The device would send images over a network port, and we would be looking to convert them into NDArrays as you describe.

The device would be controlled via an IOC.  We will likely use Stream Device, which we have used successfully for a similar control scheme.  The commands would be ASCII based.  The image data is in binary, and at present we are looking towards UDP, although we may use TCP.
