- Microsoft signed drivers for Windows Vista/7/8 32 bit and 64 bit.
- User friendly installation wizard.
ubCore™ combined with FireAPI™ (Unibrain’s 1394 Development Toolkit), provides to the software developer a powerful set of functions and tools that enables him to integrate 1394 technology into his product.
Features
ubCore™ drivers come into 2 “flavors” (versions): ‘ubCore’ and ‘ubCore Pro‘.
ubCore™ is oriented for end users who want to utilize the full Firewire-800 speed of their 1394b devices (webcams, firewire hard drives, networking) and it is available as a free download, while ubCore Pro™ is oriented for professional users and FireAPI™ SDK customers.
ubCore Pro™ is not free; a FireAPI license is required for it’s full features and applications to be activated.
The same license is also required so that applications developed with FireAPI SDK, will execute in runtime systems.
