Introduction

EMVA 1288

With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.

EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test

parameters, means that all manufacturers’ are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.

In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org

Interface

The SP-20000-USB employs a USB 3.0 interface and is in the process of being certified for compliance with the USB3 Vision standard. USB3 Vision is a new standard interface for machine vision applications being developed and managed by the AIA (Automated Imaging Association). USB3 Vision uses USB 3.0 ports that will soon be standard on most PCs (with Windows 7 service pack and Windows 8 native support expected soon). Components from different manufacturers will easily communicate with each other.

USB3 Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is managed by the EMVA (European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras from different manufacturers can seamlessly connect in one platform.

The maximum transfer speed of USB 3.0 is specified at 5.0 Gbps, however effective bandwidth is reduced by a number of factors including pixel format conversions and the physical interface components used. The USB3 Vision standard specifies a bandwidth of 2.8 Gbps or greater. Maximum cable length for passive cables is five meters, but this can be made longer using active cables.

As for the USB connector, SP-20000-USB uses a Micro B connector which complies with USB3.0. This connector has an additional 5-pin plug “stacked” on the side of a standard USB 2.0 Micro B connector. However, USB 2.0 cannot be used with the SP-20000-USB.

Power supply

Although the USB 3.0 interface is capable of supporting both data and power, the power supplied through the interface is not sufficient to operate the camera. A separate power supply unit must be connected to the 12-pin connector.

Computer used for SP-20000-USB series

It is necessary to use a PC equippped with a USB 3.0 interface. It is also recommended to use a PC equipped with slots of better than PC Express 2.0 x 8. Please note that the SP-20000-USB may not work properly depending on the chipset used in the PC.

1. General

The SP-20000-USB cameras are members of JAI’s new “Spark Series.” They provide both high resolution and a high frame rate with excellent image quality for machine vision applications. The SP-20000M-USB is a monochrome progressive scan COMS camera and the SP-20000C-USB is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped with CMOS sensors offering a 35 mm full size image format, a resolution of 20 million pixels, and a 4:3 aspect ratio. They provide 16 frames per second for continuous scanning with 5120 x 3480 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.

8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit outputs can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The new cameras feature a USB3 Vision interface. A full pixel readout or partial scan readout mode can be selected depending on applications.

The SP-20000-USB has various comprehensive functions needed for automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, flat field shading compensation and blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video level control.

5.4 Optical Interface

SP-20000-USB is equipped with opto-isolated inputs and outputs, providing galvanic separation between the camera’s inputs/outputs and peripheral equipment. In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope with a wide range of voltages; the voltage range for inputs is +3.3V to +24V DC whereas outputs will handle +5V to +24V DC. The following drawing is the concept of photo coupler

5.5 Pulse Generator

The SP-20000-USB has a frequency divider using the sensor clock as the basic clock and two pulse generators. In each Pulse Generator, various Clear settings are connected to GPIO. The following shows Pulse Generator default settings.

Table - 7 Pulse Generator default settings

5.5.1 Clock Pre-scaler

Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit length) and the sensor clock is used for this. Two built-in pulse generators work by the same clock.

In the SP-20000-USB, the sensor pixel clock is 40 MHz .

Note: When Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the camera is operating in free-running mode.

However, based on the above default settings, Length=1, Start Point=0 and End Point=1, Pulse Generator stops at High output. Therefore, if Start Point =0 and End Point=1 are configured, Length should be “2” as the minimum active width.

5.5.2 Pulse Generator Selector

This is where you select one of the 2 pulse generators in order to set or modify its parameters.

Table - 8 Pulse Generator setting

Fig.10 Pulse Generator pulse construction

5.5.3 Pulse Generator Length

Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 12) for the selected pulse

generator. If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.

5.5.4 Pulse Generator Start Point

Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator. However, please note that a maximum jitter of 1 clock can occur for the clock which is divided in the clock pre-scaler.

5.5.5 Pulse Generator End Point

Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.

5.5.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count

Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an active pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly. However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as a free-running counter.

5.5.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation

Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.

5.5.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode

Set the counter clear method for the selected pulse generator. In the case of Async Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will stop counting according to the clear signal input. In the case of Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the counter will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count. Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.

