Introduction
GigE Vision is the new standard interface using Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications
and it was mainly set up by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE Vision is
capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an inexpensive
general purpose LAN cable for a long distance.
GigE Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is mainly set up 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 manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.
For details about the GigE Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site,
www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.

Camera Operation
1. General
This manual covers the digital 2-CCD progressive scan multi-spectral camera AD-130GE.
The AD-130GE is a GigE Vision compliant camera, belonging to the JAI C3 Advanced family. The
AD-130GE employs 2 CCDs, one for Bayer color and the other for NIR monochrome utilizing
prism optics so that the AD-130GE can inspect the objects by visible color sensor and Near IR
sensor with the same angle of view.
The AD-130GE provides a frame rate of 31 frames/second at full resolution. Using partial scan,
the camera can achieve faster frame rates up to 145 fps (8 lines height).
The 1/3" CCDs with square pixels offer a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of
fast moving objects.
The camera features a built-in pre-processing function which includes blemish compensation,
shading compensation, Bayer to RGB interpolation, LUT/gamma correction and knee control.
The AD-130GE also complies with the GenICam standard and contains an internal XML file that
is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about the
GigE Vision Standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICam, please
go to www.genicam.org.
As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit). This
SDK includes GigE Vision Filter Driver, JAI Control tool, software documentation and code
examples.
The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com.

*1) : AD-130GE is based on a Dichroic Prism. For optimal performance, lenses designed for
3CCD cameras should be used with this camera. Be sure to avoid lenses that contain IR filters
as this will impair the operation of the NIR sensor. Rear protrusion of the C-mount lens must
be less than 4mm to avoid damage to the prism.
*2) : When an RJ-45 cable with thumbscrews is connected to the camera, please do not excessively
tighten screws by using a screw driver. The RJ-45 receptacle on the camera might be
damaged. For security, the strength to tighten screws is less than 0.147 Newton meter (Nm).
Tightening by hand is sufficient in order to achieve this.

6. System Configuration
6.1. System connection
When the AD-130GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods.
Method one is to use dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate network
interface cards. The other way is to use a hub as shown below.
Fig.6 System configuration
It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet.
When JAI SDK control tool is started, AD-130GE is recognized as two cameras. #0 represents the
Bayer color imager and #1 represents the NIR imager.
Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.
Two image sensors can be operated either in SYNC mode or ASYNC mode.
This can be set by the ―Sync mode command‖.
6.2. RJ-45 outputs
The AD-130GE has two RJ-45 connectors, one for color sensor output and the other for the
monochrome NIR sensor. The output for the color sensor is through GigE-1 and monochrome NIR
output is through GigE-2. These two outputs can be set at synchronous (SYNC) or asynchronous
(ASYNC) in Sync Mode feature.

6.4. Lens considerations
The AD-130GE is based on a dichroic prism, allowing precise separation of the visible (color)
and near-infrared parts of the spectrum.
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-130GE.
These lenses have minimal chromatic
aberration, thus allowing both the visible
and near-IR images to be in focus. Be
sure to select a lens that does not have
any built-in IR filtering as this will disrupt
the proper operation of the near-IR
image channel.

7. Inputs and outputs interface
7.1. 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.
Fig. 9 Cross point switch
7.1.1 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.
7.1.2 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-130GE are 51.324 MHz, the output frequency is varied from 51.324
MHz to 12.53 KHz.
7.1.3 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.
7.2. 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.

7.3. Input and output circuits
In the following schematic diagrams the input and output circuits for video and timing signals
are shown.
7.3.1 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.

7.3.1.1 Iris Video input and output
The lens-iris video output level at pin 4 of the 12-pin
Hirose connector is 700 mV for 100% video output level. The
iris video signal is taken after the gain circuit. However,
negative compensation is applied to the iris circuit, thus the
gain setting has no influence for controlling auto iris
lenses. It is without sync.

