FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occu r
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Before using this camera
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
Frame grabber board
The SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL comply with “Power over Camera Link” which enables power to
be supplied to the camera through the Camera Link cable(s). Because the power requirements of the
camera exceed the amount of power which can be provided over a single PoCL connection, power must
be supplied via both Camera Link cables in order to utilize the PoCL capabilities. If you plan to use this
function, please be sure that the frame grabber board you are using also complies with this specification.
Alternatively, the camera can be powered via a separate power supply connected to the 12-pin Hirose
connector.
The SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL employ output formats which comply with the GenICam
standard. They are 1X10–1Y (10-Tap output), 1X8-1Y (8-Tap output), 1X4–1Y (4-Tap output) and 1X2–1Y
(2-Tap output). 1X10–1Y is available for 8-bit output, 1X8–1Y is available for 8-bit and 10-bit output,
and 1X4-1Y and 1X2–1Y are available for 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit output. Please check if the frame
grabber used in the system complies with the mentioned formats.
Ⓡ
Camera control tool
The SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL are designed to use the JAI SDK and Control Tool software to
control camera functions. All controllable functions are stored in the camera’s XML file. The JAI SDK can
be downloaded from www.jai.com .
A camera control tool for using the Short ASCII command protocol is not available on the JAI website.
Please contact your local JAI representative if this is required.

1. General
The SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL are among the first new “Spark Series” cameras to be
introduced. They provide both high resolution and a high frame rate with excellent image quality for
machine vision applications. The SP-5000M-PMCL is a monochrome progressive scan COMS camera and
the SP-5000C-PMCL is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped
with CMOS sensors offering a 1-inch image format, a resolution of 5 million pixels, and a 5:4 aspect ratio.
They provide a maximum of 134 frames per second for continuous scanning with 2560 x 2048 full pixel
resolution in 1x10–1Y output format.
8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The new
cameras feature a Mini Camera Link interface supporting a “Power over Camera Link” capability. A full
pixel readout or partial scan readout mode can be selected depending on applications. The readout
format is available for 10-tap, 8-tap, 4-tap or 2-tap output.
The SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL 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, flat field shading compensation and
blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video
level control.

1. In this table, not all tap geometry items are described. For instance, 1X4–1Y shows only 12-bit.
In case of 10-bit, upper 2 bits (D10 and D11) are not used and in case of 8-bit, upper 4 bits
(D8 through D11) are not used.
2. Please check whether the frame grabber complies with those formats if you use 80-bit (8-tap/10-bit)
camera configuration.
3. If you use 80-bit (8-tap/10-bit) camera configuration, DVAL and Exposure Active (JAI custom) are
not output through the Camera Link interface. FVAL is only output via Digital I/O-1 connector.
5.2.2 Camera Link pixel clock frequency
In the SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL, the Camera Link pixel clock can be selected from
82.3 MHz, 75.4 MHz and 61.7 MHz. If the 61.7 MHz clock is used, the transfer length through
the camera link cable will be extended to 10m. On the other hand, the frame rate will be
reduced. The default setting is 82.3 MHz.
Note: The maximum lengths shown in the above table are guidelines. Operating at these lengths
may generate bit noise, depending on the cable used.

If Pulse Generator 3 is selected, Length, Start Point, End Point, Repeat Count, Clear Source, Clear
Inverter, Clear Activation and Clear Sync Mode of Pulse Generator 3 are displayed under the
selector.
Table - 10 Pulse Generator default settings
5.4.1 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. Four built-in pulse generators work by the
same clock. In the SP-5000-PMCL, the sensor clock is 48 MHz.
5.4.2 Pulse Generator Selector
This is where you select one of the 4 pulse generators in order to set or modify its
parameters.

Pulse generator repeat count = N
(Pulse generator length x N)
Set the counter up value 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.
5.4.4 Pulse Generator Start Point
Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator.
However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter for the clock which is divided in the clock
pre-scaler can occur.
5.4.5 Pulse Generator End Point
Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.
5.4.6 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 free-running counter.
5.4.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation
Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.
5.4.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode
Set the count clear method for the selected pulse generator.
In 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 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.
1. If Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the pulse generator works in free-running mode.
2. The output of the same pulse generator cannot be connected to Clear input.
5.4.10 Pulse Generator Inverter
Clear Source Signal can be have polarity inverted.

6.3 Output timing and output image
6.3.1 Horizontal timing
The horizontal frequency is changed by setting the Tap Geometry.
In the SP-5000M-PMCL and SP-5000C-PMCL, H-binning is available but the horizontal frequency
is not changed. Therefore, the frame rate is not increased in H-Binning mode.
