3.2.2 What causes the CCD imager to get dirty? Dust and dirt are the culprits. At DVC, professional cameras are manufactured under strict conditions and assembled in a dust-free room. Before shipping, each camera is tested and checked to assure that it meets stringent specifications for cleanliness and quality. Although we take extreme care to produce a dust-free camera, changing lenses, or static can cause debris to appear on the imager. -
Page 12: Camera Power Supply
5. If dust spots remain, repeat this procedure using a clean moistened swab. 3.3 CAMERA POWER SUPPLY DVC provides a power supply for use with the DVC-1312 camera. The electrical and optical specification of the camera are guaranteed only when used with DVC supplied accessories. -

Please refer to the RS232 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 grabber to the camera:... -
Page 22: 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 23: Strobe
7.2.2 Strobe In many applications, objects in the field of view can be moving too rapidly to be properly imaged under normal conditions. A combination of the high-speed shutter and a strobe may be used to stop motion. It is often desired to synchronize the strobe action with the camera exposure. For this purpose, a STROBE output pulse is generated within the camera. -

Page 25: Figure 7.2-3: Timing Diagram-Hdo Mode
In the HDO and HDL shutter modes, an asynchronous falling edge on the VRST_INT (TTL) or INPUT1 (LVDS) 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 26: N Frame Integration
7.3 N FRAME INTEGRATION NFR: "N" frame integration (low speed shutter) 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-1312 camera, the duration of... -
Page 27: Reset Operation In N-Frame Integration Mode
exposure can be set from 1-to-1024 frames, in 1-frame increments. Note: since one frame is 1/12sec or 83.33msec, the range of control is from 1/12sec to 85.5 sec. If the exposure is set to, for example, 1 second ; this translates to 12 frame-periods (12 x 1/12sec = 1sec). -

Page 29: Binning
In order to maintain synchronization with a frame grabber, the pixel clock and enable line signals are un-interrupted during exposure and subsequent readout. The enable frame signal, however, is set "low" during exposure and goes "high" only during readout to signify that the accumulated frame is being read out and may be captured by the frame grabber. -

manipulation in the field-of-view etc. and then revert to a full-resolution 12f/s color image after determining an image of interest. 7.7 SLOW SCAN Slow scan: The read noise of a CCD is significantly affected by the scanning rate. Some users wish to improve the read noise by slow-scanning the CCD. -
Page 33: Intensicam
7.8 INTENSICAM 7.8.1 Introduction The Intensicam is a special version of a 1312 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. -
Page 34: 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 35: Intensicam & Cview
7.8.4 Intensicam & CView 1) In CView, there is an "Intensify" button on the control panel that is (by default) RED in color. As long as this button is RED, the Intensifier is gated OFF (to protect the camera). Although the camera is connected (and a frames/sec counter is visible in the LHS of the viewing window), the image will remain black. -
Page 36: Application Notes
The following information is provided to assist software developers to create a high-resolution color image from the digitized data that is provided by the DVC-1312C Camera. 1) The electronics within the camera are the same for the monochrome as well as for the R-G-B version of the camera. - Page 37 R=110, G=300, B=200 R=200, G=300, B=110 (fluorescent lighting) (incandescent lighting) Figure 8.1-2: Examples of Bayer Pattern values for fluorescent and incandescent light Both cases require correction, because a white object should have R=G=B data values. The simplest correction would involve "equalizing" the data - if the Green pixel values are kept unchanged and the Red and Blue pixel values are multiplied by appropriate "gain"...

Page 38: Gamma Correction
8.1.4 Gamma Correction In order to compensate for the non-linearity of monitors, a gamma correction curve needs to be applied to the color corrected digitized pixel values. A default value of 0.6 may be provided, although in some applications, this may need to be a user-supplied number. 8.1.5 Color Coding For each digitized pixel value (after color correction AND gamma correction) it is necessary to... -
Page 39: Rs-232 Interface Definition For Dvc1310A / 1312A Cameras (Lvds Cameras Only)
(LVDS Cameras Only) 9.1 INTRODUCTION The following is a definition of the RS-232 interface for the DVC-1310A/1312A cameras. RS-232 control is standard within all DVC131X cameras that use LVDS outputs to connect with suitable frame grabber boards; it can be controlled via a communication program (such as Windows HyperTerminal) or within a larger program, such as C-View. -
Page 40: Camera Controls
9.4 CAMERA CONTROLS The camera has the following parameters that can be controlled or queried via the RS232 port: 9.4.1 Gain The camera gain is controlled by means of an analog voltage (0-to-3VDC). This parameter is supplied by the host PC as a two digit hex data argument to the command GAI and converted to an analog voltage using an 8-bit Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC). -
Page 41: Exposure
Offset (%) -15% 0%(power-on default) Table 9.4-3: Before Rev 6.0 9.4.3 Exposure The argument of the EXP command sets the camera exposure by controlling an internal “exposure bus” which is made up of 11 data bits DB[10:0]. The power-on default value of EXP is 7FF. An exposure command with the syntax "EXP 7FF"... - Page 42 Pulse Driven Exposure (external): this is a "special" mode of operation in which the exposure of the camera is set via a user-determined pulse. In the external (PDX) version of this mode, the user supplies an external VRST_INT pulse – at the falling edge, the camera starts to integrate charge on the CCD.
-
Page 43: Special Commands
Version: The VER (followed by a carriage return) command queries the camera and returns the characters DVC and a two byte hex code representing a "major revision" and a "minor revision". A typical response to the command VER is DVC6.0. -
Page 44: Intensifier Control
9.5.1 Intensifier Control The luminous gain of Intensifier tube is controlled in a log-linear fashion via the serial port (IGN parameter). The intensifier may also be gated to provide duty-cycle control of its "on" time--the gating is internally derived but controlled via the serial port (IPO and IPD parameters) in several different modes (set by the IMD parameter). - Page 45 • Command "IMD ION": sets the INT_PULSE to be always LOW; this will set the Intensifier in the ON state, allowing its gain to be adjusted using the IGN command. Pulse control of the Intensifier gate is not possible in this mode. IPO and IPD settings are ignored. •...
