October 2017Interacoustics introduces the Virtual SVV™
Virtual SVV

The mobile measuring device for testing subjective visual verticals – developed by CHRONOS VISION – is introduced by Interacoustics as new Virtual SVV™. Interacoustics is now distributing the revised medical device for testing the utricular function of the vestibular organs. The Virtual SVV™ complements Interacoustics’ balance test battery, allowing a faster and more efficient evaluation of the 10 balance organs.

April 2016The IVC Studio 3.3 SR3 is available
SICK Camera SDK 4.4

The IVC Studio 3.3 SR3


From April 2016 all IVC Smart Cameras will be delivered with the IVC Studio 3.3 SR3 release.  This release adds support for a new special device based on IVC­3D 50, which has an extended operating temperature range, from 0°C to 50°C. In addition, there is a new tool, Rotate and Mirror, which is an extended variant of the Rotate Image tool. The Blob Analyzer tool’s boundary based method for finding the orientation and boundary of a blob has been improved, and the tools find profile points, Get Calibrated Point, Extract profile and Set Output have also been modified slightly. The release is based on the IVC 3.3 SR1 release of IVC Studio.

More information about this along with known limitations and issues can be found in the release notes.


April 2016The 3D Camera SDK 5.1 SR1 is available
SICK Camera SDK 4.4

3D Camera SDK 5.1 SR1


The most important changes in this service release are: A timeout can now be set to guarantee that buffer callbacks occur without delays  even if network packets are lost. This timeout can be set to a specific value depending  on the application’s needs. By default it is set to infinity, keeping the same behaviour as  in previous release. It is now possible to enable flush of data before the buffer is full. This setting ensures that the user receives the latest started buffer very rapidly after enable goes low, without requirements for further trig etc.

For more information please see the release notes. 

For latest version of eBus SDK or other deliveries that has not been  updated in this service release, please see SDK 5.1.
