EN Camera Series operate properly. ADR operation can be enabled/disabled by the user at any time. Make sure to set up Moxa (RS-485 to Ethernet converter) properly. See (VIS400 manual Appendix A). In the camera’s “Properties” window, set up the light sensor’s IP address and Port number. These numbers must be consistent with Moxa’s setting.
EN Camera Series Also, check the “Error Status” register. If there is a connection error, LS1_ERR or LS2_ERR is set. If a light sensor is not required for your application, set the “Camera ADR Control” register to “Manual.” 3.3.2 Flash Nighttime Light Control The strobe and continuous nighttime light can be manually turned on and off.
3.4 Time Synchronization The EN camera supports NTP (network time protocol) synchronization. If you disable NTP by clearing the “NTP Client Control” register, then the internal clock will drift approximately 1.5 seconds per day. To reset the clock, set the “Real Time Clock” register to your current local time. If you decide to take advantage of the NTP feature, make sure to set up the NTP server, preferably with GPS input.
If you know the current IP address of the camera, you can telnet directly to the EN camera. Login as User name = root, Password = JAI PULNiX. If you want to assign a new IP address temporarily, you can use the “ifconfig” utility. If you want to assign a new IP address permanently, you can use the “test_libcamera”...
3.6 Maintenance 3.6.1 Debug Counters For debugging purposes, some status registers are available as debug counters. Detailed information for each debugging counter is included in the LC-EN Interface document. This tutorial covers the following debug counters. • Trigger Filter Noise count = number of hardware TTL triggers that failed trigger noise filter. •...
EN Camera Series If you set the PRE trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable PRE condition, then only “PRE Filter Noise count” must be incremented. However, all other counters remain the same. If you set the POST trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable POST condition, then the “POST Filter Noise count”...

500 lines. The JAI EN camera uses a state-of-the-art progressive scanning interline transfer CCD which scans all lines sequentially from top to bottom at one frame rate. Like a non-interlace computer screen, it generates a stable, and crisp image without alternating lines.
6.3 ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) Control ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control is a key algorithm of EN cameras. The ADR algorithm controls the EN camera parameters on a continuous basis to maintain the contrast-to-noise of the license plates on passing vehicles to a suitable level required for automatic license plate reading algorithms.
“ADR White to Blue Ratio” is the ratio between a white plate and blue plate, and is used to optimize the camera parameters. This value is optimized by JAI, and should be kept at factory default. Please do not change it.
Table 6 EN Exposure Times TS(C)-2030EN/TS(C)-2076EN (55.0 μ s x H + 28.7 μ s) Exposure Shutter Time Dial When the EN camera is controlled by light sensor, user can monitor the shutter value in EN setup software by accessing "Camera Shutter" status register (Address = 233). Note that this Shutter value is dial number and not actual exposure time, (left side of the table above).
EN Camera Series 6.3.3 Video Amplifier Gain Control Normally, video amplifier gain is controlled automatically by an ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control algorithm inside the EN, based on the output from the light sensor. However, the user can manually change gain value by using the EN setup software (See Section 7.2 on page 47 for more information).
EN Camera Series Note: Gain Value is Gain entry in camera LUT after calibration. When the EN camera is controlled by a light sensor, user can monitor the gain value in the EN setup software by accessing "Camera Gain" status register (Address = 232). This Gain value is the Gain Table Entry in LUT after calibration (left side of the table above).

Figure 18. CFA Pattern Because the color filter array contains only a single R, G or B color in each pixel, the restored image has to fill in colors in the missing pixel locations. The software uses neighboring pixel information to "guess"...
6.7.2 JPEG Format JPEG is the industry-standard format for lossy image compression. Output file size, quality and speed of the encoding depends on the quality setting. The user can set the proper quality setting by accessing the "JPEG Quality Factor" config register (Address = 46). The factory default is 85. Access to “Image Acquisition 1”...
An API (application program interface) for Windows is available. Using an API, the time required to develop software for device discovery, command communication, and image transfer can be shortened. Please contact JAI Inc. for further information. 6.9 Image Buffering Full size TIF images, JPEG images, and ODD/EVEN field images are independently managed in image buffers.
EN Camera Series 6.11 NTP (Network Time Protocol) The EN Camera supports the NTP (Network Time Protocol) client. NTP is the industry-standard time synchronization mechanism over the network. For LAN, the synchronization accuracy within a few milliseconds is achievable. Normally, the EN cameras can maintain the accuracy within 10ms as a worst-case scenario in LAN.
