are usually referring to the drivers required for capturing images. In a departure from the norm, German machine-vision specialist Stemmer Imaging GmbH has enhanced Common Vision Blox (CVB) by adding a Vision-Server to the software.
With its independent imaging libraries, CVB, has for some time, offered the most comprehensive and powerful implementation of the GigE Vision and GenICam standards, claims the company. The new GigE Vision Server enables a suitably equipped computer to behave like a complete GigE Vision and GenICam compatible camera, with freely configurable features. Data output by the CVB GigE Vision Server conform to the GigE Vision and GenICam standards and are therefore compatible with any standards compliant software interfaces from other providers.
CVB GigE Vision Server opens up a completely new opportunity for imaging, says Stemmer. At its most basic level, images can be transferred from a hard disk, or from any CVB-compatible imaging hardware, via a network interface - making use of the benefits offered by simplified GigE Vision cabling. In this way, GigE Vision cameras can be simulated alongside any CVB-compatible imaging technologies.
Even more complex applications have already been implemented, such as local pre-processing of image data using a GigE Vision Server PC, and distributed computing across full MultiCast server systems. Neither have presented any difficulties for CVB, says the firm.
