Introduction

AVT Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.0.8

Cleaning optics

Identifying debris

Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened area
or smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which
appears as a distinct point.

Locating debris

First determine whether the debris is on the sensor glass, IR filter (if used), or
lens. The farther away the debris is from the sensor, the blurrier the debris
appears on a camera image.

Stream a live image from the camera using a uniform target, such as a piece of
paper. To determine if the debris is on the camera lens, rotate the lens indepen­dent of the camera. If the spot moves, the debris is on the lens. Otherwise, the
debris is on the IR filter (if used) or sensor glass.

Color cameras with IR filter

Prosilica GT color cameras are equipped with an IR filter. With no lens or lens
cap on a camera, the IR filter is exposed and debris can accumulate on it. This is
the most probable location for debris. It should not be necessary to remove the
IR filter for cleaning. Clean the outside of the IR filter glass using the tech­niques explained in the next section. If it is determined that the debris is on the
inside surface of the filter glass, or the sensor glass, IR filter removal is neces­sary.

Caution



Do not exceed environmental specifications.

See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications
section of this document. Special care must be taken to main­tain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera is oper­ated in temperatures higher than the specified range, the
camera should be mounted on a heat sink.

For more information on camera body temperature:

http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/fileadmin/content/PDF/
Support/Application_Notes/AppNote_­_Prosilica_GT_Body_Temperature.pdf

Caution



Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers can
damage fragile optical coatings.

Introduction

AVT Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.0.8

10

Cleaning with air

Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean com­pressed air.

View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present, repeat
the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be dislodged. If
this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.

Contact cleaning

Only use this method if the above air cleaning method does not sufficiently
clean the surface. Use 99% pure isopropyl alcohol and clean cotton swabs. Wet
the swab in the alcohol. Quickly wipe the optics in a single stroke. Prolonged
exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen and transfer
to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this process until the
debris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris, contact AVT.

Note



• A pin spanner wrench (AVT P/N: E9020001) suitable for
IR filter removal is available for purchase from AVT for all
GT cameras except GT4100, GT4905, GT4907, and
GT6600.

• DO NOT attempt to remove the camera IR filter for
GT4100, GT4905, GT4907, and GT6600. Please contact

[e-mail] for assistance.

Caution



Do not exceed 90 psi. If using canned air (typically ~ 70 psi
when full), do not shake or tilt the can, as extreme changes
in temperature due to sudden cold air can crack the optic
glass.

Filters

All Prosilica GT color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR fil­ter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from pass­ing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and
incapable of being properly color balanced. Monochrome cameras do not
employ an IR filter.

The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC30 filter
employed in the Prosilica GT cameras.

Adjustment of C/CS-Mount

The C-Mount or CS-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require
adjusting. If for some reason, the lens mount requires adjustment, use the fol­lowing method.

Loosen locking ring

Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the locking ring. Be careful not to scratch
the camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from
the camera face.

Image to infinity

Use a C-Mount compatible lens (CS-Mount compatible lens, if using CS ring)
that allows an infinity focus. Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object—
10 to 15 m should suffice. Make sure the lens is firmly threaded onto the C­Mount ring. Rotate the lens and C-Mount ring until the image is focused. Care­fully tighten the locking ring and recheck focus.

Prosilica GT cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount. The
camera can also be built with a CS-Mount on request. See AVT

I/O definition

Camera Power

The Prosilica GT camera can be powered through the Hirose I/O port, via Pin 1
Camera GND and Pin 2 Camera Power, or through the Gigabit Ethernet port if
using a power over Ethernet (PoE) supported network card, switch, or injector.

Cameras powered by both the Hirose I/O port and the Gigabit Ethernet port will
use the power provided by Hirose I/O port only.

Pin 2, Camera Power, supports an input voltage range of 7–25 VDC. The camera
will not power in reverse polarity. Exceeding the 25 V will damage the camera.

Isolated IO ground

The Isolated IO GND connection provides the user ground reference and return
path for In 2, Out 3, and Out 4. It is recommended that the ground wiring be
physically close to the In/Out wiring to prevent parasitic coupling. For exam­ple, a good cable design connects In 2 to one conductor of a twisted pair, Iso-
lated IO GND to the second conductor of the same twisted pair.

RxD RS-232 and TxD RS-232

These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals are not optically isolated.
Tie RS-232 ground to Camera GND to complete the RS-232 circuit. Communica-
tion is at 11520 baud.

Isolated Out Power

The Isolated Out Power connection provides power for isolated signals Out 3
and Out 4. The voltage requirement is 5–24 VDC. The current requirement for
this supply is a function of the optical isolator collector current and the number
of outputs used in the system. Isolated Out Power wiring should be physically
close to Out 3 / Out 4 wiring to prevent parasitic coupling.

Note

Input triggers

Input triggers allow the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The
camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both
edges, or level of the signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an
image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.

In 1 – non-isolated

In 1 is not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental noise is
inconsequential and faster trigger response is required. The required trigger
signal is low voltage TTL 3.3 V. Tie trigger ground to Camera GND to complete
the trigger circuit.

In 2 – opto-isolated

In 2 is optically isolated and can be used in electrically noisy environments to
prevent false trigger events. Tie trigger ground to Isolated IO GND to complete
the trigger circuit. Compared to the non-isolated trigger, In 2 has a longer
propagation time. It can be driven from 5 to 24 V with a minimum current
source of 5 mA.

Output signals

Output signals can be assigned to a variety of internal camera signals via soft­ware. They can be configured to active high or active low. The internal camera
signals are listed as follows:

Caution



Exceeding 5.1 V on In 1 can permanently damage the camera

Exposing Corresponds to when camera is integrating light.

Trigger Ready Indicates when the camera is ready to accept a trigger signal.

Trigger Input A relay of the trigger input signal used to “daisy chain” the

trigger signal for multiple cameras.

Readout Valid when camera is reading out data.

Imaging Valid when camera is exposing or reading out.

Strobe Programmable pulse based on one of the above events.

GPO User programmable binary output.

Out 1 and 2 – non-isolated

Out 1 and Out 2 signals are not electrically isolated and can be used when envi­ronmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response is
required. Tie signal ground to Camera GND to complete the external circuit. The
output signal is a low voltage TTL, maximum 3.3 V. Not suitable for driving

loads in excess of 50 μA.

Out 3 and 4 – opto-isolated

Out 3 and Out 4 signals are optically isolated and require the user to provide a
voltage level, Isolated Out Power. Tie signal ground to Isolated IO GND to
complete the external circuit. Isolated Out Power can be configured between
5–24 V. An example of the functional circuit is indicated in the following dia­gram.

Trigger current, and OUT ICC are a function of Isolated Out Power voltage.

If Isolated Out Power = 24 V, an additional load resistance, R
is required to limit OUT ICC.

Lens control port

Prosilica GT cameras can be used with C-/CS-Mount auto iris lenses of DC type,
and P-Iris type.

Both DC and P-Iris lens types use the same standard connector, located on the
side of the camera. Lens type is automatically determined by the camera on
power-up. Connecting the lens after the camera is powered will not damage the
lens, but it will not be recognized by the camera; therefore, the relevant camera
control attributes will not function. If this occurs, disconnect and reconnect the
camera power supply.

Note



Video-type auto iris lenses are not supported.

Motorized CCTV lenses are not supported.

***Read lens descriptions carefully before purchasing***

For example, a “motorized iris lens” may be a bipolar single
axis motorized lens, and not a DC auto iris or P-Iris lens

DC-Iris lenses

The Prosilica GT operates with any standard DC-type auto iris lens. AVT tested
lenses include Fujinon DV10x8SA-SA1L, Computar HG2Z0414FC-MP, and Pentax
C61227DCPS.

DC-type auto iris lenses are continuously driven by a voltage (0–3.3 V) from the
camera lens control port. This voltage level determines whether the lens opens
or closes, and is calculated based on the applicable iris camera attributes.

Operation

1. Connect a DC-Iris lens to the camera before powering up the camera.

2. Power up camera, and open camera control software.

3. Set camera to live image with desired ExposureValue and GainValue attri­butes.

4. Set IrisMode = DCIris. Camera uses an automatic algorithm to determine
correct lens iris position based on the IrisVideoLevel attribute.

5. If lens operation is too slow or oscillates, see LensDCDriveStrength.

P-Iris lenses

P-Iris (Precise iris) lenses allow the camera to adjust to an exact F-number with­out drift, through the usage of a stepper motor. The host system knows the
exact position of the iris at all times, allowing for a closed loop feedback sys­tem.

Operation

1. Connect a P-Iris lens to the camera before powering up the camera.

2. Power up camera, and open camera control software.

3. Set camera to live image with desired ExposureValue and GainValue attri­butes.

4. Set LensPIrisFrequency as specified by lens documentation, or in sup­ported P-Iris lens list, as described in the next section. All P-Iris lenses
tested thus far operate well between [100-200].

5. Set LensPIrisNumSteps as specified by lens documentation, or in sup­ported P-Iris lens list, as described in the next section.

6. Set IrisMode attribute to PIrisAuto or PIrisManual. PIrisAuto uses an
automatic algorithm to determine correct LensPIrisPosition based on the

Trigger rules

•The end of exposure will always trigger the next readout.

•The end of exposure must always end after the current readout.

•The start of exposure must always correspond with the interline time if

readout is true.

• Exposure start delay equals the readout time minus the registered expo-

sure time.

Triggering during the idle state

For applications requiring the shortest possible Trigger Latency and the smallest
possible Trigger Jitter the User Trigger signal should be applied when Imaging is
false and Idle is true. In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter are as indi-
cated in the camera Specifications section.

Triggering during the readout state

For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, apply the User Trigger
signal as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected. In this case, Trigger Latency
and Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 row time since Exposure must always begin on
an Interline boundary.

Trigger ready Indicates to the user that the camera will accept

the next trigger

Registered exposure time Exposure time value currently stored in the camera

memory

Exposure start delay Registered exposure time subtracted from the

readout time and indicates when the next exposure
cycle can begin such that the exposure will end
after the current readout

Interline time Time between sensor row readout cycles

Imaging High when the camera image sensor is either

exposing and/or reading out data

Idle High if the camera image sensor is not exposing

and/or reading out data

Note



The user trigger pulse width should be at least three times the
width of the trigger latency as indicated in Chapter

Specifications on page 12.

Resolution and ROI frame rates

AVT Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.0.8

Resolution and ROI frame rates

This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor region of
interest (ROI), from full image to a single line.

Prosilica GT1290

Note



• Data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124
MB/s (full bandwidth) and an 8-bit pixel format. Frame

rates may be lower if using network hardware incapable
of 124 MB/s.

• ROIs are center image, where attribute RegionY = (full
sensor height – ROI height)/2, for maximum speed
advantage on quad-tap CCD sensors.

• There is no frame rate increase with reduced width.

• BinningY is horizontal row summing on CCD before read­out. The frame rate for an ROI at the same effective
height as binning will be slower because the CCD still
needs to read out the “fast readout rows” in ROI mode.
