Page 4: Introduction
The DVC-16000 cameras are based on the Kodak KAI-16000 interline CCD, which provides 4904x3280 pixel resolution and 7.4 µm square pixels with high quantum efficiency and low noise. The DVC-16000 is offered in both standard and cooled configurations, with a choice of Gigabit Ethernet or Camera Link interface. -

Department in the United States at 512-301-9564 and request a Return Material Authorization (RMA). Returns will not be accepted without an RMA. See Section 8 for details. Equipment Supplied The following is a list of equipment that may be supplied with the DVC-16000 camera, depending on your order configuration: DVC-16000 camera •... -
Page 6: Installing The Gigabit Ethernet Or Camera Link Host Interface Board
This approximately doubles the frame rate of single-channel readout at a given frequency. The DVC-16000 has five basic operating modes described in detail below. Each mode can be operated at either 20 or 40 MHz and can support binning and region of interest. -
Page 7: Operating Speed And Single/Dual Port Option
5.1. Operating speed and single/dual port option The DVC-16000 is capable of operating at pixel rates of 20MHz and 40MHz and with single or dual-port options as described above. All camera functions (e.g. exposure mode, binning, ROI, etc.) are operational at either speed, subject to the limitations below. -
Page 8: Continuous, Overlapped, Extended-Exposure Mode
Alternatively, the exposure can be initiated by the host via the DVC API. The exposure and readout sequence is the same as the non- overlapped, continuous mode and has the same exposure range, except only one frame is generated. -
Page 9: Bulb (Pulse-Width Exposure) Mode
However, because the clocking cannot be accelerated in the horizontal direction, horizontal binning provides no such speed increase. In all modes of operation, the DVC-16000 is capable of arbitrary on-chip binning (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x…21x,…) in the vertical direction, and 2x, 3x, and 4x on-chip binning in the horizontal direction. -
Page 10: Region Of Interest
The Kodak KAI-16000 CCD is a high-performance image sensor with very good characteristics over a wide operating range. To be as versatile as possible, the DVC-16000 camera exploits as much of the CCD capability as possible and provides the user a great degree of control over the CCD functions. As a result, it is possible to observe some interesting, low-level CCD phenomena under certain extreme conditions. -
Page 11: Maintenance
To minimize the need to clean the optical surfaces, do not remove the protective lens mount cap shipped with the DVC-16000 camera until you are ready to mount the camera to the optical system. -
Page 12: Infra-Red Filter Removal And Installation
Re-examine once again and repeat the process once, if necessary. • If contamination continues to be a problem, please call DVC Customer Service for assistance. CAUTION: ethyl and isopropyl alcohols are highly flammable! Do not use near extreme heat, arcing electrical equipment (such as space heaters) or open flame! Use only with proper ventilation. - Page 13 Scratches, chemical contamination, or other damage due to improper cleaning may void the camera warranty.

Page 16: Appendix A: Exposure Timing Diagrams
Appendix A: Exposure Timing Diagrams Continuous, overlapped exposure mode with electronic shutter In the continuous, overlapped exposure mode, the camera remains in an idle state until the falling edge of the trigger. A first exposure is made, followed by the typical, interline CCD overlapped exposure/readout cycle. - Page 17 Continuous, overlapped, extended-exposure mode This mode is similar to the overlapped, electronic-shuttered exposure mode except that the electronic shutter is not enabled and the exposure times are greater than one readout cycle (frame time). As a result, readout frame rate will decrease as exposure time is increased, but the overlapping exposure and readout provide the maximum frame rate for a given exposure time.
- Page 18 Continuous, non-overlapped exposure mode This mode is similar to the overlapped exposure mode except that the exposure and readout periods are separate and do not overlap. As a result, for a given exposure time, readout frame rates will be lower than that of overlapped exposure and will also decrease as exposure time is increased.
- Page 19 Edge-triggered exposure (single frame capture) mode Edge-triggered exposure mode operates almost identically to the first frame of the non-overlapped continuous mode except that instead of continuing to run, the camera returns to the armed state, waiting for another trigger. Exposure is controlled by software. trigger ignored during exposure and readout trigger ignored during exposure and readout software...
- Page 20 Bulb (pulse-width exposure) mode Bulb mode allows the camera exposure to be controlled by the external trigger signal. The leading edge of the trigger signal initiates the exposure, and the camera will continue to expose until the trailing edge of the trigger, as shown. The readout sequence begins immediately after the trigger signal trailing edge, and at the end of readout, the camera returns to the armed state, awaiting the next trigger.

Page 21: Appendix B: Description Of Dvc-16000 Auxiliary And Power Supply Connectors
Appendix B: description of DVC-16000 auxiliary and power supply connectors Auxiliary connector The auxiliary connector on the DVC-16000 camera allows the user access certain camera control and internal status signals. The following section describes each signal. Illustration of the auxiliary connector on the rear of the DVC-16000 camera... - Page 22 Appendix A. The CC1 signal is brought out of the camera as DIFF_RESET_OUT to allow users to trigger other devices. DIFF_RESET_OUT is labeled INPUT_1 on older DVC cameras and on the Mini-DIN- to-BNC cable accessory sold by DVC.
