Since version 2.10.1 of mvIMPACT Acquire the "Merge Modules for mvIMPACT Acquire" are available as a separate download.
For this reason the installation packages are smaller now. The Merge Modules are needed for private setup routines, which shall include mvIMPACT Acquire drivers. More details are available in the mvIMPACT Acquire manuals.

mvHYPERION 32 Bit Linux
Official support for Linux 32-bit x86/i386 systems has ended. If a newer version for this architecture is required please get in contact with the support team.
Older driver versions
To be able to watch or download the drivers, you have to be registered or logged in.
Since version 1.10.69, the DirectShow® driver is part of the mvIMPACT Acquire installation package.
Since version 1.10.85, an interface to VisionPro® (Cognex) will be installed automatically when installing an MSI based mvIMPACT Acquire driver package.
