UpdatorGUI2 release with FlyCapture 2.1 SDK
-------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the new utilities included with the FlyCapture^® 2.1 SDK is the UpdatorGUI2 utility.

Using the multi-platform features of FlyCapture2, this new UpdatorGUI2 utility can now be run on both Windows and Debian based Linux operating systems. There is also a command line option allowing users to update their cameras through a script or batch file for easy upgrade.

The UpdatorGUI2 utility uses a new encryption for firmware files (.ez2) as opposed to the previous .ezm files. The latest firmware added to the downloads site will include the new .ez2 files.

For users who would like the new encryption files for old firmware releases, or for any further questions or info on the UpdatorGUI2 utility, please contact support@ptgrey.com.

Download FlyCapture 2.1 SDK from Point Grey's downloads site.
