Interface cables, power cables, and I/O cables are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. • Use shielded cables only. • We recommend using cables offered by Allied Vision. • Avoid coiling. • We recommend using GPIOs only in environments with low electromagnetic interference.
We are offering standard products as well as customized solutions. Intended use of Allied Vision product is the integration into Vision systems by professionals. All Allied Vision product is sold in a B2B setting.
Compliance, safety, and intended use Your safety This section informs about issues related to your personal safety. Descriptions explain how to avoid hazards and operate Alvium CSI-2 cameras safely. Handling lens mounts The lens mount thread has sharp edges. Be careful these edges do not cut your skin when mounting or unmounting lenses.
Compliance, safety, and intended use For your safety and to improve camera performance, operate the camera: • Mounted to a base with a high thermal conductivity • With lens or other optical components mounted • With a heat sink mounted that has large surface areas (closed housing cameras include a heat sink) •...
The MIPI CSI-2 standard does not specify electrical connections as extensively as the USB or GigE standard. Read specifications carefully. Allied Vision accessories help to avoid damage to the camera and connected components. See the Alvium Cameras Accessory Guide for suitable accessories.
Compliance, safety, and intended use • Housing: use an ESD housing, including the camera, embedded board, adapter board, and MIPI CSI-2 FPC cable. Cable connections Provide sufficient strain relief for all cable connections to avoid short circuits and malfunctions. PCBAs Alvium CSI-2 cameras enable access to PCBAs.
MIPI CSI-2 FPC cables Manufacturing FPC cables or embedded boards If you want to design your own components to connect Alvium CSI-2 cameras to embedded boards, contact your Allied Vision Sales representative or visit www.alliedvision.com/en/about-us/contact-us/technical-support-repair-/-rma. FPC cable position Short circuits of the FPC cable can damage the camera or connected hardware.
Noise and electromagnetic interference can disable camera functions. • Avoid contact to metal surfaces, causing electromagnetic interference. • Please use cables recommended by Allied Vision. Handling bare board cameras Bare board cameras are an electronic assembly without a protective housing.
Compliance, safety, and intended use Optical components Provide the following conditions to keep dirt and droplets out of the optical system of camera and lens: • Dust-free environment • Low relative humidity • No condensation. When camera or lens are stored: •...
Compliance, safety, and intended use Lenses Maximum protrusion The sensor, filter, lens, or camera electronics can be damaged if a lens exceeding maximum protrusion is mounted to the camera. Use lenses with a maximum protrusion within camera specifications. Figure 4 shows maximum protrusion.

Specifications Wavelength The wavelength range in the absolute QE plots reflects the information available in the sensor manufacturer data sheet at the time of publishing. For additional wavelength information, contact the sensor manufacturer. Spectral response plots The curves in the spectral response plots shown in this chapter were calculated from measured quantum efficiencies at 448 nm, 529 nm, and 632 nm.
Specifications Availability of pixel formats The availability of pixel formats depends on camera models and the abilities of the connected system. Exposure time, bandwidth, and frame rates Exposure time values Interdependencies between controls affect each other. See Value changes by control interdependencies on page 194.
Specifications Typical operation • Factory settings (camera after startup) • Minimum exposure time • Full resolution • RAW8 (GREY) pixel format • Camera operation in freerun mode • Sensor readout using ADC bit depth • Without bandwidth limitations. Achieved values for your system may not match specified values Values stated in this chapter show the available frame rates on an ideal system, supporting a bandwidth of 1.051 Gbps per lane.

Performance Image transfer with rolling shutter cameras Affected models: Alvium 1500 C-210m/c, C-500m/c, 1800 C-1240m/c, and 1800 C-2050m/c If acquisition is started and stopped in a short sequence, no image is transferred to the host. The duration cannot be predicted, because it depends on various factors. Frame rate jitter Affected models: Alvium 1500 C-120m/c, C-210m/c, C-500m/c, 1800 C-1240m/c, and 1800 C-2050m/c...
Performance Value changes by control interdependencies The conversion between time and clock cycles affects control values. Controls for pixel format, bandwidth, cropping (ROI), and exposure time are related to each other. Changing values for one control can change values for another control. For example, frame rates can be reduced when is changed MIPI Data Format...

Performance Effective signal versus noise Description Margin Saturation = 255 The pixel has accumulated no dark current, the margin has maximum size. Effective image signal Black level = 0 Margin Saturation = 255 Effective The pixel has accumulated some dark current, reducing the size image signal of the margin.
Performance Measures for type 2 compensation All other Alvium camera models support compensation type 2. You can increase the margin size by using gain, with the following side effects: • To give space to a larger margin, the effective pixel capacity decreases. •...
Performance Shutter types affecting image readout Some Alvium CSI-2 camera models are operated using global shutter (GS), other models use rolling shutter (RS): Property Rolling shutter (RS) Global shutter (GS) Line readout Lines Lines Time Time Line exposure start Deferred from line to line Common for all lines Image acquisition of moving objects...
