Device Driver for GigE Cameras

Device Driver for all GigE cameras manufactured by The Imaging Source.

This driver is necessary when using The Imaging Source GigE cameras with DirectShow-based software such as IC Capture or IC Imaging Control.

If the application software already supports GigE (e.g. National Instruments LabVIEW or MVTec HALCON), this driver is not necessary.

An older driver (e.g. version 3.0.1 or lower) is required for Windows XP.
