4.5 Firmware
Some features may not have been implemented in older
versions. For updating your camera firmware to the mostrecent version, you need the firmware tool and a firmware file(download it from website, login area) matching your camera
model.
4.5.1 Firmware Update GigE
A separate tool called “Firmware Update Tool.exe” isprovided in the login area of the SVS-Vistek website.
Execute firmware update> Download the firmware tool and the firmware file fromthe SVS-Vistek website.
> Unpack everything into any folder, e.g. “C:\temp”> Ensure proper network configuration> Run the GigE update toolYour camera should appear, choose camera by entering

4.6 GigE IP
SetupYour GigEVision
camera needs aworking network connection. Make sure the camera is attached to the
network and is powered on. Make sure everything is plugged in properly
and that the firewall settings are not blocking the connection to thecamera or SVCapture.
Getting Started

20

SVS-VISTEKStart SVCapture on your computer. As soon as the camera has booted,
all SVS-Vistek GigE cameras are showing up in the main window.
The cameras will show their IP addresses. In any
case, the last number (1-254) has to be unique inyour subnet. For better understanding of TCP/IP
protocol, refer to applicable documents on the web.
The camera’s behavior is like a standard network
device. If you’re not sure about TCP/IP configurationor your network, try automatic network configuration
as below.
With right-Click on the selected camera, a menu will show up with 3
options. Depending on whether you want the network changes to bepermanent or not choose one of these options:
1. Force IP address(Setup of a network address)
This dialog will put a new IP address (with subnet) to thecamera. This address is volatile, it will be lost as soon thecamera is powered off.
Automatic mode will try to setup a valid network address via
DHCP/LLA
2. Network settings(Setup of a network address and save it permanently in thecamera’s memory)
The procedure is the same as above, but the data will be saved
permanently in the camera even when powered off. You might
as well give a clear name inside the network (for the DHCP
server)
3. Restart automatic network configuration(do configuration of network IP automatically)

5.1.1 Network (TCP/IP)
Address Assignment
By default, the camera does not have a persistent IP address.
When forcing an IP address by using the PC internal network
dialog, changes are only valid until the next restart of the
Camera.
For a peer-to-peer connection of a GigE camera to a PC a
network address assignment based on LLA (Local Link
Address) is recommended. This involves a network mask
“255.255.0.0” as well as a fixed preamble“169.254.xxx.xxx” of the network address range. A GigE
camera will fall back to LLA when no DHCP server isavailable and no fixed network address was assigned to thecamera.

Jumbo Frames
The transport efficiency in the streaming channel can be
improved by using “jumbo frames”. This will reduce overheadcaused by maintaining header data upon each data packet
sent.

F IGURE 9: I LLUSTRATION OF DATA REDUCTION WITH JUMBO FRAMESNOTICE
Higher packet sizes require network cards that support jumbopackets.

Packet lostIn accordance with the TCP protocol, lost or corrupted
packages will be resent.

NOTICE
Resends result in higher consumption of bandwidths and will leadto drop frames.
High quality cables prevent resends.

Connectors

24

SVS-VISTEKConnecting multiple Cameras
Multiple GigE cameras can be connected to a PC either via aswitch or using dual or quad port network interface
connectors (NIC).

F IGURE 10: I LLUSTRATION OF CONNECTING MULTIPLE CAMERAS ON MULTI NIP S

Multiple Cameras connected by a Switch
To connect multiple cameras by a switch, the switch must be
managed. It might also be necessary to operate the cameras
in an “inter packet delay” applying a smother image data
stream.

F IGURE 11: I LLUSTRATION OF CONNECTING MULTIPLE CAMERAS WITH A SWITCH

Dual GigE Connection is not supported when using a switch.
NOTICE
Performance might be lost using multiple Cameras on a single
port NIC.

