Usage Precautions

With regard to signal-to-noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used

together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.

EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including

random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances

in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured

frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration

for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional

SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid

test parameters, means that all manufacturers' are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288

tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers' products.

This camera complies with "Power over Camera Link" which enables power to be supplied to the

camera through the Camera Link cable(s). Because the power requirements of the camera exceed the

amount of power which can be provided over a single PoCL connection, power must be supplied via

both Camera Link cables in order to utilize the PoCL capabilities. If you plan to use this function,

please be sure that the frame grabber board you are using also complies with this specification.

Alternatively, the camera can be powered via a separate power supply connected to the 12-pin Hirose

connector.

This camera employs output formats which comply with the GenICam® standard. They are 1X8-1Y (8-

Tap output), 1X4–1Y (4-Tap output) and 1X2–1Y (2-Tap output). 1X8–1Y, 1X4-1Y and 1X2–1Y are

available for 8-bit and 10-bit. Please check if the frame grabber used in the system complies with the

mentioned formats.

The presence of lighting equipment and television receivers nearby may result in video noise. In such

cases, change the cable configurations or placement.
