pyGigEVision

pyGigEVision#

Pure-Python implementation of the GigE Vision protocol (GVCP + GVSP). pyGigEVision is the foundation other vendor-specific GigE Vision camera drivers can build on top of. It exposes the protocol primitives: discovery, control register access, streaming reception, and GenICam descriptor download. Vendor-specific behaviour is not included.

The protocol implementation is pure Python: no vendor SDKs, no GenTL producers.

Quickstart#

from pyGigEVision import discover, bootstrap, GVSPReceiver

cameras = discover()
if cameras:
    ip = cameras[0]["ip"]
    client, xml = bootstrap(ip)
    # ... configure registers, start GVSPReceiver, grab frames

See Getting started for a step-by-step introduction.

Vendor drivers such as pyTelops (Telops infrared cameras) build on this protocol layer.