Connectors

25

SVS-VISTEKMulticastWhen images from a single camera need to be delivered to multiple PCs,
multicast (RFC 2236) is used. A switch receives an image data stream
from a camera and distributes it to multiple destinations in this mode.
Since a GigE camera always needs a single controlling application, there
will be only one master application. The controlling master application
has to open a camera in multicast mode (IP 232.x.x.x for local multicast
groups) in order to allow other applications to connect to the same image
data stream. Other applications will become listeners to an existing image
data stream. They do not have control access to the camera; however,potential packet resend requests will be served in the same manner as forthe controlling application.

Figure 12: Illustration of a camera casting to multiple receivers(multicast)

5.1.2 XML Files
According to the GigE Vision standard a GigE camera provides an XML
file that defines the camera’s capabilities and current settings.
The XML file can be processed by software like SVCapture allowing
displaying and saving it to disk. Settings can also be saved and restored
on the Camera internal EEPROM.

7.1 Basic Understanding
7.1.1 Basic Understanding of CCD Technology
CCD is the abbreviation for Charge Coupled Device.

In an area device light sensitive semiconductor elements are arranged inrows and columns. Each row in the array represents a single line in the
resulting image. When light falls onto the sensor elements, photons areconverted into electrons, creating a proportional light input signal.

Figure 15: Illustration Cross-section of a CCD sensor from Sony
Charge is an integration of time and light intensity on the element. Like
this the image gets brighter the longer the CCD cell is exposed to light.
The sensor converts light into charge and transports it to an amplifier andsubsequently to the analog to digital converter (ADC).

7.1.2 Interline Transfer
Interline Transfer is only used in CCD sensors.
With a single pixel clock the charge from each pixel is transferred to thevertical shift register. At this time, the light sensitive elements are again
collecting light. The charge in the vertical registers is transferred line byline into the horizontal shift register. Between each (downward) transfer ofthe vertical register, the horizontal register transfers each line the output
stage, where charge is converted to a voltage, amplified and sent on to
the ADC. When all lines in the image have been transferred to thehorizontal register and read out, the vertical registers can accept the next
image...

7.1.3 Global shutter
The shutter is describing the functionality of exposing the light sensitive
pixels of the sensor to light for a limited time. With Global shutterall pixels
are exposed to light at the same time. All pixel will be exposed to light at
the same starting point, and all pixel light exposure will stop at the sametime. Fast moving objects will be captured without showing movement
distortion, except motion blur if the moving object is so fast that the same
point of the object covers different pixels at start and end of the exposure
time in the image.
A global shutter image is a snapshot of the whole scene. Below areillustrations of some images taken with different shutter types. The camera
does not move, the bottles are sitting on an assemly line driving by.

shutter and moving objects

7.1.6 Exposure
See various exposure and timing modes in chapter: Basic capture modes.
Combine various exposure timings with PWM LED illumination, refer tosequencer.

Setting Exposure time
Exposure time can be set by width of the external or internal triggers or
programmed by a given value.

7.1.7 Auto Luminance
Auto Luminance automatically calculates and adjusts exposure time andgain, frame-by-frame.
The auto exposure or automatic luminance control of the camera signal is
a combination of an automatic adjustment of the camera exposure time(electronic shutter) and the gain.
The first priority is to adjust the exposure time and if the exposure time
range is not sufficient, gain adjustment is applied. It is possibility to predefine the range (min. / max. -values) of exposure time and of gain.
The condition to use this function is to set a targeted averaged brightnessof the camera image. The algorithm computes a gain and exposure foreach image to reach this target brightness in the next image (controlloop). Enabling this functionality uses always both – gain and exposure
time.

Limitation
As this feature is based on a control loop, the result is only useful in an
averaged, continuous stream of images. Strong variations in brightness
from one image to next image will result in a swing of the control loop.
Therefore it is not recommended to use the auto-luminance function insuch cases.

7.1.8 Bit-Depth
Values of brighness are internally represented by numbers. Numbers are
represented by bytes, consisting out of single bits. The number of bits forbrightness representation is limiting the number of brightness values orcolour values that can be represented. Bit depth defines how many
unique colors or grey levels are available in an image after digitization.
The number of bits used to quantify limits the number of levels to be used.
e.g.:
4 bits limits the quantification levels to 24 = 16.
Each pixel can represent 16 grey levels=
256 values per pixel
8 bits to28=4096 values per pixel
12 bits to212=65536 values per pixel
16 bit to216

Every additional bit doubles
the number for quantification.
SVCam output is 8, 12 or 16
bit, depending on yourcamera model and the way
you read the values from thecamera.

Figure 20: illustration of rising amount of values/gray scales by
increasing the bit format

Be aware that increasing the
bit format from 8 to 12 bit
also increases the total
amount of data. According to
the interface framerates canbe limited with higher bit

depth values.

As SVCam’s export pure RAWformat only, color will be created on
the host computer in accordancewith the known Bayer-pattern bycomputing the brightness values intocolour values..

7.1.9 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. The pattern alternates as follows:
E.g.: First line: GRGRGR... and so on. (R=red, B=blue, G=green)
Second line: BGBGBG... and so on. Please note that about half of the
pixels are green, a quarter red and a quarter blue. This is due to the
maximum sensitivity of the human eye at about 550 nm (green).
Figure 26: CCD with Bayer Pattern

Using color information from the neighboring pixels the RG and B valuesof each pixel is interpolated by software. E.g. the red pixel does not haveinformation of green and blue components. The performance of theimage depends on the software used.

NOTICE
It is recommended to use a IR cut filter for color
applications!

White Balance
The human eye adapts to the definition of white depending on the lighting
conditions. The human brain will define a surface as white, e.g. a sheet ofpaper, even when it is illuminated with a bluish light.
White balance of a camera does the same. It defines white or removes
influences of a color tint in the image.
Influences normally depend on the light source used. These tints aremeasured in Kelvin (K) to indicate the color temperature of theillumination.

7.1.10 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.
These pixels are totally darkened. The amount of dark current in theseareas is used to adjust the offset.

Feature-Set

41

SVS-VISTEK

7.1.11 Offset
For physical reasons the output of a sensor will never be zero, even thecamera is placed in total darkness or simply closed. Always there will benoise or randomly appearing electrons that will be detected as a signal(dark noise: noise generated without light exposure).
To avoid this dark noise to be interpreted as a valuable signal, an offset
will be set.

Figure 29: Illustration of dark noise cut off by the offset

Most noise is proportional to temperature. To spare you regulating theoffset every time the temperature changes. A precedent offset is set by thecamera itself. It references certain pixels that never were exposed to lightas black (refer to “resolution – active and effective”). So the offset will be
set dynamically and conditioned to external influences.
The offset can be limited by a maximum bit value. If higher values areneeded, try to set a look up table.
In case of multi-tap CCD sensors, offset can be altered for each tap
separately (see tap balancing).

7.1.12 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.

7.1.14 Binning
Binning provides a way to enhance dynamic range, but at the cost oflower resolution. Instead of reading out each individual pixel, binningcombines 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.

The hardware interface (GigE, USB3 etc) of your camera very often will

the interface of the camera. Inside the camera, the sensor speed (internalframerate) might be higher than the external interface’s speed (e.g. GigE).
In triggered mode though, trigger frequency might be higher than theexternal interface’s speed. The triggered images will stay in the internal
memory buffer and will be delivered one after the other with interface
speed. If trigger frequency is higher than interface max fps frequency,
more and more images will stick in the internal image buffer. As soon as
the buffer is filled up, frames will be dropped.
This internal-save-images and deliver-later thing is called Burst Mode.
Due to internal restriction in the image request process of the camera, on
USB cameras the maximum sensor speed is limited to the maximum
interface speed. This means the maximum trigger frequency cannot behigher than camera freerun frequency. The image buffer will protect
against breaking datarates of the USB line, though.

Usage of Burst Mode
Burst Mode has 2 main purposes:>>

If transfer speed breaks down (e.g. Ethernet transfer rate due tohigh network load), tolerate low speed transfer for a short timeand deliver frames later on (buffering low speed interface
performance for a short time)
For several frames (up to full internal memory) images can betaken with higher frame rate than camera specs are suggesting(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.

