Introduction

This chapter describes the camera in general, which means, it
informs about:

• the most important camera features and its sensor

• where it can be used

• what is part of the delivery

• system requirements

Overview

Introduction

All cameras of the EoSens 3CXP family are CoaXPress compliant.
These high‐speed CMOS cameras come with a 3 Mega pixel sensor of
1696 (H) x 1710 (V). They are widely configurable and scalable to fit to
your needs and are available in monochrome and color (Bayer Filter).

The CoaXPress high speed interface technology allows transfer rates
of up to 6.25 Gbps. Your CXP camera supports CoaXPress Link Speeds
from 1.25 Gbps to 5.00 Gbps.

In addition they offer a very high frame rate of over 560 fps at full res‐
olution. By defining a Region of Interest (ROI) the frame rate can be
increased to several 1000ths of frames.

Another important feature of 3CXP cameras is the high photo sensi‐
tivity of 1270 V.m²/W.s at 600 nm with micro lens.

The camera electronic is enclosed in a compact and solid full metal
housing making it robust enough to comply with the requirements in
heavy industrial surroundings. Shielded coaxial cables as recom‐
mended by the CoaXPress standard will support this.

3CXP cameras can be equipped with standard C‐Mount or F‐Mount
lenses made for industrial purpose.

The most important features of the CXP camera are:

• 3 Mega pixel high speed CMOS sensor

• max. 560 fps

• more than 17,236 frames/s with reduced resolution

• 1” optical format (20.35 mm diagonal)

• active sensor area of 16.35 (H) x 12.10 (V) mm

2

•8 µm

pixels

•max. 3 ROI

• resolution of 1696 x 1710 pixels

• speed raise will be reached by lines

• 11V/lux.s@550nm

• 8 bit pixel output (256 gray levels)

• dynamic range of 60dB

• fill factor 0.4

• dual slope (up to 80 DB optical dynamic range)

• asynchronous trigger

• trigger IN; strobe OUT

MIKROTRON GmbH 2 ‐ 2

Introduction

• trigger frequency of 150 (one edge) and 300 kHz in AnyEdge
mode

• horizontal and vertical decimation

• FPN correction (5x5 matrix)

•CoaXPress link speeds: CXP1, CXP2, CXP3 and CXP5

• wide power supply range of 12 – 24V

This high‐speed camera comes with an electronically readable man‐
ual, describing all available GenICAM commands. For more informa‐
tion see "Configuring the Camera" on page 4‐4.

with a length of 5, 10, 15, 20 m or longer available. Please,
contact your sales representative

MIKROTRON GmbH 2 ‐ 5

Introduction

• Power Supply: If you do not use power over CXP, you need an
external power supply unit, e.g.:

– MC3086/MC3087: NTCAM132x (12 V/2.5 A) with 12 pin

Hirose connector and 5 m cable or

– MC3082/MC3083: NTCAM13xx with 6 pin Hirose connec‐

tor and 5/10 m cable

– MC3082/MC3083: NTCAM13xx with 6 pin Hirose connec‐

tor and a strobe output and 5/10 m cable

•F‐mount adapter

MIKROTRON GmbH 2 ‐ 6

System Requirements

In order to use the MC308x camera you need:

• an image processing system, e.g.: PC and operating system
according to the requirements of the frame grabber

• a completely installed frame grabber with device driver and
software

Introduction

Tip: Read more about frame

grabbers that were tested

with MIKROTRON cameras

in the Application Note

AN0036.

• CoaXPress cable with DIN 1.0/2.3 or 5W5 connector

• if wanted, an external power supply (NTCAM132x or
NTCAM13xx)

Note All cables, connectors and the frame grabber have to be

CoaXPress V1.1 compliant.

CHAPTER

The 3CXP Camera

The chapter describes the camera in general which means:

• the camera types and its differences

• its operating temperature and additional cooling

• how to connect frame grabber and an external power sup‐
ply including pinning and internal circuit

• LED to verify the camera status

• correlation between transfer speed and resolution

• how to clean lens and sensor

Camera Description

3CXP cameras are available with 5W5 or DIN connector. All are
equipped with the same sensor providing a resolution of 2336 x 1728
pixels.