Note: (1) In the SP-20000-USB, the frame rate control is done in steps of 1 μs unit. Therefore, FVAL Non Active

conversion has tolerance.

(2) Even if the horizontal binning is ON, the horizontal frequency is not doubled. Therefore, the

vertical frequency is not increased.

(3) If the vertical binning is ON, the horizontal frequency becomes half. Therefore, if the height is

half, the vertical frequency is not doubled.

(4) In the SP-20000-USB, the frame rate can be varied in steps of 1 μs. “(B) FVAL NON Active” in

table 14 will vary accordingly.

6.3.3 ROI (Region Of Interest)

In the SP-20000-USB, a subset of the image can be output by setting Width, Height, Offset-X, and Offset-Y. If the height is decreased, the number of lines read out is decreased and as the result, the frame rate is increased. However, in the horizontal directon, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width is decreased. In the SP-20000-USB, the minimum width is “8” and minimum height is “2”.

7. Operating modes

7.1. Acquisition control (change the frame rate)

7.1.1 Acquisition Mode

In the SP-20000M-USB and SP-20000C-USB, the following three acquisition modes are available.

Single frame : One frame can be output by AcqusitionStart command Multi frames : The number of frames specified in Acquistion Frame Count, are output by AcquisitionStart command Continuous : Images are continuously output by AcquisitionStart command until AcqusitionStop command is input.

7.1.1.1 Single Frame

In single frame mode, executing the AcquisitionStart command causes one frame to be captured. After one frame is captured, this operation is automatically stopped. In order to restart the capture, it is necessary to input the AcquisitionStart command again. BlockID is not reset until AcquisitionStop is input and is incremented when the AcquisitionStart command is called. In the case of PIV operation, single frame mode is not available.

◆ Normal single frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE” (accepts capture)

3) 1 frame is output

4) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing)

5) Output is stopped

Note: This figure is if the trigger mode is OFF, and when the trigger mode is

ON, FrameActive becomes True at different AcquisitionActive timing.

Fig.23 Single Frame operation

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing).

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed.

Associated functions: AcquisitionStart、AcquisitionStop

SP-20000M-USB / SP-20000C-USB

- 38 -

7.1.1.2 Multi Frames

In this mode, the AcquisitionStart command captures the number of frames which are specified by AcquisitionFrameCount. If JAI_PIV is configured, it is necessary to set an even number.

◆ Normal multi-frame operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”(accepts capture)

4) Output N frames as specified by AcquisitionFrameCount

5) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. Then the output stops. (See the following diagram)

Note: This figure is if the trigger is set to ON, and when the trigger is OFF, FrameActive becomes True at the same timing of AcquisitionActive.

Fig.24 ． Multi Frame operation

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

While AcquisitionActive is “TRUE”, if AcquisitionStop or AcquisitionAbort is initiated, AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing). Once the operation is set to “FALSE”, the internal FrameCount is reset.

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed. Once, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE”, the internal count is reset.

 Acqusition Frame Count : Can be set in the range of 1 to 255

Associated functions: AcquisitionStart、AcquisitionFrameCount、AcquisitionStop

SP-20000M-USB / SP-20000C-USB

- 39 -

7.1.1.3 Continuous

In this mode, when the AcquisitionStart command is set, the image is continuously output at the current frame rate. This is the default setting for the SP-20000M-USB and SP-20000C-USB.

◆ Normal continuous operation

1) AcquisitionStart command is input

2) AcquisitionTriggerWait becomes effective

3) AcquisitionActive becomes “TRUE”

4) Images begin outputting continuously

5) AcquisitionStop command is sent

6) AcquisitionActive becomes “FALSE”. At this moment, the output stops.

However, if AcqusitionStop command is initiated during image output period, AcqusitionActive becomes “FALSE” (stop capturing) after image output is completed.

Note: This figure is if the trigger is set to ON, and when the trigger is OFF, FrameActive becomes True at the same timing of AcquisitionActive.

Fig.25 Continuous operation

◆ Forcing acquisition to stop

If AcquisitionStop is executed and the video is already output when the camera receives the stop command, AcquisitionACtive becomes False (disabling the capture) after the video output is completed.

Associated functions：AcquisitionStart、AcquisitionStop

7.1.2 Acquisition Start

This is the command to start the capture.

