Supported by...
Most Pixelink cameras support FEATURE_FLIP; however not all cameras support this feature within the cameras. In cases where the feature is not supported within the camera, the image flipping will be done on the host computer by Pixelink API.
The user can determine which cameras support on-camera flip programmatically via the FEATURE_FLAG_EMULATION flag returned by PxLGetCameraFeatures. Note that on-camera flip is currently only supported by PL-B760 series cameras and PL-X cameras.
Description
Flip controls the orientation of the image. The image can either be flipped horizontally or flipped vertically. If the camera does not support flip, Pixelink software will provide software support for this feature.
