//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Sample illustrating the use of the VideoCapture  //
// interface in combination with PvAPI interface    //
//                                                  //
// Succesfully tested on Prosilica and Manta series //

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Some remarks for ensuring the correct working of the interface between camera
// and the pc from which you will capture data - Linux based settings. The settings
// for Windows are the same, but edited in the graphical interface of the
// network card.
//
// You have to be sure that OpenCV is built with the PvAPI interface enabled.
//
// FIRST CONFIGURE IP SETTINGS
// - Change the IP address of your pc to 169.254.1.1
// - Change the subnet mask of your pc to 255.255.0.0
// - Change the gateway of your pc to 169.254.1.2
//
// CHANGE SOME NETWORK CARD SETTINGS
// - sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000 - or 9016 ideally if your card supports that