7.1.3 Acquisition Stop

This is the command to stop the capture.

7.1.4 Acquisition control

With Trigger OFF and in free-running mode, the default frame rate of the camera is based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is possible to specify a free-running frame rate that is slower than the default rate. This can be useful when a longer exposure time is needed for a specific ROI. Modification of the frame rate is done by entering a value in the AcquisitionFrameRate control corresponding to the frequency (Hz) of the frame capture. Allowed values range from the fastest frame rate supported by the specified ROI (default) to a maximum of 0.125 Hz (fps).

The setting range is:

Shortest

Longest

The reciprocal of the time

required to read out all pixels

in the area set by ROI or

The reciprocal of the time to

transmit one frame data

0.125 Hz (fps)

Note:

1. If the trigger is set to ON, this function is not available.

2. The value for setting is the frame frequency (Hz).

3. The minimum interval of a frame depends on reading out line numbers set by ROI. If the setting value is less than time required for the minimum period, this setting is ignored and camera operates at the minimum period.

Self-running (Trigger OFF) works under the following conditions. Exposure Mode: OFF Exposure Mode: Timed and Frame start OFF Exposure mode: Trigger width and Frame start OFF.

Note: 1) In the SP-20000-USB, the indicated horizontal pixel number is changed if H-Binning is used or

the number of width is reduced. However, the internal horizontal frequency is not changed and accordingly, the frame rate is not increased.

2) In the SP-20000-USB, if V-Binning is used, the height max is reduced to 1/2 but the horizontal frequency of 1 line is also reduced to 1/2. Accordingly, the frame rate is not increased.

3) At [Pixel Format] = 8-bit Monochrome, 1 pixel of Image data uses 1 Byte. At [Pixel Format] = 10/12-bit Monochrome, 1 pixel of image data uses 2 Bytes. In the SP-20000-USB, the frame rate is restricted to 1/2 when the data value is doubled if the pixel format is changed.

No exposure control (Self-running operation)

Timed

Exposure operation at the value set in Exposure Time. Setting value is usec unit.

・If Trigger Mode setting is OFF, the camera is in self-running operation. ・If Trigger Mode setting is ON, the exposure operation depends on the setting of

Trigger Option.

Trigger Width

The exposure is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger. ・Trigger Mode is forced to ON.

In the trigger operation, Exposure Mode must be set other than OFF and Trigger Mode of Frame Start must be ON. If Exposure Mode is set at Timed, the exposure operation can be selected as follows by setting Trigger Option

7.2.2 ExposureTime

This command is effective only when Exposure Mode is set to Timed. It is for setting exposure time. The setting step for exposure time is 1 μsec per step.

Minimum: 10 μsec (Note: Actual exposure time is 299µsec) Maximum: 8 seconds （When Frame Start Trigger Mode is ON）

Note: The actual exposure time is added 289µsec against the setting exposure value due to the

sensor characteristics. However, the exposure active signal to be output, is not the actual exposure time but the setting exposure value.

The sensor exposure time = Exposure + 289µs

Note:

In free-running mode with the Frame Start Trigger set to OFF, the maximum setting value of the exposure time is limited by the frame rate setting. Although 8 seconds is the maximum frame rate setting, the upper limit of the exposure time setting value is 7,999,750 µsec, which is 250 µsec shorter than the maximum. In EPS trigger operation, where Exposure Time is not influenced by the frame rate setting, the upper limit is 8 seconds. However, please note the following: For the sensor used in the SP-20000-USB, the black level tends to increase based on the exposure time and the temperature of the sensor. The SP-20000-USB compensates this black shift inside the camera but the following are the maximum ambient temperatures which guarantee the performance at 8 sec of exposure time. SP-20000M-USB: Up to 25ºC of ambient temperature SP-20000C-USB: Up to 15ºC of ambient temperature

7.2.3 Behavior if Trigger Overlap is set to Readout

In the SP-20000-USB, if the accumulation of the next frame starts while the current image is read out, the varied value of accumulation time is changed to 1 Line period inside the camera. This is done so that the accumulation start signal will not affect the output signal while it is overlapped.

However, the shutter noise at the exposure start period will appear on images. It is approximately

70LSB/10-bit as the maximum.

