The “Multicast” group box will display the packet size that applies to the running
image data stream.
The listening application has to have at least that
packet size available (jumbo frames) in order to properly connect to
the image data stream
.
After selecting the multicast camera in the camera list of the discovery dialog
the OK button can be clicked or the camera entry can be double clicked in order
to connect to the already running image data stream.
Since the listening application does not have control access, all controls in the
‘SVCam Settings’ dialog will be disabled except the Close button.
4 Windows x64 support
The SVGigE SDK supports x64 natively by providing a SVGigE driver along with
DLLs and a sample application which are compiled for x64 platforms.
Although the SVCapture.exe program is a Win32 application, it can be used with
some limitations also on Windows x64 PCs using the win32 compatibility mode.
When running SVCapture on x64 platforms in the compatibility mode the
SVGigE driver will not be available because a win32 application is not capable of
handling the 64-bit image buffer addresses which are provided by the driver.
Nevertheless SVCapture can use Winsock for both, communicating to a camera
as well as streaming image data from the camera to the application.
NOTE:
Though a Winsock connection to a camera can be established properly
also on x64 platforms, there exist the same limitation for image streams
regarding transport reliability also on that platform. Usually a certain amount of
network packets gets lost when working over Winsock. Though the GigE Vision
standard allows for resending lost packets it might be that under certain
circumstances visible failures in images can result from loosing network packets
dependent on the system load.
Therefore the recommended and most reliable way for streaming image data
from
a
camera
to
a
PC
is
by
using
the
filter
driver.
The
SVGigE_ExampleVC8.x64.exe allows for running a connection with both, filter
driver as well as Winsock and for comparing those modes and their main
characteristics against each other.
4.1.1
Displaying live images
Connect a SVS-GigE-Camera with a network cable to your PC or network
switch.
Plug in the 12V Camera connector and then plug in the AC/DC power supply.
WARNING! Never disconnect the 12V power connector when the AC/DC
power supply is plugged in. Always disconnect the power supply first!
Wait 15 seconds until the green LED at the RJ45 connector of the Camera blinks
sometimes. Then start “SVCapture.exe”.
After start of “SVCapture.exe”
