Software support

6.1

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 interfaces. Drivers are available for

TWAIN, WIA, Video for Windows (VfW) and DirectShow (DS) depending on the Operating System

as listed below:

Win98/Win98SE/WinME – VfW and TWAIN

Win2k – DS, VfW and TWAIN

WinXP – DS, VfW, WIA and TWAIN

Mac

Quicktime drivers and a Photoshop stills plug in for MacOS 8.6/9.0/9.1/9.2 are supported.

The driver will also run under MacOS X in Classic Mode.

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:

Fast upload through USB, or upload through RS232.

Colour display of image thumbnails for picture selection.

Download of full image once selected by user software.

Automatic detection and correction of sensor defects

Colour processing of full image, using the ST colour process

The above features also apply to “AVI Creator” or any OEM custom software for AVI video creation

at part of pictures taken while un-tethered, since this is essentially a “stills” function.

6.1.2

Streaming video (only while tethered to USB)

This is available through demonstration software, or using standard VfW applications. Features

include:

Streaming video through standard VfW driver

Automatic detection and correction of sensor defects

Colour processing of full image, using the ST colour process
