SVS-VISTEK 3 Connectors 3.1 Dual GigE Vision Any dual GigE camera can be run as well with a single network connection. Dual GigE connection is required only if single network connection does not provide sufficient bandwidth. For dual GigE operation, 2 NICs need to be teamed. NIC teaming is a feature of the operating system.
SVS-VISTEK 3.1.1 Teaming Dual GigE For higher transfer rates on GigE, you might want to team 2 GigE ports together. The host computer requires 2 network interfaces or a dual NIC. The configuration below shows the configuration. Teaming is an operating system task. The data stream will use both (teamed) network interfaces at the same time with the maximum interface bandwidth each.

SVS-VISTEK 4 The HR Camera Series Focusing on details The SVCam HR series is a series of industrial machine vision cameras featuring especially on very high image resolutions and interface high speed without compromising on image quality. Camera sensors and interfaces are built to deliver maximum sensor and interface bandwidth.
Page 17
4IO adds Light and Functionality 4IO concept with up to 4 switching LED lights Your SVS-Vistek camera is equipped with the innovative 4IO-interface allowing full light control, replacing external strobe controllers. Each of the outputs can be individually configured and managed using pulse- width modulation.
SVS-VISTEK 5 Feature description This chapter covers features of SVCam cameras. Not every feature might be supported by your specific camera model. For information about the features of your specific model, please refer to the specifications area with your exact model.
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.4 Acquisition and Processing Time The camera has to read the sensor, process the data to a valid image and transfer this to the host computer. Some of these tasks are done in parallel. This implies the data transfer does not end immediately after end of exposure, as the image has to be processed and transferred after exposure.
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.7 Color Color cameras are identical to the monochrome versions. The color pixels are transferred in sequence from the camera, in the same manner as the monochrome, but considered as “raw”-format. CCD with Bayer Pattern The camera sensor has a color mosaic filter called “Bayer” filter pattern named after the person who invented it.
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.8 Resolution As mentioned in the specifications, there is a difference between the numerical sensor resolution and the camera resolution. Some pixels towards the borders of the sensor will be used only internally to calibrate sensor values (“dark pixels”). The amount of dark current in these areas is used to adjust the offset.
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.10 Gain Setting gain above 0 dB (default) is a way to boost the signal coming from the sensor. Especially useful for low light conditions. Setting gain amplifies the signal of individual or binned pixels before the ADC. Referring to photography adding gain corresponds to increasing ISO.
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.11 Flip Image Images can be mirrored horizontally or vertically. Image flip is done inside the memory of the camera, therefor not increasing the CPU load of the PC. original image horizontal flip vertical flip Feature description...
SVS-VISTEK 5.1.12 Binning Binning provides a way to enhance dynamic range, but at the cost of lower resolution. Binning combines electron charges from neighboring pixels directly on the chip, before readout. Binning is only used with monochrome CCD Sensors. For reducing resolution on color sensors refer to decimation.
Page 25

