Camera Information Category
Camera information can be retrieved via a controlling application. Parameters such as camera
model, firmware version, etc. are read to uniquely identify the connected Genie device. These
features are typically read-only. GigE Vision applications retrieve this information to identify the
camera along with its characteristics.
The Camera Information Category groups information specific to the individual GigE Vision camera.
In this category the number of features shown are identical whether the view is Beginner, Expert,
or Guru.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as
Invisible
are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications. Also important, Genie
TS cameras are available in a number of models implementing different sensors and image
resolutions which may not support the full feature set defined in this category.