Dual-Tap
In a dual-tap CCDs, (CCD with two outputs) the readout of pixel charge
takes place in a serial/parallel sequence. Each line is divided in half and the
pixels of both halves are read out simultaneously, line by line. For a given
pixel clock frequency, only half the time is required to read out the entire
array, resulting in twice the framerate.

7.2.4 Tap Reconstruction
The data coming from the camera have to be reconstructed to theoriginal image data structure. This task is done either by the frame
grabber hardware (Camera Link, CXP) or the driver software (GigE, USB).
The process is transparent, so it doesn’t matter whether the physicalinterface is serial or parallel.

7.2.5 Tap Balancing
In sensors with multiple the tap structure, parts of the picture may appear
differently. Taps may display difference in dynamics and brightness.
To eliminate these differences,tap balancing offers gain
adjustments separately for eachtap.

Figure 48: Figure of an unbalanced 2 tap image

This is due to the requirement
for a dual or quad -ADC circuit
to handle the simultaneous
digitization of the two or morechannels of analog signal
coming from the CCD. The
fact that the separate analog
output channels not being
perfectly linear and theseparate output amplifiers
having physically different
slopes leads to the necessity tosometimes manually or
automatically adjust the gain
levels of each channel
independently to obtain ahomogenous image.

7.2.9 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 timeis programmable via serial interface and calculated by the internal logicof the camera.
NOTICEThe fundamental signals are:Line Valid: LVAL, Frame Valid: FVAL,
And in case of triggered modes: trigger input.

Triggered Mode (pulse width)
External trigger and pulse-width controlled exposure time. In this modethe camera is waiting for an external trigger, which starts integration andreadout. Exposure time can be varied using the length of the trigger pulse(rising edge starts integration time, falling edge terminates the integration
time and starts frame read out). This mode is useful in applications where
the light level of the scene changes during operation. Change of
exposure time is possible from one frame to the next.

Exposure time of the next image can overlap with the frame readout of
the current image (rising edge of trigger pulse occurs when FVAL is high).
When this happens: the start of exposure time is synchronized to thefalling edge of the LVAL signal.

Feature-Set

52

SVS-VISTEKWhen the rising edge of trigger signal occurs after frame readout has
ended (FVAL is low) the start of exposure time is not synchronized to LVAL
and exposure time starts after a short and persistant delay.
The falling edge of the trigger signal must always occur after readout ofthe previous frame has ended (FVAL is low).

Software Trigger
Trigger can also be initiated by software (serial interface).
NOTICE
Software trigger can be influenced by jitter. Avoid Software
trigger at time sensitive applications

External Trigger (Exposure Time)
External trigger with programmable exposure time. In this mode thecamera is waiting for an external trigger pulse that starts integration,
whereas exposure time is programmable via the serial interface andcalculated by the internal microcontroller of the camera.
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 timee.g. from 60 μs 60 Sec (camera type dependent).
Exposure time of the next image can overlap with the frame readout of
the current image (trigger pulse occurs when FVAL is high). When thishappens, the start of exposure time is synchronized to the negative edgeof the LVAL signal (see figure)

When the rising edge of trigger signal occurs after frame readout has
ended (FVAL is low), the start of exposure time is not synchronized to LVAL
and exposure time starts after a short and persistant delay.

Exposure time can be changed during operation. No frame is distorted
during switching time. If the configuration is saved to the EEPROM, the set
exposure time will remain also when power is removed.

