ActiveBF is an ActiveX and DirectShow SDK built around BitFlow driver and designed for rapid application development tools, such as VB6, VB.NET, Visual C++, C#, Delphi, Java, Matlab, Python etc. With ActiveBF your application immediately s upports all of Bitflow framegrabbers: Road Runner, Raven, R3, R64, Neon, Karbon and Alta.
With ActiveBF you can:
>
Acquire and display live video from one or several BitFlow boards.
>
Use up to 8 physical or virtual framegrabbers.
>
Select among multiple camera sources.
>
Set a desired video format and triggering mode.
>
Adjust hardware brightness, contrast, and gamma.
>
Choose among several palettes for pseudo-color display.
>
Grab 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, 16-bit monochrome and 30-, 36-, 42- and 48-bit color images.
>
Perform automatic color interpolation of raw video generated by Bayer cameras.
>
Select the desired size of the scan area.
>
Set the desired scroll and zoom modes.
>
Get an nstant access to pixel values and pixel arrays.
>
Per-line refresh mode for line-scan cameras.
>
Retrieve individual color planes from RGB images.
>
Import acquired images to PictureBox objects.
>
Save images in BMP, TIFF and JPEG formats.
>
Time-lapse capture to AVI 2.0 files and image sequences.
>
Overlay custom graphics and texts on live video.
>
Perform real-time histogram and statistical analysis over a selected color component.
>
Communicate with cameras via Camera Link serial port.
>
Perform image processing on incoming frames and display them in real time.
>
Flip and rotate live image.
>
Control digital input/ouput bits on the board.
>
DirectShow Video Capture (WDM) driver to third-party video-recording applications
>
New! Real-time running average and integration of video frames
>
New! Built-in LUT (lookup table), software brighnest, contrast and WB control
>
New! Built-in background (dark and flat field) correction.
>
New! Anti-tearing option for eliminating display artifacts.
>
New! Enhanced thread-scheduling for dual-CPU and hyperthreading support.
Ability to run multiple copies of the control in one application guarantees independent adjustment of multiple boards in the design mode and seamless parallel acquisition from multiple video sources in the run-time mode.
