Configure camera settings easily with IDS peak Cockpit

This video introduces the new IDS peak Cockpit and shows how to configure camera settings quickly and efficiently without extensive programming. You will learn how to set up your IDS camera, achieve accurate colour representation, and save parameter sets for seamless reuse in your machine vision applications.

The session demonstrates the new workspace concept, powerful auto‑features, and manual controls for white balance, exposure, and ROI (Region of Interest) selection. You’ll also see how the Cockpit helps streamline workflows, reduce coding effort, and accelerate development by allowing you to create reusable camera configurations for different scenarios.
