6.1.2. Shutter
All cameras of the SX series are equipped with a global shutter.
Pixel
Active Area (Photodiode)
Storage Area
Microlens
Global shutter means that all pixels of the sensor are reset and afterwards exposed for a  specied interval (t
exposure
). 
For  each  pixel  an  adjacent  storage  area  exists.  Once  the  exposure time elapsed, the information  of  a  pixel  is  transferred  immediately  to  its  storage  area  and  read  out  from 
there.
Due to the fact that photosensitive surface gets "lost" by the implementation of the storage  area, the pixels are mostly equipped with microlenses, which focus the light to the pixels 
active area.

6.1.3. Readout Modes
The Truesense Imaging sensors, employed in Baumer SXC cameras, are subdivided into 
four Taps.
Due to  Baumer's integrated calibration  technique, these taps are invisible within the re­corded images, but affect the operation and the rate of the readout process and therewith the readout time (t
readout
).
Quad Mode6.1.3.1.
On quad readout mode all four taps are read out simultaneously as displayed in the sub­sequent gure.
The data of all pixels of one tap are moved to the output register and afterwards trans-
fered to the memory.
Once the information have left the output register, the readout is done. 
This mode provides the full potential of the sensor and leads to the maximum frame rate.
Dual Mode6.1.3.2.
On  dual  readout  mode  two  taps  (Tap 0 + Tap 2 and Tap 1 + Tap  3)  are  combined. 
The data of all pixels of one tap are moved to the output register and afterwards trans-
fered to the memory.
Once the information have left the output register, the readout is nished. 
Due to the fact, that more data needs to be read out, the t
readout
is increased compared to
the quad readout mode.
It is considered:     t
readout(Dual Mode)
 ≈ 2 × t
readout(Quad Mode)

Single Mode6.1.3.3.
In single readout mode all taps are combined as displayed in the subsequent gure.
The data of all pixels of the sensor are moved to the output register and afterwards trans-
fered to the memory.
Once the information have left the output register, the readout is done. 
Due to the fact, that the complete sensor needs to be read out, the readout time t
readout
is
increased compared to quad and dual readout mode.
It is considered:     t
readout(Single Mode)
 ≈ 4 × t

Timings6.2.
The image acquisition consists of two seperate, successively processed components.
Exposing the pixels on the photosensitive surface of the sensor is only the rst part of the  image acquisition. After completion of the rst step, the pixels are read out.
Thereby the exposure time (t
exposure
) can be adjusted by the user, however, the time need-
ed for the readout (t
readout
) is given by the particular sensor and image format.
Baumer  cameras  can  be  operated  with  two  modes,  the  Free Running Mode and the
Trigger Mode.
The cameras can be operated non-overlapped
*)
or overlapped. Depending on the mode
used, and the combination of exposure and readout time:
Non-overlapped Operation Overlapped Operation
Here the time intervals are long enough to process exposure and readout succes-
sively.
In this operation the exposure of a frame
(n+1) takes place during the readout of  frame (n).

6.2.1. Free Running Mode
In the "Free Running" mode the camera records images permanently and sends them to 
the PC. In order to achieve an optimal (with regard to the adjusted exposure time t
exposure
and image format) the camera is operated overlapped.
In case of exposure times equal to / less than the readout time (t
exposure
 ≤ t
readout
), the maxi­mum frame rate is provided for the image format used. For longer exposure times the frame rate of the camera is reduced.

6.2.2. Trigger Mode
After a  specied external event (trigger) has occurred, image acquisition  is started. De­pending on the interval of triggers used, the camera operates non-overlapped or over­lapped in this mode.
With regard to timings in the trigger mode, the following basic formulas need to be taken
into consideration:
Case Formula

(1) t

(3) t

(4) t
notready(n+1)
= t
exposure(n)
6.2.2.1. Overlapped Operation: t
exposure(n+2)
= t
exposure(n+1)
In overlapped operation attention should be paid to the time interval where the camera is unable to process occuring trigger signals (t
notready
). This interval is situated between two 
exposures. When this process time t
notready
has elapsed, the camera is able to react to
external events again.
After t
notready
 has elapsed, the timing of (E) depends on the readout time of the current im-
age (t
readout(n)
) and exposure time of the next image (t
exposure(n+1)
). It can be determined by the 
formulas mentioned above (no. 1 or 3, as is the case).
In case of identical exposure times, t
notready
remains the same from acquisition to acquisi-
tion.

If the exposure time (t

tion, the time the camera is unable to process occuring trigger signals (t

) is scaled 
down.
This can be simulated with the formulas mentioned above (no. 2 or 4, as is the case).

