Manual installation

Please note: If you want to connect a second Ximea video camera and have already installed the Ximea API please jump to step 2.) of the installation steps below.

Requirements

• Ximea API installer version 4.00.05 / 2014-02-19 (please refer to the download section of the website ximea.com)
• Administrator privileges to install drivers and software on the system

Installation steps

1. When installing the Ximea API at least the following packages must be enabled for installation:
   • Drivers
   • API/m3Api
   • API/xiApi
   • API/xiApi.NET
   • API/xiDirectShow
2. After the installation connect the video camera and wait for the camera to finish the driver installation.
3. If the system user under which the OptoJump/OptoGait software gets executed has no admin rights it is necessary to register the connected Ximea cameras to DirectShow manually. In this case execute the file “API\x86\xiDirectShow_ReEnum.exe” from the Ximea installation folder (usually C:\Ximea) with admin rights (right-click “Run as administrator”) to make all connected Ximea video cameras available in the OptoJump/OptoGait software. This step must be repeated for each new Ximea camera attached to the computer.
