Grab images and set configuration of GenICam protocol in c# .net

Question

I have ContrasTech mars series camera that that connected with usb3 to pc and install iCentral app that can access camera. I want to access camera and grab live images from it. I found that it uses GenICam protocol, but cannot find any useful documention in C#.Net. In Vendor site there is SDK that contains some DLL files and libs but with no documentation. For example

• MVSDKmd.lib
• HalconHDevelopAdapter
• List item
• Development\Include\GenICam\CAPI\SDK.h

I need to capture images and set configuration for these cameras in C# .NET. Please help.

Answer 1

Seems like you are looking for a .NET GenICam library.
Maybe this one does the job:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GenICam/

I don't know this camera vendor so I cannot tell anything about their API. I have used Basler and IDS cameras so far, both through their specific APIs, and Basler cameras also through GigE Vision by Matrox Imaging Library.
There are other powerful GigE Vision libraries (search for eg "GigE Vision SDK"), but they usually are not free.
