Note
On any firmware update, the RTP stream is stopped automatically.
3.3.1
Web Server
The configuration of the RTP color stream receiver is accomplished via the Session Description Protocol
(SDP). The camera runs a tiny web server which is available at the camera’s IP address and standard TCP
port 80. Navigating to this IP address with a web browser will automatically trigger the download of the .sdp
file.
Note
The .sdp file is re-generated on each change of the RTP stream’s configuration.
3.4
Manual frame triggers
The default mode of the Argos is video mode, where the camera streams continuously with configured frame
rate. To use manual frame triggering, the video mode must be disabled in register
Mode0
.
A frame can be triggered by either
Hardware trigger: The signal is sensitive to a falling edge, or
Software trigger: See register
Mode0
.
Both will trigger the capturing of as many sequences on the ToF sensor, as is configured in register
NofSequ
, as well as a transition to low on the trigger output.
If color data is transferred via the data interface, the color sensor operates at either 15 or 30 frames per
second in the background (depending on register settings in
ColorStreamParams
). A color image is
assigned to each captured ToF image by means of both internal capture timestamps. If no color image is
available (e.g., during reconfiguration of the color sensor), an empty color image is transferred.
