Bluefish444 announced the availability of the Microsoft Windows 6.5.0 driver and SDK package for Epoch and Kronos Video IO hardware. The update allows users to access the features and performance improvements delivered by the 6.5.0 Windows release. The Driver SDK integrates firmware features of the Epoch and Kronos.

A new feature of the Bluefish 6.5.0 driver SDK includes a configuration for video interfaces. Years supporting the SMPTE standards have been integrated. The 6.5.0 driver and SDK has an AutoCapture video engine adding lower latency and more automated video acquisition into user applications. This feature shifts the complexity in sub frame processing from the user application into the Bluefish driver and makes the lowest latency implementations accessible by all applications, not just those who chose to adopt more complex low latency integrations.

“With the exciting new features and overall product improvements this Microsoft Windows 6.5.0 driver SDK release really does bring our 6.x Driver branch supporting both Epoch and Kronos hardware to maturity” said Tom Lithgow, Bluefish444 Product Manager “New Simple Setup and low latency AutoCapture features continue to push the boundaries of excellence provided in a Video IO interface and when combined with Kronos hardware can’t be beaten on performance and simplicity.”
