4. Basic Operation and Features
The Amazon Series employs a progressive scan CCD sensor which provides features according to each model.
Basic functions and features are similar while each camera has its own specific function support. The Amazon Series
fully supports the GigE Vision Standard with regard to registers, video format, mode of operation and control.
4.1. Brightness
Brightness of the camera can be controlled by changing the black level in the camera. The user can determine the
setting of the camera and control it using the status control register. Adjust the brightness if the appropriate
gradation cannot be obtained due to blurring of the black portions of the image. The parameters of Brightness are
changed inside the camera. For brightness, the parameters are shifted by the black level.

4.9.5. Trigger Mode 0
The camera starts the integration of the incoming light from the external trigger input falling edge. Integration
time is described in the “Shutter" register. No parameter is needed. A Trigger delay is applied to mode 0 for H/W
trigger. The Trigger in mode 0 is supported by both a H/W trigger and a S/W trigger.

4.9.6. Trigger Mode 1
The camera starts integration of the incoming light from the external trigger input falling edge. Integration time is
equal to the low state time of the external trigger input. No parameter is needed.
4.9.7. Trigger Mode 2
The camera starts integration of incoming light from the first external trigger input falling edge. At the N-th
(parameter) external trigger input falling edge, integration will be stopped. A Parameter is required and shall be
two or more. (N >= 2)
4.9.8. Trigger Mode 4
This mode is “multiple shutter preset mode”. The camera starts integration of the incoming light from the first
external trigger input falling edge and exposes the incoming light at shutter time. It repeats this sequence for the
N-th (parameter) external trigger input falling edge; and then finishes integration. A parameter is required and shall
be one or more. (N >= 1)
Page 50 AMAZON SERIES Operation Manual
Pi o n e e r i n D i g i t a l V i s i on T e c h n o l o g y
4.9.9. Trigger Mode 5
This mode is “multiple shutter pulse width mode”. The camera starts the integration of the incoming light from the
first external trigger input falling edge and exposes incoming light until the trigger is inactive. It repeats this
sequence for the ‘N’th (parameter) external trigger input falling edge and then finishes the integration. A
Parameter is required and shall be one or more. (N >= 1)
4.9.10. Trigger Mode 12
The user can capture the multi frame rates with one trigger signal. The users can control the Gain and Shutter by
the Parameter Table which has a range from 1 to 255. Mode 12 is supported by both a H/W trigger and a S/W
trigger.
AMAZON SERIES Operation Manual Page 51
Pi o n e e r i n D i g i t a l V i s i on T e c h n o l o g y
4.9.11. Trigger Mode 13
The user can capture the multi frame rates with one trigger signal. Users can control the Gain and Shutter by
the Parameter Table which has a range from 1 to 255. However, we recommend that the trigger mode 12 be
used. Trigger mode 13 has approximately a 2.5msec delay time; so it is not recommended. Mode 13 is
supported by both a H/W trigger and a S/W trigger.
4.9.12. Trigger Mode 15
Trigger mode 15 provides the new functions where the user may capture as many images as they want with a
single external trigger signal. This mode is called ‘One-trigger multi-frames’. For this Mode 15, the value of the
shutter time should be fixed. Mode 15 is supported by both a H/W trigger and a S/W trigger.

4.11.2. Color (Bayer) Patterns Conversions
Color sensors capture images through an optical low pass filter which is coated over the individual pixels in Bayer
mosaic layout. Imaged data is transferred to the PC for color processing of the Bayer Pattern; which saves
bandwidth and achieves higher frame rate and flexibility. Images can be processed in the computer by any of the
following four different conversion algorithms.

5. Advanced Features
5.1. Binning Mode
Binning is defined as reading neighboring pixel from the CCD and combining them to create one pixel value.
Binning has an advantage in the following situations as well as in various applications. Relative binning mode per
camera model is described in each camera specification.
Low Light Operation: Combining neighboring pixels increases the area of the unit pixel receiving light
and may obtain a brighter picture in low light conditions with a possible noise reduction.
High Frame Rate Operation: Vertical Binning accelerates the speed of the CCD data transfer rate by
combining multiple vertical line per single horizontal line of the CCD; resulting in a significant gain in
frame rate
5.1.1. Full Binning
Full binning mode can be obtained by combining both vertical and horizontal binning. First horizontal pixels are
combined; followed by a vertical conjunction of these pixels. This would increase light sensitivity by a factor of 4 in
case of 2 x 2 (Horizontal x Vertical) binning. However as described above, only vertical binning would result in a
speed gain while horizontal binning gives no speed gain. Thus the speed gain result is similar to vertical binning.
Resolution in this mode would be reduced both horizontally and vertically.
5.2. Partial Scan
Cameras provide a certain resolution which is dictated by the image sensor. Often, a certain region may be of
interest to the user. Partial scan mode provides the function to capture a certain region of interest (ROI) which can
provide an advantage in data transfer speed, resulting in a faster operation. As described in binning mode, the
speed gain would occur only if vertical resolution decreases. Partial scan is only supported by setting the following
registers. Unit size of the partial scan is described in the camera specification, which the user must consider in
setting the increment configuration.

5.3. One-Shot and Multi-Shot
This camera supports One-Shot and Multi-Shot features. The camera should be in ISO disabled mode before the
execution of these commands. If the camera is in ISO enabled mode, these commands are ignored.
One-Shot is used to grab only one frame. Multi-Shot is used to grab 1~65,535 frames.
Caution : One-Shot and Multi-Shots are not supported in trigger mode
nnn is the number of output frames which can be any number between 0001h ~ FFFFh.(1~ 65,535)
Priority of the command execution is as follows. Continuous > One-Shot > Multi-Shot.
When a command with higher priority is being executed; the command with lower priority will be ignored
5.4. Time Stamp Register.
Time Stamp register is defined in GigE Vision specification as a standard register. Please refer to the Gigi E vision
specification V1.0 for details.
The details and register settings are found in address 0x0944 ~0x94C.

5.5. Serial Interface
The Amazon series cameras are equipped with the SIO (Serial input/output). By using the serial interface, the
user can execute commands by writing data in a specific address in the GigE Vision address range. SIO can be
further used as RS232 interface which supports the IMI tech commands.
Please note that “SIO Pass Through” is disabled by default. To enable “SIO Pass Through” please refer to section

5.6. LUT (Lookup table)
The Amazon series supports an LUT, which provides the user with an image comprised of the user’s defined
dynamic range. Through the LUT, the user can process the images from saturation to dark. The LUT can be used
optionally with Brightness, Sharpness and Gamma. However, the LUT is applied prior to the features like
Brightness, Sharpness and Gamma.
(Priority: LUT >Brightness, Sharpness and Gamma)

The user defined LUT save procedure is as follows:
1. Check the save ready bit (bit1) status of the LUT save control register (0xF2F10140). If bit 1 is 0, wait.
2. Write 1 at the LUT buffer address init bit (bit7) of the LUT save
control register (0xF2F10140): 0xF2F10140 (<= 0x01000000).
3. Then write 4096 LUT data at the LUT data register (0xF2F10144).
4. Finally, write save command (bit0), LUT index (N: bit8~bit11) at the LUT save control
The user can get the interested area image by controlling the AE X-axis value and the AE Y-axis value for the
specific area of any image that they want.

This is to average the value of snow noise per pixel by using the neighboring pixel values. The operation scheme
is as follows: If ((Pi-Pi-1) > Threshold*16) and ((Pi-Pi+1) > (Threshold*16)), Pi is a bad pixel. Color cameras
have no bad pixel remove function. This function is to increase the average values for the whole image and be
