Hi everyone,

Here is a link to the first public version of the GenICam plugin.

Kinovea.GenICam-1.1.0.zip

Compatibility: this plugin is only compatible with Kinovea 2024.1

Thanks to every one that helped test this plugin so far!

Currently reported to work with cameras from the following vendors:
- Allied Vision
- Basler
- Baumer
- Daheng imaging
- IDS
- Teledyne Flir
- Vision Datum

Known issues:
- With IDS cameras, reducing the image resolution results in a black image. (Not clear if this is only for the UI-xxx cameras or also the newer U3-xxx, if any one has one of these please report).
- 1 report that Daheng cameras using GigE interface don't work (USB 3 cameras do work).

Please report your experience and what camera type you test it with.

Thanks,
Joan

Hello everyone!

I'm a new Kinovea user and I'm thrilled to learn that this new plugin is available for my cameras. I've been using SwingCatalyst for golf swing analysis and it's fine software and even integrates with my launch monitor, but the $200/year subscription is a bit steep for just being a personal home user.

I've installed Kinovea 2024.1 along with the GenICam plugin. When I click on the camera icon at the top my cameras briefly appear before the program crashes. I'm using 2 Teledyne Flir Blackfly S USB3 cameras model #BFS-U3-04S2C-CS.

Any tips or solutions to get things working would be great. Are there some settings that I need to tweak on the cameras? Could it be that the SwingCatalyst software is somehow interfering? SwingCatalyst is not running when this happens. I know this is a brand new plugin so a bit of trial and error is expected.

Thanks for testing and sorry it's not yet working correctly. Thanks for the log by mail. I don't think SwingCatalyst is interfering. I'll investigate.

So far I have received feedback from 3 persons with Teledyne FLIR cameras. It worked for two of them and didn't work for the third one, but I'm not sure what the problem is. So any additional feedback helps.
