Fire-i X™ SDK, ActiveX and .NET based Development Toolkit for IIDC firewire cameras
The Fire-i X™ SDK
provides developers a quick and simple way to add camera imaging to
their projects utilizing ActiveX and .net programming environments.
It consists of two separate SDKs:
- COM based Fire-i X ActiveX SDK.
- .NET based Fire-i.NET SDK.
The two SDKs share no code-base at all. The newly added
Fire-i.net is written from the ground up to cater
for the .NET environment and it requires no expert skills to
integrate with an existing .net project.
Even though each SDK has all the features and functionality of Fire-i API™,
they do not require expert programming skills and they are entirely language-independent; provided the development environment of choice
supports ActiveX, COM (Fire-i X) or native .NET (Fire-i.NET).
Fire-i X™ SDK is available as a free standalone download, which includes the
runtimes of ubCore™ or
Fire-i™ drivers.
SDK specific features:
| Fire-i ActiveX SDK |
Fire-i .NET SDK |

Samples: Common usage samples covering many
programming environments, such as Microsoft Visual Basic
6.0, Microsoft .net (Visual Basic and C#) and visual C++
with MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes)
|
Samples:
Common usage samples (Single-camera preview, Multi-camera
preview, Camera feature control, Format 7 preview, Drawing
on Frame) on Microsoft C#.
|
Fire-iX DLL:
The entire functionality of Fire-i X COM SDK at runtime is
contained in a single DLL file - provided either
ubCore™ or
Fire-i™ is already installed on the system.
|
Fire-i.NET DLL: The
entire functionality of Fire-i.NET SDK at runtime is
contained in Firei.net.dll working in cooperation with DLLCS.dll and
DShowCS.dll.
The SDK provides the necessary DLLs and
Firei.NET.msi installation package for redistributing
Fire-i.NET with your applications, through the
ubCore Pro/Fire-i runtime package.
|
| Language independent: works with
any language or programming environment that supports
COM: from Visual Basic to Delphi, .net, java, Ruby, Python, Matlab, etc. |
Works with any .NET programming
environment. Compatible with .net API up to 3.5
sp1 (and any future official .net release version). |
Common Features:
- No need for a GUI environment - it works even on command-line environments if necessary (albeit with no video preview).
- Compatible with all IIDC cameras, up to version 1.32.
- Supports multiple cameras on multiple video controls.
- Has all the features and functionality of Fire-i API™
SDK and can work alongside other applications utilizing it.
- Operates internally either in Fire-i DLL or DirectShow modes - programmer selectable at runtime.
- Fast and simple development process: 5 minutes from empty project to multi-camera video preview.
- No need for additional licensing - it utilizes and operates under the existing
licensing scheme of Fire-i API™ SDK and drivers.
Software Requirements:
Windows XP/2003/Vista/7, 32 and 64 bit editions.
