Page 15 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 3.2 Image Transfer 3.2.1 FTP Image Transfer To transfer images via FTP, first make sure to set up the FTP server properly. Please check the following items: The username/password or anonymous login must be set for FTP server. Set the permission of the read/write/create directory.
Page 16 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 3.3 ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) Control 3.3.1 Light Sensor Connection ADR control is a process that runs inside the EN camera. It controls the camera every 1/10 second to ensure that when the camera is triggered, it produces a high quality image of the license plate and the vehicle it is mounted on, in all ambient lighting conditions.
Page 29
Page 17 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras You can connect up to two light sensors. If two IP addresses and port numbers are identical, then the EN camera tries to connect only a single light sensor. Set the ADR Control register from “Manual” to “ADR Control (Using the Light Sensor).” This will activate the connection to the light sensor.
Page 18 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 3.3.2 Flash Nighttime Light Control The strobe and continuous nighttime light can be manually turned on and off. Set “Flash Auto/Manual” and “Night light Control” registers to Manual OFF or ON. Generate an Ethernet trigger or input TTL trigger to see Flash. The “Live” or “Snap” button does not generate Flash, because they are independent from normal trigger operation.
Page 19 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 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”...
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”...
Page 21 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 3.5.1 DHCP Client Make sure that you have a DHCP server in your network. Change the “Static/Dynamic IP Address Allocation” register from “Static” to “Dynamic.” Reboot the camera. In the next power-up, the camera will get the IP address dynamically from the DHCP server.

Page 23 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras By generating an Ethernet trigger (“All” and “HW Trigger” button on the EN setup video window), you can see only VINIT and IRQ counters are incrementing. This is because the first four counters are only for the hardware TTL trigger.

Page 36 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras Camera Features 6.1 Progressive Scanning Standard TV-system scanning is 525 lines interlace scanning as specified in the RS-170 protocol. Every other horizontal line (odd lines and even lines) is scanned at a 60Hz rate per field, and the scanning is completed with two fields (one frame) at 30Hz rate.
Page 38 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 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.
Page 39 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras 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).

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"...
The color filter array requires software to interpolate color. If the proper interpolation software is not present the camera provides an 8-bit monochrome image. The necessary DLL is available from JAI Inc.. The JAI Inc. TSC-2030EN/TSC-2076EN cameras use the Bayer color mosaic filter pattern (see Figure 16 below). The CFA contains 50% green photo sites and 25% red and 25% blue photo sites.
Page 42 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras Because the TSC-2030EN/TSC-2076EN does not contain internal color-processing circuitry, viewer software must perform color interpolation on host PC side. The EN setup software supports color interpolation. After color interpolation, white balance must be properly done. Otherwise, gray or white objects cannot be seen as gray or white.
Page 43 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras If JPEG quality factor is high (above 85) and image contains complex detail information, the output file size of JPEG encoding becomes larger. JPEG image size must be properly defined in “Storage Setup” of JPEG.
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.
Page 45 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras FTP server's IP address, username, password, and subdirectory name must be properly set by FTP command. Additionally, a 2nd FTP server is supported in case the 1st FTP server is accidentally down. Please refer to the “EN-to-LC Interface” document for the FTP command. Additionally, the FTP server must be properly set up.

7.9 Problem 9: FTP servers switch between primary server and second server, even if the hard disk is not full. 1. JAI has tested various FTP servers to compare performance differences. For Linux, we recommend PureFTP server. We do not recommend vsFTP server. For Windows, we recommend Cerberus FTP server.
Page 49 TS-2030EN/TS-2076EN Series Progressive Scan Cameras Make sure to set UDP mode in EN LightSensor register. If you want the EN camera to connect multiple MOXA devices (up to 2 MOXAs), do not assign the same port number for performance reasons. Assign different port numbers. For TCP connections (not recommended, but for customers who require TCP connections).
