Overview: Vimba X vs Vimba

Vimba X is our new, fully GenICam-compliant SDK. The Vmb APIs are similar to the Vimba APIs and migration is easy.

The Developer Guide contains a "Get Started" section including a migration guide for Vimba users.

Vimba X is our recommended SDK for Alvium cameras with GigE, USB, and CSI interface - it supports the latest Alvium features.

More information about Vimba X

Vimba is the predecessor of our current Vimba X SDK. Please note that Vimba is not being further developed and does not support the latest Alvium features. The Vimba X documentation contains a migration guide for Vimba users - we are happy to support you if you want to switch to Vimba X.
