Highlights
eGrabber Playlink description
eGrabber Playlink is a game-changing feature that allows software developers to test and validate their code without the need for physical acquisition cards and cameras. This virtual frame grabber simulates the image acquisition process, enabling developers to work independently of the machine’s physical environment.

Playlink is a standard GenTL (Generic Transport Layer) producer capable of acquiring images recorded by eGrabber Recorder from a real-world acquisition system. It allows developers to focus on the machine vision software application and its validation without worrying about the complexities of image acquisition.
eGrabber Playlink can be used free of charge within eGrabber Studio, which is a great way to learn and evaluate Playlink. A “PC4401 eGrabber Recorder and Playlink” license is required when integrating eGrabber Playlink’s API into your own software application.
Note: A “PC4401 eGrabber Recorder and Playlink” license gives access to both eGrabber Recorder and eGrabber Playlink.
