1.2 RoHS Compliance CamPerform CP70-2-M/C-1000 cameras are Pb free manufactured. 1.3 Standards The camera has been developed according to following standards: • CoaXPress Standard Version 1.1.1 - JIIA CXP-001-2015 • GenICam SFNC 2.3 • GenICam PFNC 2.1 1.4 Remarks The following signs are used in this user manual to highlight some information: Remarks and additional information.
< + 40°C / ~ + 104°F (ambient temperature) > 0°C / ~ + 32°F (ambient temperature) Humidity: < 80% Optronis does not guaranty camera operation beyond above conditions and camera lifetime might be reduced. 2.1.2 Camera Handling Please be careful when using camera. Pay attention especially to: Camera power Please be careful when powering camera.
2.2 Setting Up System 2.2.1 Typical System Configuration A typical system with Optronis CoaXPress camera is composed of: • An Optronis CoaXPress camera • CoaXPress cables • An acquisition and control system (a CoaXPress Frame Grabber in a PC) •...

3.2.3 Glass Filter Color cameras (CP70-12-C-188 model) are delivered with an IR filter placed in front of the sensor. Its typical transmittance is illustrated on Figure 6. Figure 6: Glass Filter typical transmittance (1830-SS-10 IR Filter) -13-...
4 Camera Main Features This paragraph describes camera main features and how they can be used. It focuses on principles and overall understanding of these features. The camera control interface and specific values used to access these features are detailed in later paragraph”6.2. XML Main Entries - Features Description, page 29”. As explained later, these features are controlled by an XML file divided in “entries”.
Figure 7: Camera Single ROI control 4.2 Available CXP Configurations The CoaXPress standard allows a lot of different configurations (number of cables, transfer rates, …). You may want to change it to fit your system needs. This camera is compatible with: •...
4.3 Acquisition Control - Frame Generation and Synchronization The camera frame acquisition is controlled by using camera XML AcquisitionStart and AcquisitionStop commands. The camera frame acquisition can be synchronized by 3 different ways: • Camera Internal Generator: (AcquisitionMode = “Continuous”) In this mode, the camera uses its own sync generator and generates frames continuously when acquisition is started.
4.4 Frame Rate and Exposure • Camera Internal generator: (AcquisitionMode = “Continuous”) Frame rate: In this mode, frame rate is defined by camera register and can be modified using camera XML control interface. Exposure: In this mode, the exposure is defined by camera register and can be modified using camera XML control interface.
4.4.1 Synchronization timings Figure 8: Sync Timings 4.4.1.1 @ Internal Synchronization Timings are controlled by camera. Using XML interface range ensures that timings are respected. 4.4.1.2 @ External Synchronization T2 is controlled by user external generator signal period T1 is controlled by camera 4.4.1.3 @Synchronization over CoaXPress T2 is controlled by CoaXPress frame grabber “signal”...
4.4.2 Max & Min FPS Camera maximum FPS can be reached at default CoaXPress configuration. If you reduce CoaXPress speed (ex: CXP6 to CXP5 or CXP3), the maximum FPS is reduced. = . ...
4.6 Image Enhancement 4.6.1 LUT A Look Up Table (LUT) is programmed in camera firmware during production to optimize image linearity. This feature is enabled by default (“On”) and can be disabled (“Off”) to display raw pixels. LUT correction is controlled by XML entry: •...
4.8 Save User Configuration to Flash Camera can boot using a specific user configuration stored in its flash memory. At power up, the camera uses any user configuration previously saved. If no user configuration is there, the camera boots using the default factory configuration.
5 Camera Hardware Interface 5.1 Connectors and LED 5.1.1 Identify Connectors and LED Positions Figure 9: CP70 HW Identification 5.1.2 Powering Camera Camera can be powered either by Power over Coaxpress (PoCXP) or using its external power connector. 5.1.2.1 Using PoCXP When using PoCXP, the power is supplied by the Frame Grabber through CXP cable on cable n°1.
Power connector is used to power camera when using an external power supply instead of power over CoaXPress feature (PoCXP). The connector is labelled “Pwr” for CP70. Optronis Camera accessory “Power supply” is recommended when using an external power supply. Alternatively, your power supply must respect bellow characteristics: CP70 Series...
5.1.4 Auxiliary Connector Auxiliary connector is used to access camera Sync In and Sync Out IOs and for firmware updates. The connector is labelled “Aux” for CP70. Camera accessory “Pigtail cable” gives user 2 x 50-ohm BNC connectors to access Sync IN and Sync Out signals.
5.1.4.1 Sync In The Sync In camera input is TTL adapted (high impedance). To adapt to 50 Ohm, please add an external 50 Ohm termination. The input principle is described by Figure 12. To operate Sync In correctly, a Sync In driver has to be used with a minimum sink current (TTL low level) of 5mA.
5.1.5 CoaXPress Status LEDs LED colors and states are defined by CoaXPress standard. The table here after is listed all possibilities. Camera LEDs Colors Camera LED States Orange Solid Green Fast Flash 12.5Hz (20ms on, 60ms off) Slow Flash 0.5Hz (1s on, 1s off) Slow pulse 1Hz (200ms on, 800ms off)
6.1.1 CoaXPress GenICam Compliant Interface The camera control is based on camera registers accesses (read and/or write). Some of these registers are defined by CoaXPress standard and others are Optronis specific and are used to controlled camera specific features. The camera firmware contains a GenICam / CoaXPress compliant XML file which gives access to all required camera registers and thus allows a simplified control of the camera by any CoaXPress compliant Frame Grabber.
6.1.4.1 Numbers (Integer, Float, …) For numbers (integer, float, etc…), limits are defined by: • All these entries consist in a 4bytes register access. • Masked = If a bit mask must be applied when accessing this value • Min = Minimum possible value •...
