GigE Vision 4.1.1 Network (TCP/IP) Address Assignment By default, the camera does not have a persistent IP address. When forcing an IP address by using the PC internal network dialog, changes are only valid until the next restart of the Camera. -
Page 16: Fig.: 4-3: Connecting Multiple Cameras On Multi Nics
NOTICE Resends result in higher consumption of bandwidths and will lead to drop frames. High quality cables prevent resends. Connecting multiple cameras Multiple GigE cameras can be connected to a PC either via a switch or using dual or quad port network interface connectors (NIC). Fig.: 4-3: Connecting multiple cameras on multi NICs Multiple cameras connected by a switch To connect multiple cameras by a switch, the switch must be managed. -
Page 17: Xml Files
NOTICE Performance might be lost using multiple Cameras on a single port NIC. Multicast When images from a single camera need to be delivered to multiple PCs, mul- ticast (RFC 2236) is used. A switch receives an image data stream from a cam- era and distributes it to multiple destinations in this mode. -

Page 21: Rolling Shutter
6.1.2 Rolling shutter Rolling shutter is a method of reading out a CMOS sensor, where the whole scene is scanned line after line very rapidly. Despite the speed of scanning the lines one line after the other („rolling“) is very high, it is important to note that the instant of imaging a single line will be different to the point of time of the next line imaging. -
Page 22: Fig.: 6-1: Rolling Shutter Lines Light Sensitivity Versus Time
Light control with rolling shutter As being said, not all sensor lines are sensitive to light at the same time. Make sure your light is ON as long any pixel are going to e exposed. An exo183xGE i.e. needs about 62ms of minimal scanning time. An exo183xCL i.e. needs about 120ms of minimal scanning time. -
Page 23: Exposure
As shown here, after triggering only part of the sensor is sensitive to light (scan- ning time). As soon as scanning time has finished, all pixels are sensitive to light, the sensor is fully open. While being fully open this is the time where flash- ing should happen. -
Page 24: Auto Exposure
Fig.: 6-2: Acquisition and processing time On the other hand, while processing and transferring the image the sensor might capture already the next frame. 6.1.6 Auto exposure Auto Luminance or auto exposure automatically calculates and adjusts exposure time and gain, frame-by-frame. The auto exposure or automatic luminance control of the camera signal is a combination of an automatic adjustment of the camera exposure time (electronic shutter) and the gain. -
Page 25: Bit Depth
6.1.7 Bit depth Values of brightness are internally represented by numbers. The number of bits for brightness representation is limiting the number of color values that can be represented. Bit depth defines the max- imum unique colors or gray levels in an image. bit depth No of gray values = 2 All SVCam models support 8-bit format. -
Page 26: Color
6.1.8 Color Color cameras are identical to the monochrome versions. The color pixels are transferred in sequence from the camera, in the same manner as the mono- chrome, but considered as “raw”-format. Fig.: 6-3: Sensor with Bayer pattern The camera sensor has a color mosaic filter called “Bayer” filter pattern named after the person who invented it. -
Page 27: Resolution
6.1.9 Resolution As mentioned in the specifications, there is a difference between the numerical sensor resolution and the camera resolution. Some pixels towards the borders of the sensor will be used only internally to calibrate sensor values (“Dark pixels”). The amount of dark current in these areas is used to adjust the offset (see "Offset"... -

INFO Refer to "ROI / AOI" on page 39for reducing data rate by reducing the region you are interested in. Fig.: 6-9: Horizontal decimation Fig.: 6-10: Vertical decimation Decimation on color sensors The Bayer pattern color information is preserved with 1/3 horizontal and vertical resolution. -
Page 31: Burst Mode
6.1.14 Burst mode The hardware interface (GigE, USB3, etc.) of your camera may often limit the maximum frame rate of the camera to the maximum frame rate of the interface of the camera. Inside the camera, the sensor speed (internal frame rate) might be higher than the external interface speed (e.g. -

Page 33: Basic Capture Modes
6.2.1 Basic capture modes The camera has 2 basic operation modes. Free run (timed) run: The camera will expose and deliver images on a fixed schedule. Triggered: The camera will wait for an external signal and start exposure after receiving the external trigger signal. -
Page 34: Fig.: 6-13: Basic Capture Modes - Triggered Mode (Pulse Width With Overlap)
Fig.: 6-13: Basic capture modes - triggered mode (pulse width with overlap) Exposure time of the next image can overlap with the frame readout of the cur- rent image (rising edge of trigger pulse occurs when FVAL is high). When this happens: the start of exposure time is synchronized to the falling edge of the LVAL signal. -
Page 35: Fig.: 6-15: Mode 1: External Trigger With Pulse Width Exposure Con
When the rising edge of trigger signal occurs after frame readout has ended (FVAL is low), the start of exposure time is not synchronized to LVAL and expos- ure time starts after a short and persistent delay. Exposure time can be changed during operation. No frame is distorted during switching time. -

To validate your system frequency refer to: specifications. -
Page 37: Temperature Sensor
INFO Use multiples of 15 ns to write durations into camera memory. 6.2.3 Temperature sensor A temperature sensor is installed on the main board of the camera. To avoid overheating, the temperature is constantly monitored and read. Besides soft- ware monitoring, the camera indicates high temperature by a red flashing LED (see flashing LED codes). -
Page 38: Look-Up Table
6.2.5 Look-up table The look-up table feature (LUT) lets the user define certain values to every bit value that comes from the ADC. To visualize a LUT a curve diagram can be used, similar to the diagrams used in photo editing software. -
Page 39: Fig.: 6-21: Several Gamma Curves Comparable To A Lut
Historically gamma correction was used to correct the illumination behavior of CRT displays, by compensating brightness-to-voltage with a gamma value between 1,8 up to 2,55. The gamma algorithms for correction can simplify resolution shifting as shown seen below. Input & output signal range from 0 to 1 Gamma Output-signal = Input-signal Fig.: 6-21: Several gamma curves comparable to a LUT... -
Page 40: Roi / Aoi
6.2.6 ROI / AOI In partial scan mode or Area-Of-Interest (AOI) mode (or Region-Of-Interest (ROI) mode) only a certain region of the sensor will be read. Fig.: 6-22: AOI on area sensor Selecting an AOI will reduce the number of horizontal lines being read. This will reduce the amount of data to be transferred, thus increasing the maximum speed in terms of frames per second. -

has finished. After the read out of image 1 is done, image 2 is transferred and read out. The readout time of each camera is sensor dependent. INFO Contact the SVS-Vistek support team for details on sensor readout timing. During the read out of the 2nd image the camera cannot take images until the next Exsync signal (rising edge) arrives and initiates the next exposure cycle. - Page 42 Set a user set as default Use User Set Default to select the user set that is to be loaded when the camera is started.
