    2.5 OPTIONAL ITEMS The following items are optional items and may be ordered from authorized dealers of DVC. They are not typically supplied with each Camera. 1. Lenses and/or other optical elements 2. Third party image analysis software, e.g. ImagePro, Adobe Photoshop®, QED Imaging, Improvision, etc.
  • Page 13: Maintenance

    Avoid contact with connector pins when cables and plugs are removed. Depending on the model, your DVC camera may contain a glass, infra-red blocking filter to prevent infra-red light from reaching the CCD sensor. This filter is integral to the lens mounting ring and it also protects the CCD sensor faceplate or other optical components from contamination and direct contact.
  • Page 14: Cleaning The Lens

    CCD faceplate may void the warranty. 3.2 Cleaning Guidelines Frequent lens changes, especially without careful attention to contaminants, can allow debris to accumulate on the infra-red blocking filter and lens surfaces. Therefore, DVC Company provides the following guidelines for cleaning those components. 3.2.1 Cleaning the lens or optical assembly Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning.
  • Page 15 (such as space heaters) or open flame! Use only with proper ventilation. Follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alcohol product. If contamination continues to be a problem, please call DVC Customer Service for assistance. 3.2.3 Cleaning the intensifier front element (intensified cameras) The intensifier front element is the glass plate visible when the lens is removed.
  • Page 16 Caution: This procedure will cause the focus calibration to be lost. Readjustment of the lens back focus will be required after reassembly 1. Loosen the lens mount lock ring with the wrench supplied by DVC 2. Unscrew the lens mount/filter assembly ring from the camera body and remove the lock ring from the lens mount ring 3.
  • Page 17 5. Hold the lens cap and rotate the lens ring anti-clockwise and then remove the lens ring. 6. Remove the filter from the filter ring with lens tissue and store in a protective container 7. Replace the lens ring on to the filter ring and screw on clockwise 8.
  • Page 18 9. Screw the lock ring back onto the lens mount ring and screw both back onto the camera. Adjust focus by loosening the lock ring and rotating the lens mount ring to adjust the lens-to-CCD distance. To re-install the IR filter or other filters, reverse the above procedure.

  • Page 24: Video Processing

    5.2.1.2 Charge Transfer During the Vertical blanking interval, the charge that was integrated in each active charge site during the previous exposure (normally 1/10 sec, or one frame) is shifted to an adjacent opaque storage charge site. In the figure below, active charge sites are designated by the letter “I” for integration and the opaque storage charge sites are designated by the letter “S”...
  • Page 25: Voltage Regulation

    5.2.4 Voltage Regulation Input voltages (+15V, -15V and +5V) are converted into several positive and negative voltages required by the CCD and in the video processing circuits. 5.2.5 Timing This logic block on the CCD and Video board performs the following functions: •...

Please refer to the serial mode commands details in Section 9.4. NRR: Normal mode with reset NOR: Normal without reset In the normal mode of operation, the following signals are used to synchronize a digital frame...
  • Page 27: High Speed Shutter

    Every horizontal line during the next frame, one line of the charge matrix in the opaque storage sites is shifted vertically into a horizontal shift register. The horizontal shift register is clocked out, one pixel at a time, on to a charge detection node that converts it to a voltage, which can be sampled and digitized.
  • Page 28: Reset & Shutter

    purpose, a STROBE output pulse is generated within the camera. The STROBE output pulse allows an external strobe light to be turned on during the exposure period. Since the duration of the exposure is a user-programmable setting, the start-time (relative to the vertical timing of the camera) and the duration of the STROBE output pulse also vary, depending upon the shutter setting.
  • Page 29 NOTE: Frame grabbers have the ability to control the differential input (CC1+, CC1-) or (INPUT1+, INPUT1-) of the camera. This is facilitated by connecting them via two wires within the camera-framegrabber interface cable to differential frame grabber outputs that are driven by a General Purpose register bit that is to be controlled by host software.
  • Page 30: Reset Modes

    7.2.4 Reset Modes In the HDO and HDL shutter modes, an asynchronous falling edge on the VRST_INT (TTL) or CC1/INPUT1 (differential) input of the camera is used to synchronize the exposure period of the camera to the outside world (the rising edge is not significant, however, the LOW duration should last at least 1µsec).
  • Page 31: Figure 7.2-4: Hdl Mode

    7.2.4.2 High speed shutter with discharge (HDL) If an asynchronous reset occurs while the camera is in this mode, the residual charge in the storage area from a previous exposure is flushed out (discharged) by a sequence of vertical channel transfer pulses.
  • Page 32: N Frame Integration

    When the low-speed shutter mode (or N Frame Integration mode) is selected, the duration of exposure is set as an integral number of frames. For the DVC-1412 camera, the duration of exposure can be set from 1-to-1024 frames, in 1-frame increments. NOTE: since one frame is 1/10sec or 100msec, the range of control is from 1/10sec to 102 sec.
  • Page 33: Pulse Driven Exposure

    CCD chip, detectable only in very long exposures. The DVC 1412A cameras employ a proprietary technique that results in a 10x reduction of “diode glow” in the ultra long exposure mode.
  • Page 34: Binning

    When the Pulse Driven Exposure mode is selected, the duration of exposure is set by the user via the LOW duration of an externally generated pulse. A falling edge of the pulse clears the imager and initiates exposure, a subsequent rising edge terminates exposure, resets the vertical counter within the camera and initiates readout of the acquired frame.

  • Page 38: Sub-Array / Region Of Interest (Roi )

    In many applications, users wish to designate a particular Region of Interest (ROI) within the entire image. The ROI feature of the DVC-1412 allows the definition of a band of pixel-rows that are selected for readout. The CCD is then fast-scanned through the un-selected areas, allowing for a faster overall frame rate of only the selected area.
  • Page 39: Advantages

    trimmed in display with software unwanted - fast scan wanted wanted [normal scan] [normal scan] unwanted - fast scan 7.7.2 Advantages ROI allows faster frame rate without compromising spatial resolution. The benefit of ROI is that fewer lines are scanned instead of scanning all lines of the CCD. Thus, a higher number of frames per second are achieved.
  • Page 40: Slow Scan

    In the present implementation, ROI and BIN are mutually exclusive commands. This will be changed in later versions. 7.8 SLOW SCAN Slow scan: The read noise of a CCD can be significantly affected by the readout rate. Some users wish to improve the read noise by slow-scanning the CCD. This is provided in the camera by means of a clock multiplexer scheme;...
  • Page 41: Intensicam-1412

    7.9 INTENSICAM-1412 7.9.1 Introduction The Intensicam-1412 is a special version of a 1412 camera in which a gated Gen III image intensifier is fiber-optically bonded to the front surface of the CCD. Due to the high luminous gain of the Intensifier tube, every incident photon generates thousands of electrons within the tube. Even under very low-light conditions, this results in a live image on the phosphor of the Intensifier, which is viewable by the CCD.
  • Page 42: Spectral Response

    Fiber-optic module: This is used to couple the image that is generated on the phosphor of the image intensifier to the CCD. Since the optical format of the image intensifier is 1” and that of the CCD is 2/3”, a taper is used for the reduction. High voltage power supply: This is used to generate the voltages that are necessary for the performance of the image intensifier.
  • Page 43: Intensicam & Dcview

    IMMEDIATELY uncheck the box to turn OFF the Intensifier. Then, after readjusting the optics, the process may be repeated until suitable viewing conditions exist. For further instructions on using DVCView, please refer to the DVCView User Manual, available at the DVC website: www.dvcco.com...
