Active Dcam is an ActiveX software solution designed to provide developers with a rapid access
to FireWire (IEEE-1394) digital cameras. Just drop an ActiveDcam control onto the surface
of your application and have it immediately support multiple FireWire cameras.
With ActiveDcam your application does not have to rely on a specific camera model - any DCAM-compliant
1394 camera will work with it out-of-the-box in any popular development environment, such as
Visual Studio, Visual Basic (VB), Delphi, PowerBuilder, Java, Matlab. You can even insert an ActiveDcam
object into an MS Word or PowerPoint document and have the live video embedded right into your presentation!
In addition you can:
| | |
| |
> |
Acquire and display live video from one or several IIDC 1394 cameras. |
| |
> |
Select among multiple camera sources. |
| |
> |
Set the desired video format and triggering mode. |
| |
> |
Select among several hardware and software trigger sources. |
| |
> |
Grab 8- or 16-bit per channel monochrome and color images. |
| |
> |
Perform automatic color interpolation of raw video generated by Bayer cameras. |
| |
> |
Choose among several available frame rates. |
| |
> |
Select the desired size and position of the scan area. |
|  |
| |
> |
Adjust multiple camera parameters in real time: brightness, gain, shutter, gamma, sharpness, hue, saturation, white balance. |
| |
> |
Control iris, focus and zoom in cameras with motorized lenses. |
| |
> |
Activate automatic or one-push control over selected camera parameters. |
| |
> |
Save camera settings in memory channels or system registry and reload them on demand. |
| |
> |
Use proprietary camera features through direct access to 1394 registers. |
| |
> |
Choose among several palettes for pseudo-color display. |
| |
> |
Get an instant access to pixel values and pixel arrays. |
| |
> |
Retrieve individual color planes from RGB images. |
| |
> |

| |
> |
DirectShow Video Capture (WDM) interface to third-party video-recording applications |
| |
> |
New! Programmable AVI compression with codec selection and adjustable playback rate. |
| |
> |
New! Dual-packet support for PGR Grasshopper cameras. |
| |
> |
New! New sample applications in Delphi, Matlab, Python. |
| |
> |
New! Enhanced thread-scheduling for dual-CPU and hyperthreading support. |
| |
> |
New! Highly optimized speed and performance. |
|
| | | 
Ability to run multiple copies of the control in one application guarantees independent adjustment
and seamless parallel acquisition from multiple 1394 cameras in both the design and run-time modes.
ActiveDcam setup includes extensive documentation and source code samples for Visual C++, Visual Basic, HTML, VB.NET, C#, Matlab, Python and DirectShow,
demonstrating live video capture, image processing and analysis, storing acquired images in different formats,
full control over camera settings, and many more.

| "We have evaluated many of A&B Software’s competitors, and selected ActiveDcam
for its comprehensive solution, reliability, and the incredible ease with which we were able
to integrate ActiveDcam into code. "Ron FinkTeam White Cougar |
| "I’m very impressed with ActiveDcam. And your help has been terrific!"
Tom Kent,Olympus ITA |
| "I tried for several weeks using the SDK provided by the camera manufacturer with no success in VB.net 2003, VC++.net 2003, VB.net 2005 or VC++.net 2005. I was able to get the ActiveDcam SDK integrated in Visual C#.net 2005 in less than an hour
