Chapter 1 Introduction
The Olympus i--SPEED is a self-- contained high speed video camera.
This means that it contains all the functionality required to obtain high
speed video and does not require the presence of a PC. The camera has
been designed to be used as follows:
Controller Display Unit
The Controller Display Unit (CDU) is supplied as standard with the
Olympus
camera in real--time and permits the most flexible use of the
camera, by using a series of buttons around the outside of the
screen. The bottom seven buttons are used as “soft keys”, that is
the function of each button is dependant on the text written above
it on the screen. The four buttons on the right hand side have
dedicated functions and these are Text, Back, Up and Down. The
menu system has been specially constructed to take maximum
advantage of this layout. CDU operation of the camera is
described in detail in Chapter 6
i--SPEED . This product displays the image from the
of this manual.

Nomenclature & Functions
1. Power Connector
The rear panel Power connector is used to take power into the
camera, nominally 12V DC. This power is used to operate the
camera, but is also used to operate the CDU. The power input
is protected against reverse polarity connection and this will
normally result in a blown fuse.
2. Power LED
The power LED will illuminate when 12V is applied and the fuse
is operating correctly.
3. Fuse
The fuse is replaceable by the user and is accessed by
unscrewing the fuse holder. Care must be taken to replace the
fuse with one of the correct size, type and rating.
4. Composite Video BNC Connector
This connector provides an industry standard PAL or NTSC
composite colour video to a video monitor unit. BNC is an
industry standard connection for this type of signal. The video
available from the connector may be switched between NTSC
and PAL via the menu system in the CDU.
Composite video signals are designed to be driven into a
terminated connector, so care must be taken to ensure that the
last piece of equipment in the BNC cable chain is set to
terminatewith75Ohms.
5. Controller Connector
This connector is used to connect the CDU to the camera. It
carries power from the camera to the CDU, video from the
camera to the CDU and receives button press information from
the CDU.
Although this connector conforms to the LVDS industry
standard, it is recommended that only cables supplied by
Olympus are used and it is imperative that no equipment other
than the CDU is attached to this connector.
10 i--SPEED
Nomenclature & Functions
6. Ethernet Connector
Used for software updates if newer software becomes available.
7. SVGA Connector
This connector provides a SVGA signal which contains the
video image and overlay graphics. This signal is a copy of the
CDU image. The output standard is the 60Hz SVGA PC video
signal and the connector conforms to the PC video 15 pin D-- sub
standard. As a result, this signal may be fed directly to a PC
monitor, (CRT or LCD) and provides the best quality live
analogue video signal available from the camera.
8. PCMCIA Slot
The camera is able to operate a PCMCIA flash memory. The
standard used is the ATA FLASH standard and the card may be
either 3V3 or 5V. It is also possible to use a Compact Flash card
with the supplied PCMCIA adapter and this is recommended if
larger memory sizes are required. Once the card is inserted it
must be pressed firmly in place and may be ejected by pressing
the button at the bottom of the slot. It is not necessary to switch
power on and off as the card is inserted and removed, but care
must be taken not to remove the card while writing, deleting or
formatting is in progress.

Nomenclature & Functions
9. Feature Connector
Trigger Input / Trigger Switch: This connector (and the
supplied trigger switch if required) are used to trigger the camera
while recording is in progress. Further details are provided in
Chapter 7 “Un
When the trigger is set to 0%, the trigger counter is set to the
length of the memory, so that the trigger point appears at the
beginning (0%) of the final video clip. A setting of 100% will
cause the recording to stop immediately, placing the trigger
event at the end of the video clip.
The signal is TTL level and the user may select rising edge or
falling edge trigger options.
The trigger input contains a “pull--up” resistor to enable the
supplied trigger switch to be used without further electronics. It
should be noted that the trigger switch provides a falling edge.
In practice, the trigger switch also produces a rising edge
because of switch bounce, but this cannot be guaranteed.
10. Cooling Holes
The rear panel has a number of cooling holes, and more are
located on the sides of the casework at the front of the unit. The
outer holes on the rear panel and the holes at the front of the
unit are air inlets and the holes in a circular pattern on the rear
are air outlets. The primary reason for including forced air
cooling has been to eliminate localised hot spots within the
electronics and care should be taken to ensure that the cooling
holes are kept clear at all times as described in Chapter
“Maintenance”

