What is CVB CameraSuite?
Common Vision Blox (CVB) CameraSuite is STEMMER IMAGING's image acquisition software for GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras. It gives you the drivers, tools and sample code needed to acquire, configure and process camera images, without tying your application to a single camera manufacturer.
Once you're logged in to the Customer Portal, you can generate and activate a licence key for your camera in a few steps.
- Manufacturer-independent. Built on CVB's own GenICam driver for GigE Vision and USB3 Vision, so your application isn't locked to one camera brand.
- Cross-platform. Runs on Windows and Ubuntu Linux, across x86, x64, armv7l and aarch64.
- Ready-to-use tools. SystemBrowser and GenICamBrowser handle camera testing, configuration and image acquisition without writing code first.
- Sample code included. APIs and sample programs in CVB.Net, CVB++ and CVBpy help you start developing straight away.

Licensing several cameras at once
For a larger number of cameras, contact our technical support team directly rather than generating keys one by one. They can advise on the most efficient way to handle your request.
Adding your key automatically
CVB License Manager can collect available CameraSuite keys automatically over an internet connection, so you don't need to enter each one by hand. This can take up to a day after generation.
