SW-4000Q-10GE Pixel Sensitivity Correction Correct variations between the sensor’s pixels. Calibration must be performed within the camera and correction data must be created beforehand. DSNU (Pixel Black Correct) / PRNU (Pixel Gain Correct) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting is changed significantly.
SW-4000Q-10GE Gain Control The following gain functions are available on the camera. • Analog base gain • Digital gain ■ Analog base gain Analog base gain (ABG) is gain that is performed to the analog video signal output from the sensor.
SW-4000Q-10GE Lookup Table(LUT) The LUT function is used to generate a non-linear mapping between signal values captured on the sensor and those that are output from the camera. You can specify the output curve using 257 setting points (indexes). ■ To use the LUT function Configure the settings as follows.
SW-4000Q-10GE Gamma Function The gamma function corrects the output signals from the camera beforehand (reverse correction), taking into consideration the light-emitting properties of the monitor display. As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing.
SW-4000Q-10GE Shading Correction The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. The following shading correction modes are available on the camera。 ■ Flat shading correction Correct so that the part with the highest luminance level in the screen is taken as the reference and the other part is adjusted to this luminance level.
SW-4000Q-10GE Variable Line Rate You can set the line rate to 1L or more. This function can be used to match the scanning speed of the camera to the feeding speed of the object or to lengthen the accumulation time to increase sensitivity.
Default Caution If you set the color space to XYZ or HSI, eBUS Player for JAI will not display the images captured by the camera properly. To display them properly, XYZ- or HSI-compatible image processing must be performed on the computer side.
SW-4000Q-10GE Counter And Timer Control Function This camera supports only the counter function. The counter function counts up change points in the camera’s internal signals using the camera’s internal counter, and reads that information from the host side. This function is useful for verifying error conditions via the count value using internal camera operations.

SW-4000Q-10GE Chromatic Aberration Correction This Function corrects for the chromatic aberration of magnification caused by the lens (i.e., when the size of the image differs at the focal point for each color (RGB)). You can save correction data for three types of lenses. This function assumes that the amount of deviation between the left and right is identical.
SW-4000Q-10GE If necessary, enable the low-pass filter for the signal to prevent unintended operations due to signal noise from the rotary encoder. Specify the number of cycles from a range of 0 to 15 (0 to 150 ns). If necessary, specify the strobe length of the generated signal.
SW-4000Q-10GE Binning Function The binning function allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity. This camera performs vertical binning via digital addition in the sensor.
SW-4000Q-10GE Chunk Data Function The Chunk Data function adds camera configuration information to the image data that is output from the camera. Embedding camera configuration information in the image data allows you to use the serial number of the camera as a search key and find specific image data from among large volumes of image data.
SW-4000Q-10GE Event Control Function The Event Control Function is a function that outputs a signal change point inside the camera as information indicative of an event occurrence (event message) by using GVCP (GigE Vision Control Protocol). ■ Flow from detecting an event to sending an event message...
SW-4000Q-10GE Action Control Function The Action Control Function is a function that executes the pre-configured action when the camera receives action commands. Action commands can send both unicast and broadcast messages and give instructions for actions to multiple cameras simultaneously by broadcasting them.