Nomenclature & Functions
11. Back Focus Control
It is sometimes necessary to adjust the distance between the
C--mount face and the image sensor to accommodate lenses
from different manufacturers and lenses with different optical
tolerances. The Olympus
i--SPEED has a back focus
assembly located in the front of the unit to permit this
adjustment.
To adjust the back focus, screw a C--mount lens into the
C--mount in the normal way. Turn the locking ring anticlockwise
(when viewed from the front) to unlock the C--mount thread ring
then rotate the lens to adjust the back focus as required -- a
series of ‘click’ positions will be felt. When complete, the
adjustment should be left in one of these ‘click’ positions and the
locking ring rotated clockwise to lock the C--mount thread ring in
position.
C-- mount lens
Locking ring
As a guide, the correct setting of back focus is obtained by
pointing the camera at an object at a known distance from the
lens, preferably an “infinite” distance. The scale on the lens is
then used to set the focus ring to this distance. The back focus
is then adjusted to obtain the best image.
12. Mounting Holes
The base of the unit is fitted with 5 standard mounting holes. It
is recommended that the central hole is used for mounting the
camera (e.g. to a tripod) and the other holes may then be used
to mount light-- weight accessories to the camera.
i--SPEED 13
Nomenclature & Functions
13. Protective Bar
The back of the unit is fitted with a protective bar. The purpose
of this is to protect the connectors from damage if the unit is
placed on a s helf and pushed back against a wall. In spite of
this, the bar may also be used as a handle to carry the camera
or to support light-- weight items when the camera is mounted on
a tripod.
Mounting holes
Protective bar
14. Protective Glass
The image sensor is located at the front of the camera inside the
C--mount aperture. A protective glass is fitted to this aperture to
shield the sensor from dust and damage. It is recommended
that the glass is kept clean as detailed in Chapter
“Maintenance”
15. Battery Memory
The Olympus
memory. This is used to keep track of the time and date while
the camera is switched off. The memory is also used to store
some of the user controls, such as the TV monitor standard and
the language setting. The battery is a non--replaceable lithium
cell which should last for approximately 10 years. In the event of
battery failure, default values will be used at each switch--on.

1. CDU
The CDU displays the image from the camera in real--time and
permits the most flexible use of the camera, by using a series of
buttons around the outside of the screen. The CDU is connected
to the camera’s Controller connector via a 3m controller cable (a
10m cable is available as an optional accessory). The CDU
takes power and video from the camera and requires no
batteries or further connections.
LCD Panel, Viewing Angle: At the time of design and writing
this manual, the LCD panel used in the CDU is the best
available LCD panel of this size and resolution. Even this
market leading panel, however, has a restricted viewing angle in
the vertical direction and the user is advised to experiment with
the CDU to find the optimum angle at which to view the image.
Protective Screen: Although the CDU LCD screen is protected
by a tough plastic sheet, it is still recommended that care is
exercised when handling this unit. It is also important to keep
this screen clean to preserve its anti--glare properties and this is
detailed in Chapter 8 “Maintenance”
.
2. Soft keys
The bottom seven buttons on the CDU are used as “soft keys”,
that is the function of each button is dependant on the text
written above to it on the screen.
3. Function keys
The four buttons on the right hand side of the CDU are
dedicated function buttons, these are Text, Back, Up and Down.
The menu system has been specially constructed to take
maximum advantage of this layout.
4. Stand
The CDU is equipped with a stand which may be set to a
number of ‘click-- stop’ positions to allow standing on a flat
surface at various angles or hanging from a convenient hook.
The stand may also be folded flat for storage or when the strap
is used.

