Below you will find information on the settings for the ibaCapture interface.

Port number

The port number is specified in the entry field in the top left. The port number is used to receive synchronization data from one or more ibaCapture Server via Ethernet connection. The default port number can normally be used.

For further information, see chapter ibaPDA communication.

If the default port number is already used in your network for other purposes you can change it here. The port number is always transferred to ibaCapture Server, to inform the video server about the correct port number for the exchange of the synchronization telegrams.

ibaCapture-Interface licenses

The available ibaCapture licenses are shown in the top right of the screen. You need one license for each connection to an instance of ibaCapture Server.

Start acquisition even if an ibaCapture Server/ibaVision process is not accessible

If you want to make sure that the acquisition starts, regardless of ibaCapture Server or ibaVision being accessible or not you should checkmark the corresponding option.

Restart acquisition when the configuration of an ibaCapture server has changed

If ibaPDA detects a change in configuration for one of its active cameras then the acquisition can be automatically restarted (only works with ibaCapture Servers v4 or higher).

Renaming camera signals with XML file

If there is a chance that the system configuration of the ibaCapture Server(s) is changed from time to time, e. g. due to renaming of the cameras, the XML file is a helpful mean.

If this option is selected ibaPDA will read the XML file specified in the field “Rename file”.

A sample file is stored during installation of ibaPDA and can be seen by pressing <Show example>.

If you prepare such files with different content (according to the different camera constellations) and copy it to the specified path before restarting the acquisition, ibaPDA will automatically acquire the new camera names.
