eGrabber Gigelink

Gigelink is an optional library of eGrabber that provides a universal, hardware-independent access to GigE Vision cameras. With Gigelink, programmers can use the eGrabber concepts, objects, and function calls to acquire images from GigE Vision cameras, in the same way as with CoaXPress cameras (using the Coaxlink cards) and Camera Link cameras (using the Grablink Duo). Gigelink is compatible with GenICam as well as the eGrabber Studio applications.

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.

• 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

Thanks to the EGrabberBridge class, images acquired within eGrabber can seamlessly be processed by Open eVision image processing libraries.
Open eVision is a set of image analysis libraries and software tools allowing the processing of images for text and code reading, matching and measurements, 3D processing and Deep Learning inspection. eGrabber Bridge gives access to these libraries by ensuring the smooth interfacing with the camera (handshake and data formats).

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.
