B FlyCapture SDK Examples
B.15 MultipleCameraEx
This example starts multiple cameras using the StartSyncCapture() function. This function synchronizes image grabbing
across all cameras. Additionally, it enables timestamps to be embedded in images, allowing users to obtain the exact
timing of each camera's exposure.
B.16 MultipleCameraWriteToDiskEx
The MultipleCameraWriteToDiskEx shows how to write to disk from multiple cameras.
Available for:
n
C++
B.17 MultiSyncEx
This example synchronizes 1394 cameras on same PC and across PCs. Across PC synchronization is achieved by linking all
of the computers to a single 1394 bus dedicated to sharing timing information (the timing bus). This requires that a 1394
card on each machine be dedicated to the timing bus.
This example does not perform image grabbing. You have to write your own image acquisition program
or use existing FlyCapture2 examples such as MultipleCameraEx to perform synchronized image grab.
This example lists detected 1394 cameras on current system and displays current synchronization status and time
duration since sync was established. Cameras connected to other computers in the sync network cannot be seen from
local computer.
Detected cameras are highlighted in following ways to indicate synchronization status:
Color
Taskbar Icon
Meaning
Red
The cameras are not synchronized or there are not enough cameras to synchronize.
Yellow
The cameras are in the process of synchronizing.
Green
The cameras are synchronized
B.18 SaveImageToAviEx
This example saves a series of images to AVI files. The program starts the first camera attached to the host system, opens
an AVI file, captures a series of images from the camera, and appends the images to the AVI file.
B.19 SaveImageToFlashEx
The SaveImageToFlashEx utility is a basic example which utilizes the data flash on the camera. When an image is
grabbed, it is saved directly to flash instead of sending the data out. Not all cameras support data flash. On supported
cameras, flash size varies by model, so the size of the image that can be stored varies. Consult your camera's
documentation for more information.
