The Common Camera Interface Library (Ci) allows for seamless integration with all of BitFlow's products. In addition, the high level Buffer management library, known as BufIn, makes the task of writing an asynchronous, multiple host buffer application simple.

Windows 10 support requires BitFlow SDK 5.90 or later. The SDK is free to download from the company's website, www.bitflow.com, There are two versions of the SDK, the full development version and the drivers only version.
