Configuring the iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine
You can configure the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine in these configurations:
• Unicast network configuration
• Multicast network configuration
Setting up the iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine
You will set up the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine for Unicast or Multicast operation with the GEVPlayer
sample application installed as part of the eBUS SDK.
Installing the eBUS SDK
You must install the eBUS SDK with GEVPlayer on your PC to configure and control your GigE Vision
camera and the images. Consult the GEVPlayer Quick Start Guide for information about setting up and
configuring your camera for connection to the SB-Pro IP engine. The Pleora eBUS SDK contains an
extensive library of sample applications, with source code, to create working applications for device
configuration and control; image and data acquisition; and, image display and diagnostics.
Sample code is also offered for advanced networking capabilities, like video multicasting and simulta-
neous connections to multiple devices.
The eBUS SDK operates with products from other vendors that comply with the GigE Vision standard.
The SDK is offered in a package with eBUS drivers.

configuration of the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine. There are 3 choices of driver selection depending on your