Note: The sensor used in the SP-20000-USB does not have a function of Shutter OFF.

If [Frame Start]-[Trigger Mode] is OFF or [Exposure Mode] is OFF, the camera operates

at the maximum exposure time based on the above formula.

7.2.3 ExposureAuto

This is a function to control the exposure automatically. It is effective only for Timed. ALC Reference controls the brightness.

There are three modes: OFF, Once and Continuous. OFF: No exposure control Once: Exposure adjusts when the function is set, then remains at that setting Continuous: Exposure continues to be adjusted automatically

In this mode, the following settings are available. ALC Speed: Rate of adjustment can be set (common with Gain Auto) ASC Max: The maximum value for the exposure time to be controlled can be set ASC Min: The minimum value for the exposure time to be controlled can be set ALC Reference: The reference level of the exposure control can be set (common with Gain Auto) ALC Channel area: The measurement area of the exposure control can be set

Note: (1) In order to explain the phase relationship of Frame Trigger Wait and Frame Active, the timing in this table reflects the

condition that the trigger input is not overlapped in the previous video readout.

(2) Figures in ( ) are the comparison between the exposure time inside camera and Exposure Active.

Frame Start -Trigger Mode =“On”, Exposure Mode =“Timed”, Trigger Overlap =“Readout”

Starting position of Frame Trigger Active at EPS Trigger / [Trigger Overlap] = “Readout” setting.

The starting position will vary until [Exposure Time] value exceeds ([FVAL]+[Exposure Active End Edge ~ FVAL Active Start Edge]-158).

[FVAL]+[Exposure Active End Edge ~ FVAL Active Start Edge] is a constant value. If [Exposure Time] is smaller than this constant value, the overlap period is shorter and if [Exposure Time] is larger than this constant value, the overlap period is longer.

7.7 PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)

The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images need to be taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as illumination. The first accumulation time is 10 sec to 33 msec. Then, the second exposure will be taken. The first strobe is activated during the first exposure duration and the second strobe is pulsed while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two strobe flashes generate two video outputs.

Basic settings to use this mode

7.8 Sequence ROI Trigger

7.8.1 Sequence ROI Trigger mode

This is a function to capture images in sequence based on preset ROI, Exposure Time, Gain and other parameters in the sequence index table.

Basic settings to use this mode Acquisition mode: Continuous Trigger selector: Frame Start Trigger mode: ON Exposure mode: Timed Video send mode selector: Trigger Sequence or Command Sequence

7.8.2 Video Send Mode

In the video send mode, ther are four modes which are Normal, Trigger Sequence, Command Sequence and Multi ROI. As for Multi ROI, please refer to 6.3.5 Multi ROI function. In order to execute Sequence ROI trigger, Sequence Trigger or Command Sequence should be selected in the video send mode.

7.8.3 Trigger Sequence

In this mode, while the previous trigger operation (Index table) is activating, the next trigger cannot be overlapped. Sequence index table must be through index 0 and after index 0 is performed, the next index can be operated.

Fig. 33 Behavior of Sequence Trigger

7.8.4 Command Sequence

In this mode, after the acquisition starts, the index table is executed by the external trigger in accordance with the Next Sequence Index Command. In this case, Sequence ROI Frame Count and Sequence ROI next index commands in the index table are ignored.

(6) Sequence ROI Gain Selector

In Sequence ROI Gain Selector, the gain settings for each index are available.

SP-20000C-USB: Gain (ALL), Red, and Blue can be set.

SP-20000M-USB: Only Gain is displayed and can be set.

(7) Sequence ROI Black Level

Black Level setting is available for each index.

(8) Sequence ROI Exposure Time

Exposure Time setting is available for each index.

(9) Sequence ROI Binning Horizontal

ON or OFF of Horizontal Binning for each index can be set.

(10) Sequence ROI Binning Vertical

ON or OFF of Vertical Binning for each index can be set.

(11) Sequence ROI LUT Enable

Enable or disable of LUT function for each index 0 to 9 can be set.

(12) Sequence ROI Frame Count

This can set how many times the seleted index is repeated. This is applied to each index. Triggers are input according to numbers set in Frame Count and index is repeated and moves to the next index. Therefore, the same number of triggers as Frame Count must be input.

