AD-131GE
Camera Operation
1. General
This manual covers the digital 2-CCD progressive scan camera AD-131GE.
The AD-131GE is a GigE Vision compliant camera, belonging to the JAI C3 Advanced family. The
AD-131GE employs two 1.3 megapixel Monochrome CCDs utilizing prism optics in order to
achieve advanced functions such as High S/N mode which improves the signal-to-noise ratio by
3dB; High Dynamic Range mode which achieves 120dB; and High Frame Rate mode which
doubles the normal frame rate while maintaining the same clock speed and S/N ratio.
The AD-131GE provides a standard frame rate of 31 frames/second at full resolution. Using
partial scan, the camera can achieve faster frame rates up to 145 fps (8 lines height).
The 1/3" CCDs with square pixels offer a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of
fast moving objects.
The camera features a built-in pre-processing function which includes blemish compensation,
shading compensation, LUT/gamma correction and knee control.
The AD-131GE also complies with the GenICam standard and contains an internal XML file that
is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about the
GigE Vision Standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICam, please
go to www.genicam.org.
As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit). This
SDK includes GigE Vision Filter Driver, JAI Control tool, software documentation and code
examples.
The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com.
