Camera attribute highlights Camera attribute highlights AVT 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.
The Prosilica GT family supports a range of sensor configurations. To support this sensor variety while maintaining the smallest package size, a slightly lon- ger housing is used for quad tap sensor models. Prosilica GT1290, GT1380, GT1600, GT2000, GT2050, GT2450 M3x4 (4x) 65.2...
Camera dimensions Tripod adapter A Prosilica GT camera can be mounted on a camera tripod by using mounting plate P/N 02-5036A. The same mounting plate can be used for all models within the GT camera family, except the GT6600 which has a tripod mount integrated into the camera body.
Camera dimensions Adjustment of C/CS-Mount Prosilica GT cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount. The camera can also be built with a CS-Mount on request. See AVT Modular Concept for more information: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/us/support/downloads/ product-literature/avt-modular-concept.html The C-Mount or CS-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting.

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. AVT recommends using Category 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 In 7–25 VDC Camera power supply Out 4 Open emitter max. Output 4 20 mA opto-isolated (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 58
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 port Prosilica GT 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, located on the side of the camera. Lens type is automatically determined by the camera on power-up.
Page 60
Camera interfaces DC-Iris lenses The Prosilica GT operates with any standard DC-type auto iris lens. AVT tested lenses include Fujinon DV10x8SA-SA1L, Computar HG2Z0414FC-MP, and Pentax C61227DCPS. DC-type auto iris lenses are continuously driven by a voltage (0–3.3 V) from the camera lens control port.

Firmware update Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. AVT provides an application for all Prosilica GT cameras that loads firmware to the camera using a simple interface. New feature introductions and product improvements moti- vate new firmware releases. All users are encouraged to use the newest firm- ware available and complete the firmware update if necessary.
The frame rate for an ROI at the same effective height as binning will be slower because the CCD still needs to read out the “fast readout rows” in ROI mode. Prosilica GT1290 900 1000 Height [pixels] Figure 48: Frame rate vs. height for GT1290...
