HCImage Live is a basic imaging application that is included with the purchase of a Hamamatsu camera. It provides comprehensive control of Hamamatsu cameras using the DCAM-API driver. HCImage Live includes the necessary tools for basic image acquisition, processing and analysis, all in a flexible, easy-to-use application.
We have designed a software API to be used by all Hamamatsu digital cameras; it is named DCAM-API (Digital CAMera Application Programming Interface).
The purpose of DCAM-API is:
- To standardize camera control and functionality of all Hamamatsu digital cameras.
- To bridge all the different RS-422/LVDS, CamLink, RS-232, IEEE-1394, USB software API and interfaces (Ex. Phoenix SDK, IFC, File I/O Serial, OHCI 1394, USB EHCI, etc.) into one defined set of API functions.
- To allow for future expandability of the API with limitless and seamless integration of digital cameras and interfaces without the need for re-building the host application to support them.
- A simple, yet powerful set of functions to control all the necessary features and data acquisition control functions of our cameras.
- Dynamic detection of camera features and control.
DCAM-API is currently supported on Microsoft Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and Linux. Please click on the Download link to learn about and download the latest official driver runtime for your platform.
All Modules are DLL’s in Windows.
- The application’s communication with all the installed cameras in the system is done through one entry point – The DCAM-API Library.
- The DCAM-API Library contains all the defined exported functions of the API.
- DCAM-API is responsible for connecting all registered DCAM-API Modules to the host application.
- Basic flow
- Application layer (host) initializes the DCAM-API Library.
- DCAM-API initializes each module and queries how many devices are found.
- Total count is returned back to the host. Host can open a connection to any of the devices by index.
- Once opened, all communication and data acquisition to that device through its connected interface are handled with the link.
- There is no theoretical limit to how many devices or how many links are opened.
- Allows for simultaneous control/acquisition of multiple devices.
- Dynamic property and image data type querying. Common memory management.
- When done, the connection is closed to each module/device, then the API is cleaned up and closed..

Description
HiPic is Hamamatsu’s software with emphasis on physical and industrial applications.
Not only all Hamamatsu monochrome DCAM based cameras like e.g. sCMOS ORCA-Flash series or ImagEM EM-CCD cameras are supported. Internal driver modules allow the use of line sensors or X-ray cameras, TDI cameras and analogue cameras with HiPic, too. In the newest version image intensifiers and mini-spectrometers are integrated now as well.
HiPic is easy to use and offers besides full control of all camera features various analysis functions like sophisticated correction algorithms, calibration, arithmetical operations, ROI analysis and much more. A sophisticated remote control feature allows to integrating its functionality in other software packages, to control it from other operating systems like Unix or Linux, or to control several systems from one control software.
Supported Hardware
All Hamamatsu monochrome cameras, image intensifiers, flat panel sensors, X-ray cameras, Microfocus X-Ray sources and mini-spectrometers
Operating System
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
