B9.1.4 Still Image Devices - Windows Experience
Design Guidelines: WIA at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/wia/
B9.1.4.1 Device uses USB or IEEE 1394 connection
A digital still camera must use either USB or IEEE 1394 port connections. Other port connections may be present on the device, if these port connections meet Logo Program requirements.
It is possible to create a camera that appears to the operating system to be a storage device (and not a camera) by supporting the USB Mass Storage Class specification in camera firmware. In this case, the device is a storage device and must adhere to storage specifications. However, Microsoft will not grant a "Designed for Windows" logo to cameras that only appear as hard drives to Windows. The reason for this exclusion is that such a device is specifically not designed for Windows, and it loses functionality when attached to a Windows-based PC. A camera that is designed for Windows retains camera functionality when attached, so the user can take advantage of the imaging feature sets in Windows.
B9.1.4.2 Device associates an ICC profile
Devices that create sRGB output must associate the "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" Windows default ICC profile with the device.
Devices using a vendor-supplied ICC profile or profiles must associate this profile or profiles with the device.
Windows supports using color profiles that comply with the Specification ICC.1:1998-09 File Format for Color Profiles. The ICM APIs and functionality for Windows are defined in the Microsoft Platform SDK and the Windows DDK. For more information, see the Color Management web page at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/color/
For color-capable devices that do not default to sRGB output, the vendor must install and associate one or more ICC profiles for ICM. Devices that are sRGB compliant do not need to provide an ICC profile. The sRGB profile is distributed in Windows.
The requirements for sRGB are defined in IEC 61966-2-1 Multimedia systems and equipment – Colour measurement and management – Part 2-1: Colour management – Default RGB colour space – sRGB.
B9.1.4.3- B9.1.4.5 DELETED B9.1.4.6 Digital camera uses PC-compatible file system for removable storage
For devices that include removable flash memory, the memory must use one of the following PC-compatible file systems:
-
Media integrates an ATA controller, or Flash Translation Layer.
-
Media implements a PC-compatible file system (FATxx or NTFS), or proprietary file system is installed using Installable file system (IFS).
-
A PC Card ATA flash card must support at least one LogConfig with an IRQ resource.
B9.1.4.6.1 Media integrates an ATA controller B9.1.4.6.2 Device file system installs via the Windows XP Installable File System. B9.1.4.6.3 Device ships with a Windows Media Device Manager (WMDM) pluggable service provider. B9.1.4.7 DELETED B9.1.4.8 DELETED B9.1.4.9 Digital camera stores images in JPEG-compressed file format
A digital still camera must provide the user with the option to store images in a JPEG-compressed format.
B9.1.4.10 Asynchronous imaging device with an IEEE 1394 interface uses SBP2Port
SBP2Port.sys is the IEEE 1394 transport driver in Windows. It provides transport services for SCSI-like commands over IEEE 1394. Scanners must use SBP2Port to communicate over IEEE 1394 if converting the device from a SCSI or SCSI-like interface. Implementation details for bus-specific transfer protocols are defined in the “Storage Drivers” section of the Windows DDK.
