Most Important Features 4CXP Camera
Introduction
All cameras of the EoSens 4CXP family are CoaXPress compliant. These high-speed CMOS cameras
come with a 4 Megapixel sensor of 2336 (H) x 1728 (V) and are widely configurable and scalable to
fit to your needs. They are available in monochrome and color (Bayer Filter).
The CoaXPress high speed interface technology allows transfer rates of up to 6.25 Gbps. Depending
on the camera model 4CXP cameras support CoaXPress Link Speeds from 1.25 Gbps to 6.25 Gbps.
In addition they offer a very high frame rate of over 500 fps at full resolution. By defining a Region of
Interest (ROI) the frame rate can be increased to several 1000ths of frames.
Another important feature of 4CXP cameras is the high photo sensitivity of 1600 ASA (monochrome)
or 1200 ASA (RGB).
Configuring the camera to Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels using a frame rate of nearly
1000 fps opens a fascinating field of new applications. Full HD recordings are not only precious in
industrial or high-speed applications but also when shooting a scene in high resolution documentary
films or commercial clips.
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
recommended by the CoaXPress standard will support this.
4CXP cameras can be equipped with standard C-Mount or F-Mount lenses made for industrial
purpose.

Hardware
4CXP cameras are available with 5W5 (MC-4082/4086) or DIN connector (MC-4083/4087). All are
equipped with the same sensor providing a resolution of 2336 x 1728 pixels. The color versions are
equipped with a Bayer color filter at the top of the sensor. This filter will code the color information
in the image pixels.
Table A: 4CXP camera features
Rear Side of the Camera with DIN Connector
At the rear of the cameras MC4086/4087 the DIN1.0/2.3 connector and the power connector are to
be found. The DIN connector with four lines is used to connect the camera with a CoaXPress frame
grabber and to supply the camera with power (power-over-coax, so called PoCXP).
Alternatively, a 12 pin Hirose power connector is available to connect an external power supply.
Remark: In order to connect an external trigger take the pinning of the Hirose connector on
page 17 into account and read the trigger settings starting on page 39.

Connecting a Frame Grabber
At the time being, the CoaXPress standard describes 4 connections for data transmission between
camera and frame grabber. The transmission speed of a 4CXP camera can either be set to 1.25, 2.5,
3.125, 5 or 6.25 Gbit/s. The possible cable length depends on the cable type used and the
transmission speed. The following table gives examples. These values can only be reached if the
signal quality meets the requirements of the CXP-1.1 specification.
Table B: Maximal cable length depending on transmission speed
Remark: If several connections are used, all connections will have to be run with the same
transmission speed.
DIN Connector
In order to connect a MC4086/4087 camera with a frame grabber, use any compatible CoaXPress
cable with DIN connector. MIKROTRON offers cables with the following connectors ( page 11):
DIN<->DIN (KKRDDINDINxx/6Gx4)
DIN<->BNC (KKRDDINBNCxx/6Gx4)
If connecting a frame grabber via BNC, keep the order from left to right when making one, two, or
four connections. The inner left connector (1) is the master connector and always has to be
connected. All connections are hot-pluggable.
When using the DIN connector with a cable from MIKROTRON (e.g.: KKRDDINDINxx/6Gx4 ( page
11), use the pin with the triangle on the connector housing as pin 1.

In order to connect a MC4082/4083 camera with a frame grabber, use MIKROTRON’s cable
KKRD5W5BNC0x for 3 or 6 GHz and different lengths.
If connecting a frame grabber via BNC, keep the order from right to left. The outer right connector
(1) is the master connector and always has to be connected. All connections are hot-pluggable.
Connector 5 is not used.

WARNING
The power connector of the camera has to be connected
with a DC power supply providing 12 to 24 V DC.
Connecting a lower or higher supply voltage, an AC
voltage, reversal polarity (+/-) or using wrong pins of the
power connector may damage the camera and will void
warranty.
Connecting an External Power Supply
All 4CXP cameras can either be supplied with power over coax (PoCXP) or via the Hirose connector
with an external power supply. MC4082/4083 cameras are equipped with a female 6-pin and
MC4086/4087 with a female 12 pin Hirose connector.
12 Pin Hirose Connector and I/O Signals
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) ( page 11).
The 12 pin connector provides a strobe signal (STRB
) which is low during exposure and two inputs
OUT
for an external trigger ( page 39).
In case you assemble your own cable, pay attention to the pinning described below.
Table C: Pinning of the Hirose 12 pin power connector
Remarks:
The I/O pins 7 and 8 are not in use.
The I/O standard 3.3V LVTTL applies to all signal I/Os (STRB + TRIG).

The power connector of the cameras MC4082/MC4083 has to be connected via the 6-pin Hirose
connector (HR10A-7P-6S) with a DC supply voltage between 12 and 24 V at a power consumption of
7W max. The DC power supply unit is connected to a dedicated connector at the back side of the
camera. Please, take attention to the pin wiring of the connector as described below.
The 6 pin connector provides a strobe signal (STRB
) which is low during exposure.

In case you assemble your own cable, pay attention to the pinning described below.

WARNING
Never switch off the camera during a firmware update.
Otherwise the camera might be permanently damaged.
WARNING
Sensor Damage
Unplug the camera before you clean any parts!
In no case open the housing when cleaning the
window of the sensor.
If there are coarse particles on the lens or the window
of the sensor, use a vacuum cleaner to remove them
before cleaning in order to avoid scratches.
Use a dry, soft lens-cleaning tissue to clean the lens
and, if necessary, the window of the sensor.
Don't use tools that may harm the sensor/lens.
Resolution and Speed
There is a correlation between resolution and transmission speed for an 8 bpp image and 4
connections of 1.25, 2.5, 3.125, 5, or 6.25 Gbit/s.
Please use our camera compare tool under www.mikrotron.de/cameracompare in order to
determine the frame rate for a certain link speed and resolution.
Cleaning the Sensor or the Lens
If necessary, clean the window of the sensor and the lens with a dry, soft lens-cleansing tissue.