6.2.2.3. Overlapped Operation: t
exposure(n+2)
< t

If the exposure time (t
exposure
) is decreased from the current acquisition to the next acquisi-
tion, the time the camera is unable to process occuring trigger signals (t
notready
) is scaled 
up.
When decreasing the t
exposure
such, that t
notready
exceeds the pause between two incoming
trigger signals, the camera is unable to process this trigger and the acquisition of the im-
age will not start (the trigger will be skipped).

8.1. Image Acquisition
8.1.1. Image Format
A digital camera usually delivers image data in at least one format - the native resolution  of the sensor. Baumer cameras are able to provide several image formats (depending on  the type of camera).
Compared  with  standard  cameras,  the  image  format  on  Baumer  cameras  not  only  in­cludes resolution, but a set of predened parameter.
These parameters are:
▪ Resolution (horizontal and vertical dimensions in pixels) ▪ Binning Mode (see chapter 4.1.7)

8.1.2. Pixel Format
On Baumer digital cameras the pixel format depends on the selected image format.
Denitions8.1.2.1.
RAW: Raw data format. Here the data are stored without processing.
Bayer: Raw data format of color sensors.
Color lters are placed on these sensors in a checkerboard pattern, generally  in a 50% green, 25% red and 25% blue array.
Mono: Monochrome. The color range of mono images consists of shades of a single
color. In general, shades of gray  or  black-and-white are synonyms for mono-
chrome.
RGB: Color model, in which all detectable colors are dened by three coordinates, 
Red, Green and Blue.
Red
Green
Blue
Black
White
The three coordinates are displayed within the buffer in the order R, G, B. 
BGR: Here the color alignment mirrors RGB.
YUV: Color model, which is used in the PAL TV standard and in image compression.
In YUV, a high bandwidth luminance signal (Y: luma information) is transmitted  together with two color difference signals with low bandwidth (U and V: chroma  information). Thereby U represents the difference between blue and luminance  (U = B - Y), V is the difference between red and luminance (V = R - Y). The third 
color, green, does not need to be transmitted, its value can be calculated from the other three values.
YUV 4:4:4 Here each of the three components has the same sample rate.
Therefore there is no subsampling here.
YUV 4:2:2 The chroma components are sampled at half the sample rate.
This reduces the necessary bandwidth to two-thirds (in relation to  4:4:4) and causes no, or low visual differences.
YUV 4:1:1 Here the chroma components are sampled at a quater of the
sample rate.This decreases the necessary bandwith by half (in  relation to 4:4:4).

Pixel depth: In general, pixel depth denes the number  of  possible  different values for 
each color  channel. Mostly this will be 8 bit, which  means 28 different "col-
ors".
For RGB or BGR these 8 bits per channel equal 24 bits overall.

8.1.3. Exposure Time
On exposure  of the sensor, the inclination of photons  produces a charge  separation on 
the semiconductors of the pixels. This results in a voltage difference, which is used for signal extraction.

The signal strength is inuenced by the incoming amount of photons. It can be increased  by increasing the exposure time (t

Look-Up-Table8.1.4.
The Look-Up-Table (LUT) is employed on Baumer monochrome cameras. It contains 212 (4096) values for the available levels of gray. These values can be adjusted by the user.
Region of Interest (ROI)8.1.5.
With the ROI function it is possible to predene a so-called Region of Interest (ROI). This  ROI is an area of pixels of the sensor. On image acquisition, only the information of these 
pixels is sent to the PC. Therefore all the lines of the sensor need not be read out, which decreases the readout time (t
readout
). This increases the frame rate.
This function is employed, when only a region of the eld of view is of interest. It is coupled 
to a reduction in resolution.
The ROI is specied by four values:
▪  X  - x-coordinate of the rst relevant pixel ▪  Y  - y-coordinate of the rst relevant pixel ▪ Size X  - horizontal size of the ROI ▪ Size Y  - vertical size of the ROI
Start ROI
End ROI
8.1.6. Partial Scan Readout
For  the  readout  of  the  ROI,  the  vertical  subdivision  of  the  sensor  (see  2.1.3.  Readout Modes) is unimportant – only the horizontal subdivision is of note.
Both sensor halves are read out simultaneously as displayed in the subsequent gure.
The readout is line based, which means always a complete line of pixels needs to be read 
out and afterwards the irrelevant information is discarded.
Due to the fact, that the sensor halves are always read out symmetrically, the readout time 
t
readout
 is signicantly affected both by the size of the ROI and also by its position.

Read out Lines
The most signicant reduction of the readout time – compared to a full frame readout in  dual mode – can be achieved if the ROI is positioned as follows:
within one of the sensor halves ▪ symmetrically spread to both sensor halves ▪
For example, the readout time of the ROI's in the gures 21 and 22 is the same. 
On asymmetrically spread ROI's, the readout time  is  affected  by  the  bigger  part of the  ROI.
An example for this fact is shown in the gure below:
The ROI has the same size as in gure 21, but is not symmetrically spread to both sen-
sor halves. In this special case the time for the readout of the same number of pixels is
increased by 50%, caused only by ROI's position.

