3 About GigE Vision Ver2.0

EL-2800-GE2 complies with the Latest GigE Vision version 2.0. 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.

As a new extension of standards, GigE Vision Ver.2.0 employs Link Aggregation which combines two
independent ports and identifies these as one port, making much higher transfer rates possible; PTP
(IEE1588) which provides more precise time management; and Manifest which enables either GigE
Vision Ver.1.X or Ver.2.0 on demand. EL-2800-GE2 complies with those extensions. For the details,
please refer to Chapter 5.1.

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.

4 Recommended PC to be used

The PC used should have the following performance or better

1) Recommended CPU : Core i3 or better,

2) Recommended memory: DDR3, 4GB fully equipped (Windows 7 32-bit)
DDR3, 8GB fully equipped (Windows 7 64-bit)

3) Graphics card : Should apply with PCI Express Generation 3.0 or better

4) NIC : Use Intel NIC
PCI-Express Bus to install Intel NIC should be better than Generation 2.0.
Generation 1.0 cannot be used.

5) Other: If the picture is always displayed on the monitor, it is not recommended to use
the CPU in the PC.

5 About the network card to be used

SP-5000-GE2 complies with Link Aggregation which handles two ports as one port. To make the best
use of this function, the network card used should comply with 1000BASE-T as well as Link
Aggregation. It also complies with Jumbo Frame. If Jumbo Frame is set to a large value, the PC
processing load can be reduced. The packet overhead is also reduced and as the result, the
bandwidth of the communication line has more room.

6 Cables to be used

GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T.
In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6 (250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for
1000BASE-T. There are crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most
equipment complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover
cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).

7 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.

Camera Operation Manual

1. General

The EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2 are new cameras in JAI’s Elite Series. They provide high
picture quality, such as high sensitivity and low noise, suitable for machine vision applications. The
EL-2800M-GE2 is a monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the EL-2800C-GE2 is the
equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both are equipped with a 2/3 inch CCD
sensor offering 2.83 million pixels resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. They provide 54.6 frames per
second for continuous scanning with 1920 x 1440 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw
Bayer output.

8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and Bayer outputs. The
EL-2800C-GE2 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation to produce 24-bit (8-bit
per color) RGB output at 27.7fps in 2-port LAG. The EL-2800C-GE2 also provides YUV411, YUV422
or YUV444. The new cameras feature a GigEVision ver. 2.0 interface which supports the use of a
2-port configuration for a faster transfer rate. A full pixel readout, partial scan readout, or binning
mode (monochrome only) can be selected depending on the application.

EL-2800M-GE2 and EL-2800C-GE2 have 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, shading compensation, and
blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and
video level control.

As a common Elite Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. EL-2800M-GE2 and
EL-2800C-GE2 support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities. Factory
options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems as well as provide a
video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.

5. Input and output

5.1 GigE Interface

5.1.1 GigE Vision 2.0 Extension functions

EL-2800-GE2 complies with GigE Vision 2.0. Its extension functions are described below.

5.1.1.1 Link Aggregation

By handling two ports as one port, the maximum transfer rate can be achieved at 2 Gbps.
This function is based on IEEE802.3ad, IEEE802.1AX Link Aggregation and GigE Vision 2.0.

Table 2. Link Aggregation Specifications

Link Aggregation

system

sLAG(Static Link
Aggregation Group) and
dLAG(Dynamic Link
Aggregation Group)

When dLAG is selected, LACP selects
automatically.
When sLAG is selected, if HW conditions are not

satisfied, SL (Single Link) is activated.

Load distribution

system

Round-robin processing
GVSP Ether Frame is output from Port 0 or Port
1 alternatively.

When the first packet (Leader packet : Leader

frame) of the video frame is output, the
output port is reset to 0.

Physical Network

Number

2 Ports
Port 0 and Port 1 are enabled.

In Single Link (SL), either Port 0 or Port 1 is
used.

MAC Address

Number

1

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, MAC

Address is one. Port 0 and Port 1 use the same
MAC Address．（Note 1）

IP Address

Number

1

As only SL, sLAG and dLAG are supported, IP
Address is one. Port 0 and Port 1 use the same
IP Address．（Note 1）

GVCP Port

GVCP returns ACK to the port which receive the
command.

Stream Channel

Number

1 Channel

When SL is used, one stream is output from
either Port0 or Port1 which is linked up.
When sLAG or dLAG is used, one stream is
output in load-balanced from Port 0 and Port1.

SL/sLAG

Selecting

Method

Selected by the status of
Port Link UP

If only 1 port is linked up, it is SL.

If sLAG is enabled, and if Port 0 and Port 1 are
linked up, the status is changed to sLAG.

If dLAG is enabled, and if Port 0 and Port 1 are
linked up, the status is set to dLAG by LACP or
is reverted to SL.

Event Message

GEV_EVENT_LINK_SPEED_C
HANGE

If a change of SL to or from LAG occurs,
GEV_EVENT_SPEED_CHANGE Event Message can
be issued.

Note 1: In Link Aggregation operation, two ports use the same MAC Address and IP Address.

Accordingly, if these two ports are connected to only one non-compliant IEEE802.3ad
or IEEE802.1AX switch, the function is not properly executed. If non-compliant
IEEE802.3ador IEEE802.1AX switch is used, 2 sets should be used and connected to
each port.

While PTP synchronizing operation, Timestamp Reset function is
disabled and if the reset is required, GEV_STATUS_WRITE_PROTECT
status code is returned.

Note1: If there is IEEE 1588 master clock in the network, the camera time stamp is

synchronized at the master clock.
If there is no IEEE1588 master clock in the network, the camera time stamp
operates by the free running of the internal clock at starting on the power being ON.

Note2: In GenICam standard, 64-bit integer is handled as signed value, thus only 63 bits are

available through GenICam interface.

Note3: As 1GHz clock is not actually operated, the time stamp is incremented by 8

(1GHz/125MHz) on every 1 clock of actual frequency.
