+Dear patchers,
+
+here is to introduce full support for industrial cameras by [The Imaging Source](https://www.theimagingsource.com/).

+
+*"Founded in 1988, The Imaging Source is a leading manufacturer of high-performance industrial and board cameras for machine vision applications in factory automation, quality control, logistics, medicine, science, security..."* and now also a breeze to use with vvvv!
+
+Based on their [IC Imaging Control 4 SDK](https://www.theimagingsource.com/en-us/support/download/icimagingcontrol4win-1.0.0.2416/) we've created the [VL.Devices.TheImagingSource](https://www.nuget.org/packages/VL.Devices.TheImagingSource) package, implementing a node-set for you to quickly access the streams of one or multiple cameras in parallel.

+
+A cameras configuration can be read from and written to a file. Individual properties can be configured and their status be read. Dead simple to use and you can leverage the full potential of the cameras with just a few clicks.
+