(13) Sequence ROI Next Index

When Command Sequence is selected in the [Video Send Mode] selector, it is possible to

use this parameter to set the index which will execute after the currently executing index. In this case, after the acquisition starts and the external trigger is input, the index table always starts from index 0. Accordingly, after the repeated cycle of index 0 set by Frame Count is completed, the next index can be set as required. However, if Sequence ROI Next Index is set to OFF, the index is not changed and only the Sequence Repetition parameter is applied.

Fig.35 Sequence ROI trigger timing chart

(14) Sequence Repetition

If Trigger Sequence is selected, and if the Sequence ROI Next Index parameter for the Index Table is set to OFF, the value of Sequence Repetition becomes valid. The entire Index Table will then repeat as set in Sequence Repetition. After the acquisition sarts, the index table is executed from Index 0 by the external trigger. And when the Index Table is finished, the value of Sequence Repetition is decremented internally. In this case, if the result of the decrement is not “0”, the index table starts from Index 0 again. If the result of the decrement is 0, the status changes to Acquisition Stop and can not accept the external trigger. The following chart shows the flow chart.

(15) Next Sequence Index

If the [Video Send Mode] selector is set to “Command Sequence,” [Next Sequence Index] can be used. When the index is changed in the [Next Sequence Index］selector, the [Next Sequence Index] command value can be transmitted to the camera manually as a GenICam setting.

The index sent by the [Next Sequence Index] command is the index that will be executed when the next trigger is input.

Please note that if [Video Send Mode] selector is set to Command Sequence, [Sequence ROI Frame Count] and [Sequence ROI Next Index] in the index table are disabled and ignored.

If the [Video Send Mode Selector] is set to Command Sequence and if the trigger is input even though [Next Sequence Index] command is not transmitted after the acquisition starts, Index 0 is executed.

If an index transmitted by [Next Sequence Index] command is executed as the result of trigger input,

and if a subsequent trigger is input with no new [Next Sequence Index] command transmitted, the same index is excuted again.

7.9. Acqusition Transfer Start Trigger

The acquisition transfer start trigger is a JAI Custom function which controls the readout of the captured image from the memory inside the camera by the external trigger input. This function is enabled by setting Trigger Mode ON in Frame Start or Acquisition Start. Then Trigger Mode in Acquisition Transfer Start is set to ON. Now the image stored in the memory can be read out by the trigger signal input through Trigger Source. In the SP-20000-USB, 4 frames can be stored and read out.

The examples in next two pages use the setting of “[Frame Start] –[Trigger Mode]=ON“.

Settings for examples

[Acquisition Mode]=“Continuous” [Frame Start] -[Trigger Mode]=“On”

-[Trigger Overlap]=“Off” [Exposure Mode]=“Timed” [Acquisition Transfer Start]-[Trigger Mode]=“On”

In the case of “[Acquisition Start]-[Trigger Mode]= ON” and “ [Acquisition Mode]=“Single Frame””,the behavior is similar to the above. In the case of “[Acquisition Start]-[Trigger Mode]= ON” and “[Acquisition Mode]= Except “Single Frame”, please note that in the SP-20000-USB has the memory for 4 frames.

8. Other functions

8.1 Black level control

This function adjusts the setup level.

Variable range: -256 to +2553LSB (at 10-bit output)

8.1.1 Black Level Selector

The following items can be adjusted.

Monochrome: Black Level All

Color: Black Level All/ Black Level Red/ Black Level Blue

8.1.2 Black Level

The black level can be adjusted in the following range.

Monochrome: Black Level All : -256 ～+255

Color: Black Level All : -256 ～+255

Black Level Red: -128 ～+127

8.1.3 Auto black control

The auto black control function is used to automatically adjust the black level of the sensor, which may vary due to temperature changes and/or the exposure time. It can adjust up to 30% of the video output level.

It has three modes which have different compensation values and the user can choose an appropriate mode depending on the application. As the dynamic range of the sensor depends on the compensation value of the black level, for best results it is recommended that the camera be used under low temperature conditions, i.e., less than 30°C and with exposure times of less than 1 frame, in order to maintain an appropriate dynamic range.

Auto: The compensation value can be automatically varied up to 30%. In this mode, the dynamic range is the smallest.

