Using GenICam Applications
USB3 Vision is a communication interface for vision applications based on the USB 3.0 technology. All
cameras supporting USB3 Vision interact the same way with software also supporting USB3 Vision.
The standard defines required elements for camera identification, control, and output. It uses GenICam, a
programming interface for camera attribute control. GenICam allows camera vendors to define features and
attributes in an XML file stored inside the camera. The file is parsed by the host application when the camera is
initially discovered. One of the key benefits of GenICam is the ability for camera vendors to introduce new
camera-specific features without needing to update the host application.
Each camera attribute, such as exposure time, is controlled by a specific GenICam feature. The camera includes
an XML device description file for interfacing with third-party GenICam-compliant APIs. A full listing of
features that are included in the XML file is provided in GenICam Features. Throughout this document,
GenICam features are referenced with their applicable operation.
