Introduction
Introduction to MIP SDK 2016 R3
MIPSDK General
- The VideoOS.Platform.SDK.UI library is now compiled for .Net 4.5
All solutions using this DLL will need to be targeted for .Net 4.5 or later.
- Support and documentation for alarm synchronization in access control. New Introduction placed under 'Plugin Integration' and reference documentation for access control updated.
Compatibility and upgrade notes
- Mobile Server protocol: The default configuration for using the Mobile Server, is that username and password now needs to be encrypted.
The old sample, and solution based on this sample, will not work out of the box, there are two solutions:
Either change the Mobile Server's config xml file to allow plain text login, or look into the new 'DemoApp' sample on how to do this. (The DemoApp2 has not been updated)
Changes in MIPSDK Component library (VideoOS.Platform.SDK.* files)
- ImageViewerControl can now utilize hardware accelerated video display
- This control will now utilize the GPU when decoding and graphics board for displaying video.
This will have same look and feel as in the Smart Client.
- It is also possible to disable using the hardware acceleration via the EnvironmentOption.
- Video overlay can now use WPF elements - boosting performance
- Log files can now be created per application, use EnvironmentOptions["LogPrefix"] = "short-name-of-your-app";
XProtect Smart Client
- Video overlay can now use WPF elements - will utilize graphics hardware
- It is not possible to get a list of defined maps, use the GetMapRequest and GetMapResponse
New features for administrators
Samples
