eSDK Pro API Overview

The eSDK Pro API provides the foundational classes used to build, configure, and execute high-performance image-processing pipelines. It defines the runtime environment, device control, data flow, and task-management interfaces that power all eSDK Pro applications.

These classes form the structural core of the SDK—from system initialization and camera acquisition to task scheduling and error handling.

The classes listed below are documented in their own topics, with complete C++ signatures and descriptions.

For advanced extension and custom processing, see the eSDK Pro Plugin API Overview, which describes how to create user-defined tasks using the same framework.

API Class Summary

Class	Category	Purpose / Description
`System`	Runtime Environment	Initializes and manages the SDK context.
`Server`	Networking / Control	Coordinates communication between local or remote processing nodes.
`Camera`	Device Interface	Represents a connected camera and provides acquisition control.
`Camera Parameter Classes`	Device Configuration	Define and control camera-specific operational parameters.
`Pipeline`	Processing Framework	Represents the directed graph that connects and executes processing tasks.
`Port`	Data Flow Interface	Defines input and output channels through which tasks exchange data.
`Task`	Processing Logic	Represents a unit of work in the pipeline, such as acquisition, encoding, or display.
`Task Parameter Classes`	Configuration	Provide runtime control over task-specific behavior through typed parameters.
`Frame`	Data Representation	Encapsulates image data and metadata flowing between tasks.
`Error Handling`	Diagnostics	Defines exception and error-code types used throughout the SDK.
