Antoine,
thanks for your declaration, however I have a huge project which should be finished in December.
I already read the Pylon5 documentation, compared  the GigE commands to the USB3, made some changes (possibly mess) in the CameraProperties.cpp - deleted the unused commands like IP address, replaced the old commands with the new or similar ones etc, but cannot compile on ubuntu 18.04.
As I wrote earlier, most of the functionalities are not urgent, image processing is needed as the rest can be loaded from the user settings at start up.
Maybe we should talk to Iohannes, as he wrote the original plugin to GigE cameras, but he is on holiday until the weekend.
Best,
Popesz

Hi, 

I could have a look into Pylon pluging in the next few months, but I do not garantee any deadline since my todo list is almost full until december
If no one else did the trick, ping me in one month or so to remind me what I'm writing today :-)

It should not be a hard update, I believe all the functionality if the pylon API is not needed, as these cameras have their user profile to be loaded at startup. 
Image processing into pix_video is already a good solution.
But let's plan it for USB3, the speed is incomparable to GigE cameras.

by the way i use extensively vintage PAL cameras with GEM on mac since 15 years,  and i would love some update allowing for faster cameras and higher definition cameras because i fear things will simply not work anymore one of these days… means it won’t be possible to find standard definition cameras for instance, cameras which long ago disappeared from macs.

i react to the donation issue : i would be ready to give some personal money for quicktime compatibility, maybe some other pd users would also do so … 
because this is in my case personal money and not institutional money, maybe there could be a way to set up something like a kickstarter project with many contributors (backers) all of this resulting in a decent amount … ?
just thinking ...

Dear list!
as we know Gem is already quite outdated, the videoPYLON plugin was written in 2011.
Since that time USB3 has arrived and the GigE cameras are not as efficient as the new technology (2.5x faster connection is the USB3)
Pylon has already version 5.x (opensource) and provides driver to both USB3 and GigE cameras.

Anyway, I would like to ask if someone has the time to update the code for the fresh USB3 cameras, donation is possible!

here are the link to Pylon:
and the videoPYLON code on git:

Please let me know if anybody interested!

Best,

Popesz
