Shell
In computing, a shell is a piece of software that provides an
interface for users. Command-line shells provide a command-line
interface (CLI) to the operating system. The primary purpose of
the shell is to invoke or "launch" another program; however, shells
frequently have additional capabilities such as viewing the
contents of directories.
Square pixels Square-shaped pixels (height-width ratio 1:1)

USB3 Vision
A closed source framework, defined and administered by the Automated
Imaging Association (AIA), for transmitting video and related control data
over USB 3. Sometimes U3V is used as an acronym.
UDP
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is an Internet protocol. It is used by
applications to send messages to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP)
network.
Vertical sync Synchronization pulse in video signal for field end recognition.
Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a
graphical desktop sharing system that uses the RFB protocol
to remotely control another computer. Over a network, it
transmits the mouse and keyboard events from one computer
to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in
the other direction.
To access the camera's desktop from a PC via VNC,
• you have to know the IP address of the remote system.
• Start a VNC viewer and
• point it to the remote system.
You won't need a password. Of course, you won't get a very
fast live image display via the network with VNC but you
should be able to start wxPropView (p. 68) and capture images.
wxWidgets
wxWidgets is a cross-platform GUI library. It can be used from
languages such as C++, Python, Perl, and C#/.NET.
