Products - Software


Active Silicon offers a range of software to support its vision hardware products across several operating systems. There are also drivers for 3rd party machine vision and scientific imaging packages as well as Twain and NetMeeting support. Independent of the hardware we have a variety of other image processing tools such as JPEG and wavelet compression and patented vision algorithms.

Software - Phoenix Frame Grabber SDK



Board level drivers and libraries for the Phoenix range of frame grabbers.



Phoenix Software Development Kit

The Phoenix software development kit provides support for the complete Phoenix range via an identical API across multiple platforms. These include Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, DOS and Linux plus QNX, VxWorks and Mac OS X. A single library interface supports all the boards across all the supported platforms. The SDK provides all the required functions for image capture and transfer, exposure and timers, I/O, serial communication, display and file saving.

Software - TMG Imaging Library



The TMG Imaging Library has been developed over the last eight years as a cross-platform common API imaging library.



TMG Imaging Library

The TMG Imaging Library runs on a variety of operating systems including Windows, DOS, Linux, Solaris, MacOS and VxWorks, and provides basic image manipulation, file I/O and display functions. It also includes a highly optimised JPEG and wavelet codec. It is bundled with some hardware products but may also be licensed separately.

Please email to request a datasheet.



Software - ASLSock TCP/IP Stack



ASLSock has been developed in order to provide a cross-platform TCP/IP network stack which will work in a threaded or non-thread environment.



ASLSock

ASLSock runs on a variety of operating systems including all the major ones, but is really targeted as specialist environments such as embedded processors running minimal operating systems (or none at all!) For example, it is used in the VRC-1000 network camera, that uses the ARM processor.