8.1.7. Binning
On digital  cameras,  you  can  nd  several  operations  for  progressing sensitivity. One  of  them is the so-called "Binning". Here, the charge carriers of neighboring pixels are aggre­gated. Thus, the progression is greatly increased by the amount of binned pixels. By using  this operation, the progression in sensitivity is coupled to a reduction in resolution.
Baumer cameras support three types of Binning - vertical, horizontal and bidirectional.
In unidirectional binning, vertically or horizontally neighboring pixels are aggregated and 
reported to the software as one single "superpixel".
In bidirectional binning, a square of neighboring pixels is aggregated.

8.1.8. BrightnessCorrection(BinningCorrection)
The aggregation of charge carriers may cause an overload. To prevent this, binning cor­rection was introduced. Here, three binning modes need to be considered separately:
Binninig Realization
1x2 1x2 binning is performed within the sensor, binning correction also takes
place here. A possible overload is prevented by halving the exposure time.
2x1 2x1 binning takes place within the FPGA of the camera. The binning cor-
rection is realized by aggregating the charge quantities, and then halving 
this sum.

8.2. Color Adjustment – WhiteBalance
This feature is available on all color cameras of the Baumer SXC series and takes 
place within the Bayer processor.
White balance means independent adjustment of the three color channels, red,
green and blue by employing of a correction factor for each channel.
User-specic8.2.1. Color Adjustment
The user-specic color adjustment in Baumer color cameras facilitates adjustment of the  correction factors  for each color gain. This way, the user  is able to adjust the amplica­tion of each color channel exactly to his needs. The correction factors for the color gains  
range from 1 to 4.

8.3.2. Gain
In industrial environments motion blur is unacceptable. Due to this fact exposure times are limited. However, this causes low output signals from the camera and results in dark
images. To  solve  this  issue,  the  signals  can  be  amplied  by  a  user-dened  gain  factor 
within the camera. This gain factor is adjustable from 1 to 20.
Notice
Increasing the gain factor causes an increase of image noise.

8.4. Pixel Correction
General information8.4.1.
A certain probability for abnormal pixels - the so-called defect pixels -  applies to the sen­sors of all manufacturers. The charge quantity on these pixels is not linear-dependent on 
the exposure time.
The occurrence of these defect pixels is unavoidable and intrinsic to the manufacturing and aging process of the sensors.
The operation of the camera is not affected by these pixels. They only appear as brighter  (warm pixel) or darker (cold pixel) spot in the recorded image.

On  monochrome  cameras  of  the  Baumer  SXC  series,  the  problem  of  defect  pixels  is  solved as follows:
Possible defect pixels are identied during the production process of the camera.  ▪ The coordinates of these pixels are stored in the factory settings of the camera (see  ▪
4.4.3. Defectpixellist). Once the sensor readout is completed, correction takes place: ▪
Before any other processing, the values of the neighboring pixels on the left and the  ▪
right side of the defect pixel, will be read out Then the average value of these 2 pixels is determined ▪ Finally, the value of the defect pixel is substituted by the previously determined  ▪ average value

With this feature, Baumer offers the possibility of wiring the output connectors to internal 
signals, which are controlled on the software side.
Hereby on cameras of the SX series, 14 signal sources – subdivided into three categories 
– can be applied to the output connectors.
The rst category of output signals represents a loop through of signals on the input side,  such as:
Signal Name Explanation
Line0 Signal of input "Line0" is loopthroughed to this ouput
Line1 Signal of input "Line1" is loopthroughed to this ouput

this ouput
FrameGrabberLine3 Signal of input "FrameGrabberLine3" is loopthroughed to

8.5.4. Debouncer
The basic idea behind this feature was to seperate interfering signals (short peaks) from 
valid square wave signals, which can be important in industrial environments. Debouncing
means that invalid signals are ltered out, and signals lasting longer than a user-dened 
testing time t
DebounceHigh
will be recognized, and routed to the camera to induce a trigger.
In order to detect the end of a valid signal and lter out possible jitters within the signal, a 
second testing time t
DebounceLow
was introduced. This timing is also adjustable by the user. 
If the signal value falls to state low and does not rise within t
DebounceLow
, this is recognized
as end of the signal.
The debouncing times t
DebounceHigh
and t
DebounceLow
are adjustable from 0 to 5 msec in steps
of 1 μsec.
This feature is disabled by default.

Flash Signal8.5.5.
The CameraLink® standard doesn't describe an explicite ash signal.
On  Baumer  cameras,  this  feature  is  realized  by  the  internal  signal  "ExposureActive", 
which can be wired to one of the digital outputs.
Debouncer:
Please note that the edges of valid trigger signals are shifted by t
DebounceHigh
and
t
DebounceLow
!
Depending on these two timings, the trigger signal might be temporally stretched or compressed.

