Device Drivers
National Instruments Vision Acquisition Software
For many camera interface options, Durango requires National Instruments Vision Acquisition Software (NI-VAS). NI-VAS may be downloaded for a trial evaluation.
CMU 1394 Drivers
The free CMU 1394 drivers from Carnegie Mellon University are supported by Durango and are compatible with a wide range of digital cameras under Windows XP. We look forward to these drivers being someday available for Windows 7.
Imaging Source IC Capture
This software is included free of charge with all cameras, converters and grabbers manufactured by The Imaging Source.
Basler Pylon Driver / SDK
Operates with all Basler cameras that have an IEEE 1394a, IEEE 1994b or GigE Vision interface. Internal architecture is based on GenICam. Durango does not yet support the Pylon drivers.
