Camera Information
In the Camera information dialog box, you can assign a unique ID to the selected camera and write
to the user area of the EEPROM. The data you enter is retained in the camera memory even when
the camera is disconnected from the PC or power supply.
Figure 12 uC480 Camera Manager - Camera Information
You can only set the camera ID and write to the EEPROM if the camera is marked Free and
Available in the Camera Manager (see also Camera list ).
Camera ID
The camera ID identifies a camera in multi-camera operation. You can assign IDs in a range from
1 to 254. The default value for the camera ID is 1. The same ID can be assigned to multiple
cameras. You do not have to assign sequential ID numbers to all connected cameras.
If software accesses cameras through the uc480 DirectShow interface, the camera IDs must be in
a range from 1 to 8.
If software accesses cameras through the uc480 DirectShow interface, the camera IDs must be
assigned consecutively beginning with 1.
User EEPROM (max. 64 characters)
Every DCx camera has a 64-byte user area in its EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and
Programmable Read Only Memory) to which you can write text of your choice.
The Camera information dialog box displays two additional boxes that are for your information only
and cannot be edited:
