  • Page 5: Introduction

    PRELIMINARY 1 Introduction The Spyder3 Color camera uses DALSA’s state-of-the-art dual line scan technology in order to deliver high color quality, low-cost and ease of use for color imaging. This camera features 2k and 4k resolutions with a maximum line rate of 18 kHz. The zero gap in between the two sensor lines minimizes image artifact.

    PRNU measured at 50% SAT. 1.3 Image Sensor The Spyder3 Color bilinear camera is based on DALSA’s dual line scan CCD sensor. The bilinear sensor has two lines. The first line has red (R) and blue (B) pixel alternatively, while the second line has all green (G) pixels. There is no gap in between the two lines and this minimizes any artifact due to spatial correction.

    Note: Camera performance specifications are not guaranteed if your power supply does not meet these requirements. DALSA offers a power supply with attached 6’ power cable that meets the Spyder3 Color camera’s requirements, but it should not be considered the only choice. Many high quality supplies are available from other vendors.

    The camera link standard is intended to be extremely flexible in order to meet the needs of different camera and frame grabber manufacturers. The DALSA Camera Link Implementation Road Map (available at from http://mv.dalsa.com) details how DALSA standardizes its use of the Camera Link interface. LVDS Technical Description Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is a high speed, low power, general purpose interface standard.
  • Page 90 The signals are: • Camera Control 1 (CC1) • Camera Control 2 (CC2) • Camera Control 3 (CC3) The camera uses the following control signals: Table 19: DALSA Camera Control Configuration EXSYNC, negative edge active PRIN Direction Communication Two LVDS pairs have been allocated for asynchronous serial communication to and from the camera and frame grabber.

    (SGPDs) may exhibit higher image lag. Some SGPD sensors, such as the IL-P4 and the IT- P4 used in the DALSA’s cameras, may also exhibit a highly non-uniform response when affected by charge buildup, with some pixels displaying a much higher response when the sensor is exposed to uniform illumination.
