Sync and Data

The individual color data is exactly the same as the pixel data. This means that the timing relationships of the
color cameras are also the same as of the monochrome cameras.
For a detailed timing chart, please refer to each monochrome camera's data sheet and manual.
The following diagram is an example of the TMC-2030GE default mode. FDV and LDV are used internally for the
GigE interface.

Camera Functions

AccuPiXEL color cameras perform all functions the same way as monochrome cameras. However, because of
color characteristics, the LUT (Look-up Table) is different. The LUT is a powerful tool to adjust the dynamic
range, as well as the color dynamic range. Since human color perception is non-linear, LUT selection can help
optimize color contrast by selecting the LUT value. Gamma 0.45 is logarithmic and is close to human
perception.
When LUT is selected, black-level adjustment must be more accurate than for monochrome cameras.
3.2.6

Interpolation Software

The color interpolation can be performed in the frame grabber or by using the host computer's CPU. Most
major frame grabbers with processing capability provide tools for color interpolation. Software vision packages
also provide color interpolation capability, but speed and performance may be determined by the PC's
resources and by the complexity of the interpolation routine.
