General features
The chipset is a dual-mode camera, i.e. stills and video, and is supported by a range of
demonstration software, standard drivers, and software development options.
Driver software is available to support both USB and RS232 interface including standard TWAIN
and video for Windows drivers (VfW through USB only) for Win98/Win2k/WinME. Quicktime drivers
and a Photoshop stills plug in for MacOS 8.6/9.0/9.1 are also supported.
Example software applications (PC only) are provided to create .AVI video files from untethered
continuous capture of images (AVICreator), to upload still images and recorded sounds
(LCDCdemo) and to download .WAV files from the PC to the camera (CustomSound). In each case,
PC source code is provided to assist in OEM software development using the SDK.
ST colour processing and defect detection/correction software runs on the host and is supplied
under licence agreement, as part of all host software/drivers/SDK.
Still image upload
This is available through demonstration software, OEM custom software, or using standard TWAIN
applications. Features include:
The above features also apply to “AVI Creator” or any OEM custom software for AVI video creation
from pictures taken while un-tethered, since this is essentially a “stills” function.
Streaming video (only while tethered to USB)
This is available through demonstration software, or using standard VfW applications. Features
include:
