Hi, To be able to use this camera you have to download Sapera LT 8.12 SDK (or whatever version there is now). As this SDK for me was real pain to use I have used CVB libraries that I have got from my camera provider.

Anyway:

void * pBuffer;

pSaperaBuffer->GetAddress(pSaperaBuffer->GetIndex(), &pBuffer);

"pSaperaBuffer" is the SapBuffer that's used in every Sapera ++ demo.

With that you have the starting address of the Sapera Buffer and that should help you "cast" it to an OpenCV compliant buffer.

Should also work when pBuffer is of type UINT8 (if the Nano outputs 8bit) or UINT16.

Hope this helps - for more, please check the various SapMyProcessing.cpp versions in the Sapera demos\classes\vc samples,

Anyway this is what I got from Teledyne support:

void * pBuffer;

pSaperaBuffer->GetAddress(pSaperaBuffer->GetIndex(), &pBuffer);

"pSaperaBuffer" is the ~~SapBuffer~~ SapBuffer that's used in every Sapera ++ demo.

With that you have the ~~starting~~ starting address of the Sapera Buffer and ~~that~~ that should help you "cast" it to an ~~OpenCV~~ OpenCV compliant buffer.

Should also work when pBuffer is of of type UINT8 (if the Nano outputs ~~8bit)~~ 8bit) or UINT16.

Hope this helps - for more, ~~please~~ please check the various ~~SapMyProcessing.cpp~~ SapMyProcessing.cpp versions in the ~~Sapera~~ Sapera demos\classes\vc samples,

I hope it will help you.
