- A Trigger Debounce tool allows the delay used to debounce the trigger input to be adjusted to accommodate analog or TTL input signals.

Added support for the synchronization of sensor scans between cameras, to improve PTP synchronized frame captures (on PL-X cameras). This includes ACTION_SENSOR_SYNC and EVENT_SENSOR_SYNCHRONIZED.

PxLSetPreviewStateEx behaves identically to PxLSetPreviewState – but has an additional callback function to accommodate changes made to the preview window (required for Linux implementation).

Elliptically polarizedformula

Added a new flag used by PxLInitializeEx; CAMERA_INITIALIZE_EX_FLAG_ISSUE_STREAM_STOP. Use of this flag will send a stream stop command to the camera as it is initialized (this can be useful when debugging applications).

USB cameras no longer left in a streaming state if the controlling application shuts down without properly stopping streaming.

Added ability to limit auto operations (exposure, gain, and white balance) to a subset of the region of interest (if supported by the camera).

FEATURE_FOCUS can now accept to 2 parameters when PxLSetFeature is called with the FEATURE_FLAG_ONEPUSH bit of the flags register is set (to perform a one-time auto focus operation). These two additional parameters (if supplied) will represent the range over which the auto focus is to be applied.

Added the new feature FEATURE_SPECIAL_CAMERA_MODE.  This feature is only supported on certain camera models that support atypical modes of operation.  It allows you to put the camera in a special mode of operation that accommodates a wider range of frame rates..

Increased overall robustness of the USB 3.0 link on certain systems that made extensive use of USB 3.0 power saving options.

The API contains a new video capture engine, capable of encoding compressed video (H.264) contained in either .avi or .mp4 files.

Elliptical polarization example

Support for 4 flexible GPIO lines. Any of the 4 GPIO lines can be programmatically assigned as a GPI, GPO, or hardware trigger

- A Flat Field calibration tool can be used to field program the flat field calibration based on the application specific lighting and optics.

Added support for General Purpose Input (GPI) for all PL-D cameras (a firmware upgrade is necessary). This new feature allows a user to recast the camera's hardware trigger input, as a GPI.

PxLGetCurrentTimestamp to allow an application to sample the image timestamp clock of a camera (without actually capturing an image).

Added support of the feature FEATURE_AUTO_ROI to the PL-D camera line.  This new feature, when used with the FEATURE_WHITE_SHADING to allow the user to white balance the camera using a specified portion of the image.

Improvements made to GigE cameras, addressing communication issues that could occur under heavy load. To get the full effect of these improvements, use Pleora's eBus Optimal driver, and IP Engine firmware 2.1.5 or later.

Added support for Navitar (Generation 2) Zoom and Fine Focus Controller. The Pixelink API / applications can now control motorized variants of the Navitar’s Zoom 6000, Zoom 12x, and Zoom 12x UltraZoom lenses.

Added support for the pixel format PIXEL_FORMAT_XXXX_PACKED_MSFIRST.  This new 12-bit packed pixel format may be used with certain models of PL-D cameras.

Updates to support new 10 Gigabit Ethernet cameras (PL-X variants). This includes support for new API features that takes advantage of the new functionality added with the camera platform (see What's New with the API).
