GenICam Generic Data Container (GenDC)#
The Generic Data Container (GenDC) is a component of the GenICam standard suite, specifically designed to handle and transport image data and metadata in a standardized way across different vision systems. GenDC provides a flexible and efficient method for defining and accessing complex data structures, making it highly suitable for applications in machine vision and industrial imaging.
Structure of GenDC#
The image shows the structure of a data packet for a GenDC (Generic Data Container) with a maximum size of 60 MB. Here’s a brief explanation of each section:
- The layer section contains the image data. Multiple images can be included in one packet.
- The junk data contains additional information
Limitations
Containers up to a maximum size of 60 MB can be sent. Exceeding this size may result in client-side crashes or similar issues.
