6. Input and output circuits
In the following schematic diagrams the input and output circuits for video and timing signals
are shown.
6.1. Iris Video output
This signal can be used for lens iris control in Continuous
mode. The signal is taken from the CCD sensor output
through the process circuit but as the reverse
compensation is applied, the signal is not influenced by
the gain settings. The video output is without sync. The
signal is 0.7 V p-p from 75 without termination.
This signal is taken from sensor 1 but it can be changed
by the register. In order to get this signal, DIP switch
DSW700 should be changed. Refer to 5.4.3.
Fig.5 Iris video output
6.2. Trigger input
An external trigger input can be applied to
pins 3 and 5 of the 6-pin Hirose connector.
The input is AC coupled. To allow long pulses
the input circuit is designed as a flip-flop
circuit. The leading and trailing edges of the
trigger pulse activate the circuit.
The trigger polarity can be changed.
Trigger input level 4 V 2 V.
6.3. EEN (Exposure Enable) output
XEEN is available on pin 4 of the 6-pin Hirose
connector.
The output can be selected as either open
collector or TTL level.
The TTL output circuit is 75 complementary
emitter followers. It will deliver a full 5 volt
signal.
Output level 4 V from 75. (No termination).
For the open collector, the maximum current is
120mA. But if current of more than 50mA is used,
use thicker cable. The use of thinner cable may
cause a malfunction due to its resistance.

7. System Configuration
7.1. System connection
When the AD-081GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods.
Method one is to use a dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate
network interface cards. The other way is to use a hub. Refer to the following drawings.
Fig.8 System configuration
It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet.
When JAI SDK control tool is executed, AD-081GE is recognized as like two cameras. #0
represents one of the imagers and #1 represents the other.
Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.
7.2. Lens considerations
The AD-081GE has a built-in a beam-splitter prism which separates transmitted and reflected
light across the 400nm to 650nm visible wavelength range. 50% of the incoming light is
reflected and goes to the BW2 sensor while the remaining 50% transmitted light goes to the
BW1 sensor. Thanks to the compact design of the prism, C-mount lenses can be used with this
camera. For optimal performance it is strongly advised to use lenses designed for 3CCD
cameras with the AD-081GE.

8. GPIO (Inputs and outputs)
8.1. Overview
All input and output signals pass through the GPIO (General Purpose Input and Output) module.
The GPIO module consists of a Look-Up Table (LUT – Cross-Point Switch), 2 Pulse Generators
and a 12-bit counter. In the LUT, the relationship between inputs, counters and outputs is
governed by internal register set-up.
Some of the descriptions in this diagram differ from those displayed in the camera control tool.
The following table shows display names and descriptions.
On the above block diagram, Trigger 0 is used for Exposure and Trigger 1 is used for Delayed
Readout. The Time Stamp Reset can reset the time stamp compliant with the GigE Vision
standard. This is used for ensuring the same time stamp if multiple cameras are used.
The blocks shown in the above diagram have the following functionalities:
13
AD-081GE
8.1.1 LUT (Cross Point Switch)
The LUT works as a cross-point switch which allows connecting inputs and outputs freely. The
signals LVAL_IN, DVAL_IN, FVAL_IN and EEN_IN all originate from the camera timing circuit.
On this diagram, Trigger 0 is used for exposure and Trigger 1 is used for Delayed Readout. The
Time Stamp Reset signal can reset the time stamp specified in GigE Vision Format. This signal
can be used when time stamps from several cameras connected are coincident with each other.
The “Sequence reset” resets the sequential settings. Outputs from the LUT described on the
right side show GPIO settings for LINE SELECTOR in the JAI Camera Control tool and inputs to
the LUT on the left side show GPIO settings for LINE SOURCE in the JAI Camera Control tool.
Refer to Chapter 8.2 GPIO inputs/Outputs table.
8.1.2 12-bit Counter
A camera pixel clock can be used as a source. The counter has a “Divide by N”, where N has the
range 1 through 4096, allowing a wide range of clock frequencies to be programmed. Setting
value 0 is bypass, setting value 1 is 1/2 dividing, and setting value 4095 is 1/4096 dividing. As
the pixel clocks for the AD-081GE are 33.75 MHz, the output frequency is varied from 33.75MHz
to 23.768 KHz.
8.1.3 Pulse Generators (0 to 3)
Each pulse generator consists of a 20-bit counter. The behavior of these signals is defined by
their pulse width, start point and end point.
The pulse generator signals can be set in either triggered or periodic mode.
In triggered mode, the pulse is triggered by the rising edge/falling edge/high level or low level
of the input signal. In periodic mode, the trigger continuously generates a signal that is based
on the configured pulse width, starting point and end point.
Each pulse generator operates at the frequency created in the 12-bit counter. As the pixel
clock (33.75 MHz) is used as the main frequency, the frequency of pulse generator is 33.75 MHz
to 8.24 KHz.
8.1.4 Opto-isolated Inputs/Outputs
The control interface of the C3 GigE Vision camera series has 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.

GPIO is used to determine which signal is assigned which terminal. For the details, please refer
to Register Map, Digital I/O, Acquisition and Trigger Control, and Pulse Generator.
Repeat counter: 0 to 255
=0: Continuously repeated
8.3.3 Pulse generators (20 bit x 4)
There are 4 pulse generators (designated 0 through 3) that can be used to create various timing
scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.
The following drawing is an example of settings.
FVAL is used for the input of a pulse generator 0 and the clock, after the rising edge of FVAL,
counts 100 clocks for the high period of the pulse and 102 clocks for the pulse length.
As 2400 is for Clock Pre-scaler, the output of the 12 bit counter is 25 KHz, which is 40µs.
Thus, pulse generator 0 creates a 4 ms pulse.

9. GigE Vision® Streaming Protocol (GVSP)
9.1. Digital Video Output (Bit Allocation)
Although the AD-081GE is a digital camera, the image is generated by an analog component,
the CCD sensor.
The table and diagram below show the relationship between the analog CCD output level and
the digital output.
The standard setting for 10-bit video level is 890 LSB. A 200 mV CCD output level equals 100%
video output.
Fig. 16 Digital Output (10 bit output)
9.2. Bit Allocation (Pixel Format / Pixel Type)
In the GigE Vision Interface, GVSP (GigE Vision Streaming Protocol) is used for an application
layer protocol relying on the UDP transport layer protocol. It allows an application to receive
image data, image information and other information from a device.
In the AD-081GE, the following pixel types supported by GVSP are available.
With regard to the details of GVSP, please refer to the GigE Vision Specification available from

10. Functions and Operations
10.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface
The AD-081GE is designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. Digital images are
transmitted over Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All camera functions are also controlled via
the GigE Vision interface.
The camera can operate in Continuous mode, providing an endless stream of images. For
capturing individual images related to a specific event, the camera can also be triggered. For
precise triggering, it is recommended to use a hardware trigger applied to the Hirose 12-pin
connector or 6-pin connector. It is also possible to initiate a software trigger through the GigE
Vision interface. However, when using a software trigger, certain latency inherent to the GigE
interface must be expected. This latency, which manifests itself as jitter, greatly depends on
the general conditions and traffic on the GigE connection. The frame rate described in this
manual is for the ideal case and may deteriorate depending on conditions.
When using multiple cameras (going through a switch and/or a single path) or when operating
