possible through a password-protected web page, contact ST for details. The installation files are for
the following:
G
Drivers (always check the Web site for latest driver version).
G
EVK software, i.e. LCDCdemo.exe and AVIcreator.exe, G2Video.exe, and CTItest2.exe
G
SDK installation: source code for sample applications, and documentation
6.2.1
Driver support available
6.2.2
EVK software
Note:
The following is also supplied with evaluation kits/demonstration units, but all the following software
is only for demonstration purposes and should NOT be supplied as an end-user product. However,
application-level source code (i.e. not driver/colour processing source) for LCDCdemo.exe, AVI
creator, and CTItest.exe is available as part of the SDK, which allows similar applications to be built
by the software developer:
1
Simple demonstration software
LCDCdemo.exe
for uploading thumbnails and images.
2
AVIcreator.exe
software for uploading continuous images for creating ‘movie’ clips.
3
G2Video.exe
is a VfW application which shows streaming video while tethered to USB and
allows creation of.AVI video clips.
4
CTItest.exe
is only for debugging purposes, for software developers using the SDK
6.2.3
Software Development Kit (SDK) and source code
A software development kit allows the OEM to develop a custom application which calls the same
range of drivers as listed in
Section 6.2.1
, hence allowing the OEM application to perform picture
download, thumbnail display, and colour processing using the ST colour process. Inclusion of
source code for the applications listed in
Section 6.2.2
allows the software developer to use these
as the basis for their own application.
The SDK is supplied by ST as a 32-bit DLL format, running on Microsoft Windows 98/Win2K
TM
, and
accessed through a documented software interface. Development requires Microsoft Visual Studio
Version 6 or later. This provides the basis for developing a custom software application for stills.
Note:
Source code for PC Drivers, Defect Correction and Colour Processing algorithms are not available.
