Installing the camera
Using the camera with third-party drivers
Alvium USB cameras may not support third-party drivers. We recommend using
the Vimba camera driver.
Installing drivers for camera and host
adapter
Installing the host adapter and Vimba
1. Install the USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 host controller card and driver according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Download and install Vimba:
www.alliedvision.com/software.
3. Continue with Installing the camera driver.
Installing the camera driver
During the Vimba installation, select at least Camera Demonstration and Vimba
Applications to operate Alvium USB cameras. If the camera is not recognized or to
subsequently change an assigned driver, follow the instructions:
1. Connect your Alvium USB camera to the computer using a USB 3.0 or 3.1
Type-A to Micro-B cable.
2. Start Vimba Driver Installer and open the USB3 Vision Cameras tab.
The Driver Source is not installed, yet.
If other USB3 Vision devices are installed, another USB3 Vision driver may be
assigned to your camera.
3. Click the Alvium USB camera entry.
The current Vimba driver is offered as a popup (Vimba 3.0.0 in the example).
Connecting the camera to a USB 2.0 port
If the Alvium USB camera is connected to a USB 2.0 port, the Vimba driver can be
installed and the camera can be configured and operated. But for full performance,
the camera must be connected to a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 port.
Command line driver installer
Vimba also provides a command line driver installer. For more information about
the Vimba Driver Installer, see the Vimba Manual, included in the Vimba
download.
