SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A Calculate the maximum frame rate (approximate) Maximum frame rate This section describes how to calculate the maximum frame rate. ■ LinePeriod[μs] The Value (A) is a fixed value for each LinkConfig(CoaXPress) and PixelFormat. Please refer to the table below.
-7dB -7dB 15dB 15dB x 1.0 -7dB -7dB In SP-25000M-CXP4A, adjust the [DigitalAll] (master gain) setting. Digital All x 16 24dB x 1.0 ■ Automatic Gain Level Control Set [GainAuto] to [Continuous] to control the gain level automatically. When [GainAuto] is set to [Continuous], you can configure the conditions for automatic adjustment in detail.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A White Balance To adjust the white balance automatically, set [BalanceWhiteAuto] to Once (automatic adjustment only once) or Continuous (automatic adjustment always). The metering area can be limited for automatic adjustment. To limit the metering area, specify each of the 16 areas with [AWBAreaSelector] and set [AWBAreaEnable] to True or False.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A ALC (Automatic Level Control) Function The ALC (automatic level control) function combines the automatic gain control (AGC/Auto Gain Control) and automatic exposure control (ASC/Auto Shutter Control) functions, and is capable of handling various changes in brightness.The function operates as follows in response to changes in brightness.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A 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.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A LUT (Lookup Table) 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).
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A BlemishCompensation Multiple defective pixels that are not adjacent to each other can occur on conventional CMOS sensor cameras. This camera features a function that interpolates defective pixels using the surrounding pixels. Up to 2000 pixels can be corrected. Pixel interpolation can be performed via automatic detection or point-by-point manual settings.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A Shading Correction The ShadingCorrection function corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. Using this function allows correction even if top, bottom, left, and right shading is not symmetrical in relation to the center of the screen (H, V).
[ShadingMode]. Binning Function SP-25000M-CXP4A only 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.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A ROI Function (Single ROI) The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to scan. Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values under [ImageFormatControl]. For details on how to configure the settings, see “Configuring the Output Format”.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A ROI Function (Multi ROI) In the Multi ROI mode, you can specify up to 64 scanning areas for a single-frame image. The areas cannot overlap. The Multi ROI mode can be used only when both the Sequencer mode and the Shading mode are off.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A Overlay mode In this mode, you can check the readout area when using the Multi ROI function. The area that is not read out is displayed with the brightness reduced to half. This makes it possible to set and adjust the readout area while checking the target area on the screen.
BayerRG8 BayerGR8 Edge enhancer SP-25000M-CXP4A is equipped with an edge enhancer function for enhancing the contrast of lines or edges within images. The edge enhancer function is enabled when EnhancerEnable[Edge] is set to True. Four enhancement levels are available: Low, Middle, High, and Strong.
SP-25000M-CXP4A/SP-25000C-CXP4A CXP Link Sharing function This function has two operation modes (Sharing mode and Duplicate mode). ■Sharing mode This camera can be connected to multiple PCs and the captured images can be divided and sent to each PC. ① ②...