Limit: In this mode, the limit of the black level compensation value can be set in the range of 0% to 30% by 1% steps. If the camera is used in an environment with little temperature change or short exposure time, this mode can automatically provide an appropriate balance between black level compensation and dynamic range by setting the upper limit of the black level compensation.

Fix: In this mode, the camera automatically saves the temperature and the status of the exposure time just before this mode is set. Then, it sets the appropriate black level compensation value and the maximum dynamic range in accordance with the saved conditions. After this automatic adjustment, the compensation value, which is indicated by percentage, can be read out. In this mode, the black level compensation value is fixed. It is recommended to use this mode if the temperature and exposure time are stable. If the black level varies due to temperature change and/or exposure time variation, it is necessary to set this mode again in order to learn the new environmental conditions. If the environmental conditions are expected to be varied, it is recommended to use Auto

or Limit mode.

8.2 Gain control

The SP-20000M-USB can adjust the master gain level (DigitalGainAll) from x1 (0dB) to 16 times (+24dB) using x1 (0dB) as the reference (Factory default). In the SP-20000C-USB, the master gain level (DigitalGainAll) can be adjusted from x1 (0dB) to 16 times (+24dB) and R and B gains can be adjusted in the range of 0.45 times (-7dB) to 3.16 times (+ 10dB) using the master gain as the reference.

Resolution: Master Gain: x0.01 /Step

Blue/Red Gain: x0.00017 /Step

In the SP-20000-USB, the digital gain is entirely used for adjusting the gain. Therefore, if a high gain setting is used, breaks in the histogram may occur.

In the SP-20000C-USB, the color temperature adjusting range is specified in order to maintain the maximum dynamic range which the sensor has. Therefore, if the white balance is adjusted out of the specified color temperature adjusting range and if the gain setting is less than the following conditions, the sensor output may clip before it is saturated.

The guideline of settings at which the sensor output is clipped At Gain 0 dB : -2995 (approx. x0.6)

8.3. LUT

This function can be used to convert the input to the desired output characteristics. The Look-Up Table (LUT) has 256 points for setup. The output level can be created by multiplying the gain data by the input level.

8.3.1 LUT Mode

Can be set to OFF, gamma (see section 8.4), or Lookup Table.

8.3.2 LUT Index

This represents the “starting” or “input” pixel value to be modified by the Lookup Table. The SP-20000-USB has a 256-point Lookup Table, meaning the index points are treated like an 8-bit image with 0 representing a full black pixel and 255 representing a full white pixel. The index points are automatically scaled to fit the internal pixel format of the camera. This is common for all output configurations.

8.3.3 LUT Value

This is the “adjusted” or “output” pixel value for a given LUT index. It has a range of 0 to 4095 (12-bit) and is automatically scaled to the bit depth of the current operating mode (8-bit or 10-bit). Note: linear interpolation is used if needed to calculate LUT values between index points. In the color mode, the LUT function works individually for each color, R,G and B.

8.5 Shading Correction

This function compensates for shading (non-uniformity) caused by the lens or the light source used. This compensation can be performed even if shading issues are not symmetrical in horizontal and/or vertical directions.

There are two methods of correction.

Flat shading correction:

The method to compensate the shading is to measure the highest luminance level in the image and use that data as the reference. Luminance levels of other areas are then adjusted so that the level of the entire area is equal. Compensation is performed using a grid of 20 blocks (H) x 15 blocks (V). Each block has 256 pixels x 256 pixels. The complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.

Color shading correction (For SP-20000C-USB only):

In this case, R channel and B channel are adjusted to match with G channel characteristics. The block grid for compensation is 20 blocks (H) x 15 blocks (V) and each block contains 256 x 256 pixels. The complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.

8.6 Blemish compensation

The SP-20000-USB has a blemish compensation circuit. This function compensates blemishes on the CMOS sensor (typically pixels with extremely high response or extremely low response). This applies to both monochrome and color versions. Pixels that fulfill the blemish criteria can be compensated by averaging the data from pixels in both adjacent columns and, in the case of the SP-20000C-USB, the defective pixels can be compensated by averaging the data from the same Bayer color pixels in adjacent columns. The number of pixels that can be compensated is up to 1000 pixels.
