Introduction

Cleaning optics

Caution
AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to the sen­sor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.
Caution
Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers can damage fragile optical coatings.

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 the sensor glass.

Color cameras with IR filter

Prosilica GX 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 on the sensor glass, IR filter removal is necessary. Depending on the manufac­turing date of your Prosilica GX camera, the IR filter may be slot type, or pinhole type. Slot type filters can be removed using a small flat head screw driver. Pin­hole type filters require a pin spanner wrench for removal.
10
Introduction
Note
A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available for purchase from AVT. AVT P/N: E9020001

Cleaning with air

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

Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approxi­mately ~ 4.8 bar (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.
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.

Filters
All Prosilica GX 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 GX cameras.

Adjustment of C-Mount

www
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.
Figure 26: Prosilica GX camera and locking wrench
Prosilica GX cameras are shipped with an adjustable C-Mount or F-Mount. The camera can also be built with a CS-Mount on request. See AVT Modular Concept for more information:
http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/us/support/downloads/ product-literature/avt-modular-concept.html

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.
Note

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.
A wrench suitable for this procedure is available for purchase from AVT. AVT P/N: 02-5003A

Adjustment of F-Mount

The F-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting. If for some reason, the lens mount requires adjustment, use the following method.
Figure 27: Prosilica GX F-Mount isometric view

Attach F-Mount compatible lens

Use an F-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Attach the lens to the camera using a counter-clockwise rotation of about a quarter turn. The lens should snap into place and the lens flange and camera flange should mate over the full circumference.

Loosen F-Mount front assembly

Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to loosen the 3 set screws than hold the F-Mount front assembly to the camera body.

Image to infinity

Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object—10 to 15 m should suffice. Gently move the F-Mount front until focused and lock it in place.

Gigabit Ethernet port

The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. AVT recommends using Category 6 or higher com­patible cabling and connectors for best performance.
The Prosilica GX offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports. This interface is enabled using Link aggregation. A link aggregation group (LAG) is automatically config­ured on the camera when both ports are connected. The host computer requires a dual port, LAG capable Ethernet adapter. The LAG group needs to be config­ured by the user.

I/O definition

Camera Power

The Prosilica GX camera family supports a wide input power voltage range. The camera will not power in reverse polarity. Exceeding the voltage range specified below will damage the camera.
Caution
5–24 V. 12 V nominal.
Note

Isolated IO GND

This connection provides the user ground reference and return path for the In 2, Out 3, and Out 4. It is also recommended that the ground wiring be physi-
cally close to the used In/Out to prevent parasitic coupling. For example, a good cable design would connect the required signal on one conductor of a twisted pair and the Isolated IO GND on the second conductor of the same twisted pair.

RxD RS-232 and TxD RS-232

A 12 V power adapter with Hirose connector can be ordered from AVT:
• AVT P/N 02-8003A North America Supply.
• AVT P/N 02-8004A Universal Supply.
These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the camera. Tie RS-232 ground to Camera GND to complete the RS-232 circuit.

Isolated Out Power

The Isolated Out Power connection provides power for isolated signals Out 3 and Out 4. The voltage requirement is 5–24 V DC. 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.

Input triggers

In 1 and In 2
In 1 and In 2 allow the camera to be synchronized to some external event. These signals are optically isolated and require the signal common (Isolated IO GND). The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising or falling edge of these signals. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some pro­grammable delay time after the trigger event. These signals can be driven from 5 V to 24 V with a minimum current source of 5 mA.

Video iris connection

Prosilica GX cameras provide built-in auto iris controls for controlling video­type auto-iris lenses. These lenses are available from many popular security lens companies including Pentax, Fujinon, Tamron, Schneider and others.
Remote iris lens control allows the camera to be more adaptable to changing light conditions. It allows the user to manually control the exposure and gain values and rely solely on the auto iris for adjustment to ambient lighting.
Caution
This diagram uses CAMERA POWER to power the video iris lens, and assumes CAMERA POWER = 12 V. Most video iris lenses operate at a 8–16 V input voltage. Therefore, this circuit is
not appropriate if using a 24 V camera power supply. Doing so may irreparably damage your lens. Please consult your
video iris lens specifications for the appropriate drive voltage.

Trigger rules
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 13.
•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.
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.

Resolution and ROI frame rates
This section provides performance information about the impact of reducing the region of interest on the camera’s maximum frame rate. In addition, because the Prosilica GX camera offers Dual GigE LAG, the impact of using a single Ether­net connection versus dual Ethernet connections with the host is compared.

Single port GigE connection with the Prosilica GX

When a Prosilica GX camera is connected to the host computer using a single Ethernet connection, it behaves like a single port GigE Vision camera. The total bandwidth available for the camera is 125 MB or 1 Gb. A Dual GigE LAG connec­tion supported by the Prosilica GX camera offers up to 250 MB or 2 Gb of band­width.

Bandwidth limiting of frame rate

There are several factors that limit the frame rate of a camera, for example, input trigger speed and mode, exposure time, sensor readout time, and avail­able bandwidth. For the following discussion and charts we assume input trig­ger settings and exposure time are set so as not to limit the frame of the camera. This leaves sensor readout time, the time to physically output the charge off a camera sensor, and available bandwidth. In most cases, the sensor readout time dictates the true frame rate of a camera, unless the amount of transmitted data exceeds what is available on the GigE interface.
In the example chart below, the frame rate for a 16-bit pixel format is given on a GX1050 camera. The upper line shows the frame rate in Dual GigE mode, where no bandwidth limitation occurs. The lower line shows the frame rate in single GigE mode, where bandwidth limitation occurs after a data threshold of 124 Mb/s. This is the shaded region below, occurring at an image height greater than 200 pixels.

Resolution and ROI frame rates
Note
For some GX cameras, e.g. GX1910, GX2300, bandwidth limit­ing occurs even in 8-bit pixel formats, although not as severely as with a 16-bit pixel format.
The Prosilica GX camera can be operated near peak sensor frame rates even when using a single port connection. The frame rate vs. height graphs included in this section provide frame rate performance results for both single GigE port and Dual GigE LAG configurations at 8-/16-bit output formats.
Note
• Frame rate data was generated using StreamBytesPer­Second = 124 MB/s and 8-/16-bit pixel format
– 8-bit pixel formats: Mono8, BayerRG8, or BayerGR8 – 16-bit pixel formats: Mono12, BayerRG12, or Bayer-
GR12
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 a quad-tap CCD sensor.
• The camera frame rate can be increased by reducing the camera's Height attribute, resulting in a decreased region of interest (ROI) or “window”.
• The camera frame rate can also be increased by increas­ing the camera's BinningY attribute, resulting in a verti­cally scaled image (less overall height with same field of view).
• There is no frame rate increase with reduced width.
