Camera Firmware
Teledyne DALSA Genie Nano camera firmware contains open source software provided under
different open source software licenses. More information about these open source licenses can be
found in the documentation that accompanies the firmware, which is available on the Teledyne
DALSA website at www.teledynedalsa.com or downloaded directly from the Nano .
Important: Genie Nano firmware updates are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA
web site www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/support/downloads . Choose Genie Nano Firmware from
the available download sections, then choose the zip file download specific to your camera model.
When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see
File Access via the
CamExpert Tool ). The Camera firmware can easily be upgraded within your own application via the
API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents unrecoverable camera errors even in the
case of a power interruption.
