eBUS SDK is the industry leading choice for image capture, display, and transmission in thousands of mission-critical applications. eBUS SDK is a comprehensive solution, providing developers with a feature-rich platform that simplifies application development with receive and transmit capabilities to streamline end-to-end data delivery between sensor devices and host applications.

To take full advantage of the eBUS SDK you must obtain a license. When a license is activated, an embossed watermark and restrictions for transmitting and receiving data are removed.

eBUS SDK Seat License

Purchasing the eBUS SDK Seat License entitles a single user full access to the latest version of eBUS and includes one year maintenance for access to eBUS updates. The eBUS SDK Seat License includes all available eBUS GigE Vision and USB3 Vision receive and transmit modules, such as eBUS Edge and eBUS Receive (eBUS Edge, GEV-Rx and U3V-Rx). The eBUS Player Toolkit is also included in the eBUS SDK download.

(Please note, access to the eBUS SDK download package will be delivered via email within 1 business day following purchase)

eBUS SDK Receive Runtime Licenses

eBUS receive runtime licenses are required when an application written using eBUS is deployed.
  • eBUS Receive License: eBUS Receive licenses (GEV-Rx and U3V-Rx) will apply a watermark on received image streams by default. To remove the watermark, a runtime license is required on the receiving device. One license per device is required to remove a watermark from the video or image. There is no limit to the number of receive streams per device. Both GigE Vision (GEV-Rx) and USB3 Vision (U3V-Rx) runtime licenses are available as a download file or dongle shipped after purchase. Requires eBUS SDK 3.1 or higher. Note that if the image source is a Pleora based transmitter, eBUS Receive will not apply a watermark and no runtime license is required.

For volume pricing on licenses, contact your local regional sales office.
