Dear patchers,

here is to introduce full support for industrial cameras by The Imaging Source.

“Established in 1988, The Imaging Source is a leading manufacturer of industrial cameras, video converters and embedded vision components for factory automation, quality assurance, medicine, science, security…” and now also a breeze to use with vvvv!

Based on their IC Imaging Control 4 SDK we’ve created the VL.Devices.TheImagingSource package, implementing a node-set for you to quickly access the streams of one or multiple cameras in parallel.

A cameras configuration can be read from and written to a file. Individual properties can be configured and their status be read. Dead simple to use and you can leverage the full potential of the cameras with just a few clicks.

Sponsor credits

And we thank The Imaging Source for providing a camera allowing us to test our implementation.
