SW-4000Q-SFP Main Functions Valid Input / Output Combinations The following signals can be used as sources for each output destination (Trigger Selector, Line Selector, Pulse Generator Selector). You can also connect two different sources to NAND paths in the GPIO and reuse the signal generated there as a source for a different selector.

SW-4000Q-SFP 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 (PixelBlackCorrect) / PRNU (PixelGainCorrect) can be reduced using that correction data. We recommend performing calibration and creating correction data whenever the line rate setting or Analog base gain setting or vertical binning setting are changed significantly.
SW-4000Q-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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.
SW-4000Q-SFP Electronic Shutter When you use this function, you can set the exposure to a preconfigured accumulation time, regardless of the line rate. • Variable range: 3 μs to 15.149 ms • Variable unit: 0.01 μs (1clk) • Supported operation modes: When Trigger Mode ON, Exposure Mode Timed Caution In “Trigger Mode OFF, Exposure Mode Timed”...
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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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-SFP 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.
Select the target to apply the filter from [Median Filter Selector] or [FIR Filter Selector] of [JAI Custom Control Pixel Correction] from Red, Green, Blue, NIR and set the [Median Filter Mode] or [FIR Filter Mode].
