Software Decode Library (SDL)

SUPPORT YOU CAN COUNT ON

When you choose the Zebra SDL, you get the support you need. Complete documentation thoroughly covers engine hardware and SDL, providing a strong knowledge base for development engineers. And Zebra's engineering resources are available and ready to support your development and integration questions and support needs.

EXTEND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR PRODUCT
  • HOST DEVICE SOFTWARE

    Zebra's flexible SDL API allows for simple scanning control, making any application on your device scanning-enabled. With the software-only solution, you have the flexibility to easily update drivers to meet your evolving product designs.

  • Save on Cost

    Less hardware to purchase means better product margins. Since decoding no longer requires any hardware, you can preserve power for other operations and extend operating cycle times on a single battery charge.

  • Improve Product Designs

    Since SDL connects the Zebra 2D imaging engine directly to your host device central processing unit (CPU), the need for decode hardware is eliminated. SDL provides the same industry-leading algorithms used in Zebra hardware decoders.