7.3.1.2 Iris video output select
As the factory default setting, the signal from AD-130GE #0(color) is used for iris control. The
setting can be changed in the following screen. This screen is effective if AD-130GE#0 is
selected.
7.3.2 Trigger input
An external trigger input can be applied to
pin 3 and 5 of 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.

7.3.3 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.

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.
Line Selector
Line Source
7.5.2 Pulse generators (20 bit x 4)
There are 4 pulse generators (designated 0 through 1) that can be used to create various timing
scenarios by programming start point, endpoint, length and repeats.
Fig.18 Pulse waveform
Example of the setting
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.
AD-130GE
24
Thus, pulse generator 0 creates a 4 ms pulse.
The following shows JAI SDK Camera Control Tool for setting Pulse Generators.
7.5.3 GPIO interface in GenICam standard
Outputs from Cross Point Switch are displayed in 3 sectors in GenICam standard.
Inputs to Cross Point Switch are displayed as Source in each sector.
(1) [Acquisition Control] - [Trigger Selector] - [Trigger Source]
：Select the trigger source for Frame Start and Transfer Start Trigger
(2) [Digital IO Control] - [Line Selector] - [Line Source]
：Select signal inputs and outputs for camera I/F
(3) [Pulse Generators] - [Pulse Generator Selector] - [Pulse Generator Clear Source]
: Select the signal source for CLEAR input to Pulse Generator
7.5.4 Change polarity
The polarity of AD-130GE is positive as the default setting.
This can be changed in each sector as follows.
(1) [Acquisition Control] - [Trigger Selector] - [Trigger Activation] and
[Trigger Source Inverter]
In the AD-130GE, [Trigger Activation] and [Trigger Source Inverter] are changed
simultaneously.

[Trigger Activation] =―Rising Edge‖& [Trigger Source Inverter] =―False‖ settings are
default.
The default setting can be changed to [Trigger Activation] =―Falling Edge‖& [Trigger
Source Inverter] = ―True‖.
If ―Rising Edge‖ is set, the rising edge is effective input.
If ―Falling Edge‖ is set, the falling edge is effective.
(2) [Digital IO Control] - [Line Selector] - [Line Inverter]
―False‖is default setting. This can be changed to ―True‖.
If ―False‖ is set, the signal selected in Line Source (Line Mode=Output) is directly
connected to Line Selector.
If ―True‖ is set, the signal selected in Line Source (Line Mode=Output) is connected to
Line Selector after its polarity is reversed.
。
(3) [Pulse Generators] - [Pulse Generator Selector] - [Pulse Generator Inverter(Polarity)]
―False‖ is deafault and can be changed to ―True‖.
If ―False‖ is set, the signal selected in Pulse Generator Clear Source is directly
connected to Pulse Generator Selector.
If ―True‖ is set, the signal selected in Pulse Generator Clear Source is connected to
Pulse Generator Selector after its polarity is reversed.
7.5.5 The restrictions to use TTL In I/F in the AD-130GE
If the polarity of TTL I/F in the AD-130GE is changed, the initialization is executed in the
camera.
If the source for the same selector item of Camera 0 and Camera 1 is assigned TTL In1 and TTL
In2 respectively, the initialization is executed without any problem.
However, if the source for the same selector item of Camera 0 and Camera 1 is assigned the
same TTL In and the polarity is changed, there is some restriction as the initialization is
executed using the Camera 0 polarity setting as the reference.
It is recommended to use a different sources for Camera 0 and Camera1.

Fig. 19． Restriction by polarity setting
7.5.6 Caution when the software trigger is used
The AD-130GE has the following restriction when using the software trigger.
1) The input port of GPIO, Camera 0 and Camera 1 have software trigger 0 to 3, respectively.
However, the output port of GPIO has only one software trigger 0 to 3.
Therefore, the function is described in the figure 21.
It is recommended to use a different software trigger for Camera 0 and Camera 1.