7.2.12 Defect Pixel Correction
Defect Pixel Correction interpolates information from neighboring pixels
to compensate for defect pixels or clusters (cluster may have up to five
defect pixels).
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.
The amount of hot pixels is proportional to exposure time andtemperature of the sensor.
By default, all known defect pixels or clusters are corrected by SVSVISTEK.
Under challenging conditions or high temperature environments
additional defect pixels can may appear. These can be corrected.
> A factory created defect map (SVS map), defying known defects, isstored in the camera...
> A custom defect map can be created by the user. A simple txt file withcoordinates has to be created. The user must locate the pixel defects
manually.
> The txt file can be uploaded into the camera. Beware of possible
Offset!
> Defect maps can be switched off to show all default defects, andswitched back on to improve image quality.
Unlike Shading Correction, Defect Pixel Correction suppresses pixels orclusters and reconstructs the expected value by interpolating neighboring
pixels that. The standard interpolation algorithm uses the pixel to the leftor to the right of the defect. This simple algorithm prevents high runtime
losses.
More sophisticated algorithms can be used by software.

7.3.4 PWM
Pulse width modulation
Description of the function used within the sequencer or implemented by
the pulseloop module
During Pulse Width Modulation, a duty cycle is modulated by a fixed
frequency square wave. This describes the ratio of ON to OFF as duty
factor or duty ratio.

Why PWM?
Many electrical components must be provided with a defined voltage.
Whether it’s because they do not work otherwise or because they have thebest performance at a certain voltage range (such as diodes or LEDs).

Diode characteristic
Since LEDs have a bounded workspace, the PWM ensures a variable
intensity of illumination at a constant voltage on the diodes.
In addition, the lifetime of a diode increases. The internal resistance isideal in this area. The diode gets time to cool down when operated with a
PWM in its workspace.

Implementation of PWM
Modulation frequency:
The basic frequency of the modulation isdefined by the cycle duration "T".
𝑇𝑃𝑃𝑃 =

𝑓𝑃𝑃𝑃

Cycle duration "T" is written into the registry bymultiple of the inverse of camera frequency.
(15 ns steps) Refer to: Time unit of thecamera.

7.4 IR Cut Filter
To avoid influences of infrared light to your image, cameras are equippedwith an IR cut filter or an anti-refection coated glass (AR filter).
In addition filters raise the protection classof the camera by protecting the sensor
and camera internals from environmental
influences. IP67 models do have an IR cut
filter by default.
Please refer to your camera order to see if
a filter is built in. Alternatively take a close
look on the sensor. Build-in IR-filters arescrewed within the lens mount. (See figure
below)
Figure 76: ECO with IR cut filter

All kinds of filter can be ordered andplaced in front of the sensors. Please refer
to your local distributer.

NOTICEAs the sensor is very sensitive to smallest particles, avoid dust
when removing the lens or the protection cap

Feature-Set

83

SVS-VISTEKImage Impact of IR Cut Filter
As a reason of chromatic aberration limiting the spectral bandwidth of thelight always results in sharper images.
Without an IR cut filter:> Monochrome sensor images get muddy.
> Chroma sensor images get influenced by a greater amount of red
than you would see with your eyes. White balance gets much moredifficult. Contrasts get lost because of IR light influencing also blueand green pixels.
SVS-VISTEK recommends IR cut filter for high demands on color or
sharpness whether monochrome or color sensors.

Spectral Impact of IR Cut Filters
IR cut filter do influence the spectral sensitivity of the sensor. The spectral
graph below shows the wavelength relative impact of the SVS-VISTEK
standard filter.

Figure 77: IR cut filter light transmission

Focal Impact of Filters
As an IR cut filter mainly consist of a small layer of glass (1 mm thick)there is an impact on the flange focal distance. Refraction within the layer
cause shortening this distance.
When ordering a standard camera with an extra IR cut filter you might
have to compensate the focal length with an extra ring. Please refer toyour local distributor for more detailed information on your camera
behaving on C-Mount integrated filters.
As BlackLine models have an IR cut filter by default, the focal distance iscompensated by default too.

NOTICE
Removing the IR cut filter lengthen the focal distance andwill invalidate the warranty of your camera.

10 Troubleshooting
10.1 FAQ
Problem

Solution

Camera does not respond to light.

