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
----------

.. code-block:: python

    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 :doc:`getting_started` for a step-by-step introduction.

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