eBUS Player 6.2.8

  • The camera2d_plugin plugin should be installed in Mech-Vision.

  • The images captured by the camera have a "Pleora" watermark, which does not affect normal functionality. To remove it, you would need to purchase the runtime license for cameras supporting eBUS.

    • If the camera uses the GigE protocol, you need to purchase a gev-rx license.

    • If the camera uses the USB protocol, you need to purchase a u3v-rx license.

    • If you do not want to purchase the runtime license for cameras supporting eBUS, you can try to use the Calc Results by Python Step to capture images by calling the Python interface of third-party cameras.

Usage Scenario

This Step is generally used with the 2D camera.

Input and Output

  • Input： none.

  • Output：

    1. Color image captured by the camera.

    2. Timestamp string corresponding to the color image acquired by the camera, which can be used as the naming prefix to save the image.
