Setting Exposure time Exposure time can be set by width of the external or internal triggers or programmed by a given value.
  • Page 32: Bit-Depth

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.7 Bit-Depth Values of brighness are internally represented by numbers. Numbers are represented by bytes, consisting out of single bits. The number of bits for brightness representation is limiting the number of brightness values or colour values that can be represented. Bit depth defines how many unique colors or grey levels are available in an image after digitization.

  • Page 34: Color

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.8 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 monochrome, but considered as “raw”-format. The camera sensor has a color mosaic filter called “Bayer” filter pattern named after the person who invented it.
  • Page 35: Resolution - Active & Effective

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.9 Resolution – active & effective As mentions in the specifications, there is a difference between the active and the effective resolution of almost every sensor. Some pixels towards the borders of the sensor will be used only to calibrate the sensor values.
  • Page 36: Offset

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.10 Offset For physical reasons the output of a sensor will never be zero, even the camera is placed in total darkness or simply closed. Always there will be noise or randomly appearing electrons that will be detected as a signal.
  • Page 37: Gain

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.11 Gain Setting gain above 0 dB (default) is another way to boost the signal coming from the sensor. Especially useful for low light conditions. Setting Gain amplifies the signal of individual or binned pixels before the ADC. Referring to Photography adding gain corresponds to increasing ISO.
  • Page 38: Image Flip

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.12 Image Flip Images can be mirrored horizontally or vertically. Image flip is done inside the memory of the camera, therefore not increasing the CPU load of the Figure 30: Figure of original image Figure 31: Figure of image horizontally flipped...
  • Page 39: Binning

    SVS-VISTEK 7.1.13 Binning Binning provides a way to enhance dynamic range, but at the cost of lower resolution. Instead of reading out each individual pixel, binning combines charge from neighboring pixels directly on the chip, before readout. Binning is only used with monochrome CCD Sensors. For reducing resolution on color sensors refer to decimation.
  • Page 40: Burst Mode

    (as soon as there is enough time later on to deliver the images) (not applicable to USB cameras) Please note, as soon as the internal memory buffer is filled up, frames will be dropped. Due to this reason, SVS-Vistek camers provide up to 512MB image buffer memory. Feature-Set...

    SVS-VISTEK 7.2 Camera Features 7.2.1 System Clock Frequency Default system clock frequency in almost every SVCam is set to 66.6 MHz. To validate your system frequency: refer to: specifications. Using the system clock as reference of time, time settings can only be made in multiples of 15 ns.
  • Page 42: Basic Capture Modes

    SVS-VISTEK 7.2.3 Basic Capture Modes Free Running Free running (fixed frequency) with programmable exposure time. Frames are readout continously and valid data is indicated by LVAL for each line and FVAL for the entire frame. There is no need to trigger the camera in order to get data. Exposure time is programmable via serial interface and calculated by the internal logic of the camera.
  • Page 43 At the rising edge of the trigger the camera will initiate the exposure. The software provided by SVS-Vistek allows the user to set exposure time e.g. from 60 μs 60 Sec (camera type dependent).

  • Page 46: Defect Pixel Correction

    All image sensor have defect pixels in a lesser or greater extent. The number of defects determines the quality grade and the value of all sensors integrated by SVS-VISTEK. Defect Pixels either be dark pixels, i.e. that don’t collect any light, or bright pixels (hot pixel) that always are outputting a bright signal.
  • Page 47: Shading Correction

    SVS-VISTEK 7.2.6 Shading Correction The interactions between objects, illumination, and the camera lens might lead to a non-uniform flatfield in brightness. Shading describes the non- uniformity of brightness from one edge to the other or center towards edge(s). This shading can be caused by non-...
  • Page 48: I/O Features

    SVS-VISTEK Correct shading with Shading Tool Images taken with shading correction will seem to have a perfectly balanced illumination. The original idea was to correct the shading of sensor and lens, but it can be used to correct shading of illumination (a non-homogenous illumination) as well.

    SVS-VISTEK 7.3.6 PLC/Logical Operation on Inputs The logic input combines trigger signals with Boolean algorithms. The camera provides AND, NAND, OR, NOR as below. You might connect 2 signals on the logic input. The result can be connected to a camera trigger signal or it may be source for the next logical operation with another input.