Check if camera is set to “Mode 0“. I.e. free running with programmed
exposure ctrl. When done, check with the program “Convenient Cam“ if you
can read back any data from the camera, such as “Mode“, “type“ of CCD,
exposure time settings, etc..
If “Mode 0“ works properly, check the signals of the camera in the desired
operation mode like “Mode 1“ or “Mode 2“. In these modes, check if the
ExSync signal is present. Please note that a TTL signal must be fed to thetrigger connector if it is not provided by the frame grabber (LVDS type). The
typical signal swing must be around 5 V. Lower levels will not be detected by
the camera... If you use a TTL level signal fed to the “TB 5 connector“ checkthe quality and swing. If these signals are not present or don’t have theproper quality, the camera cannot read out any frame (Mode 1 and 2).
Beware of spikes on the signal.

Image is present but distorted.

Check the camera configuration file of your frame grabber. Check numberof “front- and back porch“ pixel. Wrong numbers in configuration file cancause sync problems. Check if your frame grabber can work with the data
rate of the camera.

Image of a color version camera looks
strange or false colors appear.

If the raw image looks OK, check the camera file to see if the pixels need to
be shifted by either one pixel or one line. The image depends on thealgorithm used. If the algorithm is starting with the wrong pixel such effects
appear.

Colors rendition of a color versions not
as expected – especially when using
halogen light.

Halogen light contains strong portions of IR radiation. Use cut-off filters ataround 730 nm like “Schott KG 3“ to prevent IR radiation reaching the
CCD.

No serial communication is possible
between the camera and the PC.

Use “load camera DLL” and try again.

12 Glossary of Terms
Aberration

Spherical aberration occurs when light rays enter near the edge of the lens;
Chromatic aberration is caused by different refractive indexes of different
wavelengths of the light. (Blue is more refractive than red)

ADC
Aperture

Analogue-to-Digital Converter, also known as A/D converter
In optics, Aperture defines a hole or an opening through which light travels.
In optical system the Aperture determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays
that come to a focus in the image plane. The Aperture can be limited by aniris, but it is not solely reliant on the iris. The diameter of the lens has alarger influence on the capability of the optical system.

Bayer Pattern

A Bayer filter mosaic or pattern is a color filter array (CFA) deposited onto
the surface of a CCD or CMOS sensor for capturing RGB color images. The
filter mosaic has a defied sequence of red, green and blue pixels such thatthe captured image can be transported as a monochrome image to the host(using less bandwidth); where after the RGB information is recombined in acomputer algorithm.

Binning

Binning combines the charge from two (or more) pixels to achieve higher
dynamics while sacrifying resolution.

Bit-Depth

Bit-depth is the number of digital bits available at the output of the Analogto-Digital Converter (ADC) indicating the distribution of the darkest to thebrightest value of a single pixel.

Camera Link

Camera Link is a multiple-pair serial communication protocol standard [1]designed for computer vision applications based on the National
Semiconductor interface Channel-link. It was designed for the purpose ofstandardizing scientific and industrial video products including cameras,
cables and frame grabbers.

CCD

Charge Coupled Device. Commonly used technology used for camera
sensors used to detect & quantify light, i.e. for capturing images in anelectronic manner. CCDs were first introduced in the early 70ies.

CMOS

Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor. A more recently adopted
technology used for camera sensors with in-pixel amplifiers used to detect &quantify light, i.e. capturing images in an electronic manner.

CPU

Central Processing Unit of a computer. Also referred to as the processor
chip.

dB

Decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio between twovalues of a physical quantity.

Decimation

For reducing width or height of an image, decimation can be used (CMOS
sensors only). Columns or rows can be ignored. Image readout time isthereby reduced.

Defect map

Identifies the location of defect pixels unique for every sensor. A factory
generated defect map is delivered and implemented with each camera.

EPROM

Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is a type of memory chip thatretains its data when its power supply is switched off.

External Trigger

Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is a type of memory chip thatretains its data when its power supply is switched off.

fixed frequencyGainor programmed exposure time. Frames are read out continuously.
In electronics, gain is a measure of the ability of a two-port circuit (often an
amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal from the input tothe output port by adding energy to the signal.

