eGrabber: A single API for GigE Vision, CoaXPress & Camera Link cameras

eGrabber Gigelink, a new optional add-on to eGrabber, provides a universal, hardware-independent access to GigE Vision cameras. eGrabber Gigelink allows the user to seamlessly integrate GigE Vision cameras from multiple brands in the same application, bypassing the proprietary camera drivers. With eGrabber, programmers can then use the same concepts, objects, and function calls to acquire images from GigE Vision cameras of any brand, from any CoaXPress cameras and any Camera Link camera.

Description

Recorder is an optional library of eGrabber that offers optimized video recording to hard drives. It is compatible with hard disk drives (HDD) as well as solid state drives (SSD).

---

High performance

Recorder focusses on performance. The library has been highly optimized to exploit the maximum bandwidth of disks. The actual recording throughput will of course depend on the disk capabilities.

---

Exporting

Recorder stores images in a proprietary highly optimized file format. Images and video can be exported to standard TIFF and MKV files.

---

Compatible with Neo licensing system

---

Easy to use

The Recorder library is easy to use and relieves the user from having to care about file size, name, or format.

---

Timestamping

Recorder is able to compute and store UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) timestamps along with image data.

---

Works great in eGrabber Studio

Also available in the same ecosystem, eGrabber Studio is the evaluation and demonstration application of eGrabber. It allows testing image acquisition, checking and configuring the parameters (GenAPI features) of the cameras and frame grabbers and recording the acquired video onto the hard disk. Live histogram, profile and pixel information display are also available.

Compatible with Windows and Linux

• All versions from Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 11, including the server versions, on x86_64 (64-bit) platforms
• Designed to be independent of the Linux distribution, on x86_64 and AArch64 (ARM64) platforms