The sensor of the color camera is covered with a Bayer filter in order
to get the RGB information of each image pixel.

In addition, color cameras are equipped with an UV/IR cut filter. Light
with wavelengths between 370 and 670 nm will be transmitted.
These filters assure accurate color images.

There are four camera types available:

Operating Temperature

Despite of its high performance, the fan less CXP camera is compact
and works noiselessly. Supposed, the camera is mounted on mechan‐
ical parts, heat, generated during operation, will be dissipated by the
cooling fins at the rear of the camera and the mechanical parts.

Note The camera’s body temperature must not exceed 55°C.

In case of overheating, the camera will automatically be switched off
and the communication between camera and PC will be interrupted.
Wait until the camera has cooled down, then switch it on.

After a restart of the software the camera can be re‐initialized. Please,
take appropriate cooling measures as described below before operat‐
ing the camera again.

The 3CXP Camera

Additional Cooling

Tip: If the camera is e.g.

mounted on a sturdy alumi‐

num structure, not only

cooling is ensured but also a

stable optical path. In addi‐

tion, vibrations will be mini‐

mized within the entire

system.

Note The camera is not intended for use on an isolated mount‐

ing plate or in a closed housing where the temperature of
the camera will rise.

If the ambient temperature is constantly exceeding 40°C, additional
cooling will be required. This can be achieved by an

•air‐ or water‐cooling system or by

•air‐conditioned housings

At the rear of the camera with DIN connector you find one:

1) status LED
in order to verify the operating status of the camera

2) CoaXPress DIN1.0/2.3 connector with four channels
which is used to connect the camera with a CoaXPress compli‐
ant frame grabber. It can supply the camera with power via
power over coax (PoC)

3) 12 pin Hirose power connector
which is used when an external power supply (12 ‐ 24V) and/
or an external trigger is connected

Remark: Before connec‐

ting an external trigger,

check the pinning of the

Hirose connector, descri‐

bed on page 3‐8. In addi‐

tion, take the trigger

settings into account. For

more information see

"Acquistion Control" on

page 5‐2.

Connecting a Frame Grabber

At the time being, the CoaXPress standard describes four connections
for data transmission between camera and frame grabber. The trans‐

mission speed of a 4CXP camera can either be set to 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, 5 or

6.25 Gbit/s.

and the transmission speed. The following table gives examples.
These values will only be reached if the signal quality meets the
requirements of the CXP‐1.1 specification.

Tip: The maximal cable

length depends also on the

quality of the cables. We

therefore recommend high‐

quality cables like the CXP

cables from MIKROTRON.

CXP‐1 1.25 up to 130

CXP‐2 2.5 up to 110

DIN Connector

In order to connect a CXP camera with a frame grabber you can use
any compatible CoaXPress cable with DIN connector. MIKROTRON
offers cables with the following connectors. For more information see
"Optional Accessories" on page 2‐4.

Connecting an External Power Supply or I/O Signals

assigned, do not use!

In case you prefer an external DC power supply, connect it with the
Hirose connector at the rear of the camera.

WARNING! The power connector of the camera has to be connected

with a DC power supply providing 12 to 24 V DC. Con‐

necting a lower or higher supply voltage, an AC voltage,

reversal polarity or using wrong pins of the power con‐

nector may damage the camera and will void warranty!

MIKROTRON offers the power supply unit NTCAM132xx with cables of
5 or 10 meters. In case you assemble your own cable, pay attention to
the pinning described below.

Cameras with a DIN connector are equipped with a 12 pin and cam‐
eras with 5W5 connector with a 6 pin Hirose power connector.

In case you prefer an external power supply for MC4086/4087, connect it
with the 12 pin Hirose connector (HR10A‐10R‐12PB (71)) at the back of the
camera. The DC power supply has to deliver 12 ‐ 24 V DC (7 W).

The 12 pin connector provides one strobe signal (OUT0) which is low during
exposure and two inputs for an external trigger.
