FlyCapture SDK is Point Grey's most stable and feature-rich software package ever. This release features cross-platform support for both 32- / 64-bit Microsoft Windows and Linux Ubuntu operating systems, using common application programming interfaces (APIs) for C, C++ or managed code.

Other key features include:

• Simplified object-oriented interface to make application development faster and easier;
• Hardware abstraction layer (HAL) enabling the seamless connection of any Point Grey FireWire, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 or GigE Vision camera product to the host system;
• Supports new IIDC 1.32 features such as frame buffering & lookup table;
• Thunking functionality allowing applications built using 32-bit versions of the SDK to communicate with cameras that run on 64-bit operating systems.
• Support for TWAIN, ActiveX and DirectShow.

A translation layer allows existing FlyCapture 1.x-based applications to run in the 2.0 interface. To learn more, or for assistance in upgrading to FlyCapture 2.0, see this knowledge base article.
