Software GUI

Overview

The IpxPlayer software application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) with functionality for

controlling Imperx camera parameters, acquiring video, showing acquired video, and saving

acquired images or video on the host computer.

The application also collects and displays statistical information on acquired images and generates

a log of data transfers between the camera and the host computer.

Supported Operating Systems

The IpxPlayer is compatible with the following operating systems:
•  Windows 7, 32-bit and 64-bit
•  Windows 8, 32-bit and 64-bit
•  Windows 10, 32-bit and 64-bit
•  Ubuntu Linux 16.04 64-bit
•  Ubuntu Linux 16.04 64-bit, ARM CPU
•  Ubuntu Linux 18.04 64-bit
•  Ubuntu Linux 18.04 64-bit, ARM CPU