SVS-VISTEK 5.1.13 Decimation For reducing width or height of an image, decimation can be used. Columns or rows can be ignored. Refer to AOI for reducing data rate by reducing the region you are interested in. Horizontal decimation Vertical decimation...
(as soon as there is enough time later on to deliver the images) (not applicable to USB cameras) Please note, as soon as the internal memory buffer is filled up, frames will be dropped. Due to this reason, SVS-Vistek camers provide up to 512MB image buffer memory. Feature description...
SVS-VISTEK 5.2 Camera Features 5.2.1 Basic Capture Modes Free Running Free running (fixed frequency) with programmable exposure time. Frames are readout continously and valid data is indicated by LVAL for each line and FVAL for the entire frame. There is no need to trigger the camera in order to get data. Exposure time is programmable via serial interface and calculated by the internal logic of the camera.
Page 29
At the rising edge of the trigger the camera will initiate the exposure. The software provided by SVS-Vistek allows the user to set exposure time e.g. from 60 μs 60 Sec (camera type dependent).
Page 30
SVS-VISTEK Exposure time can be changed during operation. No frame is distorted during switching time. If the configuration is saved to the EEPROM, the set exposure time will remain also when power is removed. Detailed Info of External Trigger Mode Dagrams below are aquivalent for CCD and CMOS technique.
SVS-VISTEK 5.2.2 System Clock Frequency Default system clock frequency in almost every SVCam is set to 66.6 MHz. To validate your system frequency refer to: specifications. Using the system clock as reference of time, time settings can only be made in steps. In this example, the transfer rate is 66.7 MHz, thus resulting in steps of 15 ns.
SVS-VISTEK 5.2.4 LookUp Table The LookUp Table Feature (LUT) lets the user define certain values to every bit value that comes from the ADC. To visualize a LUT a curve diagram can be used, similar to the diagrams used in photo editing software.
Page 33
SVS-VISTEK Gamma Correction Using the LookUp Table makes is also possible to implement a logarithmic correction. Commonly called Gamma Correction. Historically Gamma Correction was used to correct the illumination behavior of CRT displays, by compensating brightness-to-voltage with a Gamma value between 1,8 up to 2,55.
SVS-VISTEK 5.2.5 ROI In Partial Scan or Area-Of-Interest or Region-Of-Interest (ROI) -mode only a certain region of the sensor will be read. AOI on a CCD sensor Selecting an AOI will reduce the number of horizontal lines being read. This will reduce the amount of data to be transferred, thus increasing the maximum speed in term of frames per second.
(hot pixel) that always are outputting a bright signal. The amount of hot pixels is proportional to exposure time and temperature of the sensor. By default, all known defect pixels or clusters are corrected by SVS-VISTEK as a factory default. Under challenging conditions or high temperature environments defect pixel behaviour might change.
SVS-VISTEK 5.2.7 Shading Correction The interactions between objects, illumination, and the camera lens might lead to a non-uniform flatfield in brightness. Shading describes the non- uniformity of brightness from one edge to the other or center towards edge(s). Figure 4: Original and shading corrected image...
The GenICam properties are organized as a tree. Manufacturers can add more features. With your SVCam, the GenICam tree does have some hardware related extensions, especially in the I/O sector. See the Quick guide install for a short introduction into SVS-Vistek’s GenICam tree. Feature description...
SVS-VISTEK 5.3.2 PWM Pulse width modulation Description of the function used within the sequencer or implemented by the pulseloop module During Pulse Width Modulation, a duty cycle is modulated by a fixed frequency square wave. This describes the ratio of ON to OFF as duty factor or duty ratio.

SVS-VISTEK 5.3.5 Strobe Control The SVCam 4I/O concept contains an integrated strobe controller. Its controls are integrated into the GenICam tree. With LED lights attached to the outputs, this enables the user to control the light without external devices. Being controlled via GenICam, any GenICam-compliant 3 party software is able to control the light as well.

If your camera trigger is in the ms range or slower, we recommend to use the optical input. An optical input needs some current for operation. The SVS-Vistek optical input is specified to 5-24V, 8mA. The opto coupler galvanically separates electrical circuits by emitting light on one side and interpreting light in the other.
SVS-VISTEK 5.3.8 PLC/Logical Operation on Inputs The logic input combines trigger signals with Boolean algorithms. The camera provides AND, NAND, OR, NOR as below. You might combine combine true/false states of the inputs to determine camera actions. The result can be connected to a camera trigger signal or it may be source for the next logical operation with another input.
SVS-VISTEK 5.3.9 Serial data interfaces (ANSI EIA/) TIA-232-F RS-232 and RS-422 (from EIA, read as Radio Sector or commonly as Recommended Standard) are technical standards to specify electrical characteristics of digital signaling circuits. In the SVCam’s these signals are used to send low-power data signals to control light or lenses (MFT).

SVS-VISTEK 5.3.10 Trigger-Edge Sensitivity Trigger-Edge Sensitivity is implemented by a “schmitt trigger”. Instead of triggering to a certain value Schmitt trigger provides a threshold. Schmitt trigger noise suppression 5.3.11 Debouncing Trigger Signals Bounces or glitches caused by a switch can be avoided by software within the SVCam.

SVS-VISTEK Therefor the signal will not be accepted till it lasts at least a certain time. Use the IO Assignment tool to place and enable the debouncer module in between the “trigger” (schmitt trigger) and the input source (e.g.: line DebouncDuration register can be set in multiples of 15ns (implement of system clock).
SVS-VISTEK 5.3.12 Prescale The Prescaler function can be used for masking off input pulses by applying a divisor with a 4-bit word, resulting in 16 unique settings. > Reducing count of interpreted trigger signal > Use the prescaler to ignore a certain count of trigger signals.