Gamma

Gamma correction is a nonlinear operation used to code and decodeluminance values in video or still image systems.

GenICam

Provides a generic programming interface for all kinds of cameras anddevices. Regardless what interface technology is used (GigE Vision, USB3
Vision, CoaXPress, Camera Link, etc.) or which features are implemented,
the application programming interface (API) will always be the same.

GigE Vision

GigE Vision is an interface standard introduced in 2006 for highperformance industrial cameras. It provides a framework for transmitting
high-speed video and related control data over Gigabit Ethernet networks.

GPU
HiroseISO
Jumbo Frames

Graphics Processing Unit of a computer.

Mount
MulticastMechanical interface/connection for attaching lenses to the camera.

Cable connectors commonly used for power, triggers, I/Os and strobe lights
see Gain.
In computer networking, jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than
1500 bytes of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9000
bytes of payload. Some Gigabit Ethernet switches and Gigabit Ethernet
network interface cards do not support jumbo frames.

Multicast (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is an ethernet group
communication where information is addressed to a group of destination
computers simultaneously. Multicast should not be confused with physicallayer point-to-multipoint communication.

PWM

Pulse width modulation. Keeping voltage at the same level while limiting
current flow by switching on an off at a very high frequency.

Partial Scan

A method for reading out fewer lines from the sensor, but “skipping” lines
above and below the desired area. Typically applied to CCD sensors.
In most CMOS image sensors an AOI (area of interest) or ROI (region ofinterest) can be defined by selecting the area to be read. This leads toincreased frame rate.

Pixel clock

The base clock (beat) that operates the sensor chip is. It is typically also theclock with which pixels are presented at the output node of the image
sensor.

RAW

A camera RAW image file contains minimally processed data from theimage sensor. It is referred as raw in its meaning. SVS-VISTEK plays out
RAW only.

Read-Out-Control

Read-Out control defines a delay between exposure and image readout. It
allows the user to program a delay value (time) for the readout from thesensor. It is useful for preventing CPU overload when handling very large
images or managing several cameras on a limited Ethernet connection.

Shading

Shading manifests itself a decreasing brightness towards the edges of theimage or a brightness variation from one side of the image to the other.
Shading can be caused by non-uniform illumination, non-uniform camera
sensitivity, vignetting of the lens, or even dirt and dust on glass surfaces(lens).

Shading correction

An in-camera algorithm for real time correction of shading. It typicallypermits user configuration. By pointing at a known uniform evenly
illuminated surface it allows the microprocessor in the camera to create acorrection definition, subsequently applied to the image during readout.

Shutter

Shutter is a device or technique that allows light to pass for a determined
period of time, exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic
sensor to light in order to capture a permanent image of a scene.

Glossary of Terms

123

SVS-VISTEKStrobe light

A bright light source with a very short light pulse. Ideal for use withindustrial cameras, e.g. for “freezing” the image capture of fast moving
objects. Can often be a substitute for the electronic shutter of the image
sensor. Certain industrial cameras have dedicated in-camera output drivers
for precisely controlling one or more strobe lights.

Tap

CCD sensors can occur divided into two, four or more regions todouble/quadruple the read out time.

TCP/IP

TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should bepacketized, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.

USB3 Vision

The USB3 Vision interface is based on the standard USB 3.0 interface anduses USB 3.0 ports. Components from different manufacturers will easily
communicate with each other.

Trigger modes

Cameras for industrial use usually provide a set of different trigger modes
with which they can be operated.
The most common trigger modes are: (1) Programmable shutter trigger
mode. Each image is captured with a pre-defined shutter time; (2) PulseWidth Control trigger. The image capture is initiated by the leading edge ofthe trigger pulse and the shutter time is governed by the width of the pulse;(3) Internal trigger or Free-Running mode. The camera captures images at
the fastest possible frame rate permitted by the readout time.
