ZCL-2 is a software development kit for developing software which inputs images of 1394/IIDC cameras and controls cameras. ZCL-2 has a unique driver software adopted which TechnoScope designed. Unique functions of cameras which are not compliant with IIDC standard are also supported, so ZCL-2 maximizes the camera performance.

If the camera is compliant with IIDC standard, no matter whether the camera is color or B/W, or which country it was made of, you can create a wide variety of applications compatible with cameras, and all you need is ZCL-2. Because ZCL-2 is bundled with 1394 and IIDC parts, you can build an application as easily as operating a camera without regard to the specification of standards. For unique functions of each camera which is not compatible with IIDC standard, ZCL-2 provides API for each unique function. ZCL-2 can easily maximize the high-level functions that cameras have.

ZCL-2 is compliant with various trigger modes such as issue of broadcast triggers which can work for all cameras connected to the 1394 bus at one time
