Introduction Color cameras with IR filter Prosilica GT color cameras are equipped with an IR filter. With no lens or lens cap on a camera, the IR filter is exposed and debris can accumulate on it. This is the most probable location for debris. It should not be necessary to remove the IR filter for cleaning.

Camera smart features Camera smart features Allied Vision cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies a selection of interesting capabilities of the Prosilica GT camera family. A complete listing of camera controls, including control defini- tions can be found online: ...
Filters Filters All Prosilica GT color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR fil- ter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from pass- ing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced.
Camera dimensions Tripod adapter Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras can be mounted on a camera tri- pod by using mounting plate P/N 02-5036A. Note Contact your Allied Vision sales representative to purchase GT mounting plate 02-5036A. 60.0 0.50 x 45.00 5.1 7.0 1/4-20 UNC 5.0 30.0...
Camera dimensions C-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GT C-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 17.526 mm optical flange focal distance, with a ±10 μm tolerance. Prosilica GT cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount.
Page 57
Camera dimensions Image to infinity Use a C-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object—10 to 15 m should suffice. Make sure the lens is firmly threaded onto the C-Mount ring. Rotate the lens and C-Mount ring until the image is focused.
Camera dimensions F-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GT F-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 46.5 mm optical flange focal distance. Note Information on flange focal distance of Prosilica GT large format cameras with M42 / M58-Mount is available here: ...
Camera dimensions EF-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the lens mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GT1930L cameras with EF-Mount are calibrated to have < 70 μm (0.3°) Z-tilt and ±10 μm variation from standard 44 mm flange focal depth.

Camera interfaces Gigabit Ethernet port The Prosilica GT is powered through the 12-pin Hirose Camera I/O port, or the Gigabit Ethernet port by using any standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) sup- ported network card, switch, or injector. Allied Vision recommends using Cate- gory 6 or higher compatible cabling for best performance.
Camera interfaces Camera I/O connector pin assignment Pin Signal Direction Level Description Camera GND GND for RS232 and Ground for camera power ext. power supply, and RS-232 11 12 Camera Power 7–25 VDC Camera power supply Out 4 Open emitter max. Opto-isolated Output 4 20 mA (SyncOut4)
Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera Power The Prosilica GT camera can be powered through the Hirose I/O port, via Pin 1 Camera GND and Pin 2 Camera Power, or through the Gigabit Ethernet port if using a power over Ethernet (PoE) supported network card, switch, or injector. Cameras powered by both the Hirose I/O port and the Gigabit Ethernet port will use the power provided by Hirose I/O port only.
Camera interfaces Input triggers Input triggers allow the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or level of the signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
Page 65
Camera interfaces Out 1 and 2 – Non-isolated Out 1 and Out 2 signals are not electrically isolated and can be used when envi- ronmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response is required. Tie signal ground to Camera GND to complete the external circuit. The output signal is a low voltage TTL, maximum 3.3 V.
Camera interfaces Lens control Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras Prosilica GT standard and extended cameras can be used with C-/CS-Mount auto iris lenses of DC type, and P-Iris type. Both DC and P-Iris lens types use the same standard connector, shown left, located on the side of the camera.
Page 67
Camera interfaces DC-type auto iris lenses are continuously driven by a voltage (0–3.3 V) from the camera lens control port. This voltage level determines whether the lens opens or closes, and is calculated based on the applicable iris camera attributes. Operation 1.

Firmware update Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. Allied Vision provides an application for all Prosilica GT cameras that loads firmware to the camera using a simple interface. New feature introductions and product improvements motivate new firmware releases. All users are encouraged to use the newest firmware available and complete the firmware update if necessary.
Resolution and ROI frame rates Resolution and ROI frame rates This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor height from full image to a single line. Unless otherwise noted, sensors do not give an increase in readout speed with a reduction in width.