8.6. User Sets
Three user sets (1-3) are available for the Baumer cameras of the SXC series. The user  sets can contain the following information:
Parameter Parameter
Binning Mode Mirroring Control
CameraLink
®
Control Offset
Defectpixellist Partial Scan
Digital I/O Settings Pixelformat
Exposure Time Readout Mode
Gain Factor Testpattern
Look-Up-Table Trigger Settings
These user sets are stored within the camera and and cannot be saved outside the de­vice.
By employing a so-called "user set default selector", one of the three possible user sets 
can be selected as default, which means, the camera starts up with these adjusted pa­rameters.
Factory Settings8.7.
The factory settings are stored in an additional parametrization set which is used by de­fault. This settings are not editable.

CameraLink9.
®
The CameraLink® interface was especially developed for cameras in machine vision ap-
plications and provides high transfer rates and low latency. Depending on the congura­tion (Base, Medium or Full) the transfer rate adds up to 680 MBytes/sec.
Cameras of the Baumer SXC series are equipped with a CameraLink
®
 Base interface and 
therewith able to transmit up to 240MBytes/sec.
9.1. Channel Link and LVDS Technology
CameraLink® bases upon the Channel Link® technology, but provides a specication, that 
is more benecial for machine vision.
Channel Link
®
 in turn is an advancement of the LDVS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) 
standard – a low power, high speed interface standard.
The Channel Link
®
 technology  consists of a transmitter receiver pair, whereat 21, 28  or 
48 single-ended data signals and a single-ended clock signal can be wired on transmitter
side. Within the transmitter the data is serialized with a ratio of 7:1. Afterwards the four re­sulting data streams and the clock signal are transferred via ve LVDS pairs. On receiver 
side the four LVDS data streams and the LVDS clock are reordered to parallel signals and afterwards forwarded to further processing.
Camera Signals9.2.
The standard designates three different signal types, provided via standard CameraLink® cable:
Serial 9.2.1. Communication
The standard regulates two LVDS pairs are allocated for asynchronous serial communi­cation between the camera and the frame grabber. Cameras and frame grabbers should support at least 9600 baud serial communication.

operation.
39
The following signals are designated:
Signal Description
SerTFG LVDS pair for serial communications to the frame grabber
SerTC LVDS pair for serial communications to the camera
The serial interface must apply the following regulations:
one start bit, ▪ one stop bit, ▪ no parity and ▪ no handshaking. ▪
9.2.2. Camera Control
According to the CameraLink® standard four LVDS pairs have to be reserved for general-
purpose camera control. They are dened as frame grabber outputs and camera inputs.  The denition of these signals is left to the camera manufacturer.

On Baumer SXC cameras, the wiring  of these signals is arbitrary.
Camera Control 2 (CC2) FrameGrabberLine1
Camera Control 3 (CC3) FrameGrabberLine2
Camera Control 4 (CC4) FrameGrabberLine3
9.2.3. Video Data
The  standard  designates  four  signals  (as well  as  the  signal  state)  for  the  validation  of  transmitted image data:
Signal Description
FVAL Frame Valid is dened high for valid lines.
LVAL Line Valid is dened high for valid pixels.
DVAL Data Valid is dened high for valid data.
Spare Has been dened for future use.
9.3. Chip and Port Assignment
As previously stated CameraLink® comes with three different congurations. 
Since the data processing of one Channel Link
®
chip is limited to 28 bits, several chips
may be required for an efcient data transfer. Depending on the conguration, a camera  may be equipped with up to three chips.
The standard designates a port as an 8-bit word. The CameraLink
®
interface uses up to
eight port (A-H).
An overview of congurations, used ports, Channel Link
®
chips and camera connectors is
given within the chart below.

9.4. CameraLink® Taps
The standard denes a tap as "the data path carrying a stream of pixels". This means the  number of taps equates to the number of simultaniously transferred pixel.
Notice
Please do not mix up sensor taps and CameraLink

taps.

9.4.2. Tap Geometry
Since frame grabbers possess the ability of image reconstruction from multi-tap cameras "on-the-y",  the  CameraLink®  standards  demands  the  specication  of  the  used  /  sup­ported tap geometries from the manufacturers of both, cameras and frame grabbers.
Single 9.4.2.1. Tap Geometry
For single tap transmission the cameras of the Baumer SXC series employ the 1X-1Y tap  geometry:
Dual 9.4.2.2. Tap Geometry
For dual tap transmission the cameras of the Baumer SXC series employ the 1X2-1Y tap  geometry:
Tripple 9.4.2.3. Tap Geometry
For triple tap transmission the cameras of the Baumer SXC series employ the 1X3-1Y tap  geometry:
