The GenTL adaptor is the recommended way to use a GigE Vision or USB3 Vision camera in MATLAB. Using a GenTL device requires both a producer and the MATLAB GenTL adaptor. The GenTL producer is provided by the camera manufacturer or vendor. Below is a list of some camera vendors and their GenTL producers. To access your camera, select the correct vendor from the list and download its producer.