Getting Started
Chapter 5 Getting Started
This section provides a functional description followed by the basic steps
required to start using the
5.1 Functional Description
Assuming the system has been connected as described in Chapter 4,the
typical sequence of events is as follows:
After the sensor has been calibrated, the frame speed and shutter settings
are chosen, the lighting and lens are adjusted appropriately and the
camera is placed in record mode.
The camera then takes video at high frame rates and stores it in the
built--in memory. This memory is configured in a circle so that, once the
memory is full, each new frame replaces the oldest stored frame. In this
way, the camera keeps a rolling history of the scene it views and this
process can continue indefinitely. Once the desired event has occurred,
the camera is stopped or triggered.
During the entire set--up and record process, the CDU and any monitor
attached will display the live image in full colour and in real time.
i--SPEED camera system.
Once the required video clip is stored in memory, it may be viewed by
using the player function. In this mode, video may be played forwards or
backwards at a range of speeds. A convenient bookmark system is
provided for easy navigation between sections of interest.
The memory in the camera will be erased without power, so if it is
necessary to preserve the captured video after power off, it may recorded
onto a PCMCIA memory card, which is inserted into the card slot provided.
The internal memory is much bigger than any card currently available, so
only a subsection of video may be stored. High speed video clips
generally contain a large amount of “dead time” and a relatively small
amount of useful motion, in recognition of this, the Olympus i--SPEED has
a clip select function which allows a precise choice of the video to be
saved.

` Shutter Control
It is sometimes desirable to reduce the time during which the
sensor gathers light (called “exposure time”, “integration time” or
“shutter time”) in order to reduce motion blur and “freeze” the
motion in each frame. The default shutter time is equal to the frame
time, but this may be reduced by this control. The shutter time is
measured as the ratio between frame time and shutter time, e.g.
x10 means that the shutter is open for 1/10 of the frame period. The
shutter period may range from the frame period (x1) to 1/200 of the
frame period (x200).
The user should note that as the shutter ratio is increased, the
camera will require more light.
` WB Set Control
This control activates the automatic white balance function. Before
pressing this control, the user must place a pure white reference
(sheet of paper etc.) in front of the camera, completely filling the
field of view. This must not be removed until the white balance is
complete. An on screen message shows the status of the white
balance process.
Please refer to Chapter 7 “Understanding the Olympus

Chapter 7 Understanding the
Olympus i- SPEED
The Olympus i --SPEED has been designed with ease of use in mind and
all the functions of the camera are accessed via clear and descriptive
menus. Every effort has been made to ensure that the menus are intuitive.
High speed video, however is a complex subject in itself and several of the
functions of the Olympus i--SPEED are necessarily complex. Reading the
following section will provide the user with sufficient knowledge of these
areas to begin to understand the menus themselves. A detailed
description of the menus is given earlier.
` Speed
The camera contains electronic memory to hold the video images
as they are captured and this has a specific size. The memory is
therefore capable of holding a fixed number of full resolution
images and there is a clearly defined maximum recording time at
1,000fps.
If the frame rate is reduced below 1,000fps, the available record
time will increase because the images are arriving less frequently.
There is a further trade--off associated with frame speed and this is
discussed below.
` Shutter, Speed, Sensitivity
The sensor operates by capturing light, converting it to an
electronic facsimile of the optical image and supplying the memory
with the image while the cycle begins to repeat. The period during
which light is captured is called the “integration time”, “exposure
time” or “shutter time”. The shutter time is normally equal to the
maximum time available during the frame, called the “frame period”.
If the scene contains a very fast moving object, the object may
move an appreciable distance during the frame period and this will
cause the object to appear blurred. This “motion blur” is sometimes
undesirable, so the Olympus i--SPEED is able to reduce the
shutter time to a fraction of the frame period and this causes the
object to be “frozen” in each frame. The shutter time is usually
measured as the ratio between frame period and shutter time, e.g.
10x means that the shutter is open for 1/10 of the frame period.
Reducing the shutter time however, reduces the amount of time the
camera spends gathering light and the image will become dimmer.
For this reason, increasing the shutter setting will normally require
the addition of extra light to the scene.
i--SPEED 37
Understanding i-- SPEED
A similar effect is found when the frame speed is increased. The
available shutter time is reduced because the frame period is
reduced -- the faster the frames are taken, the less time is spent on
each one. As a result of this, increasing frame speed will normally
require the addition of extra light to the scene.
` Internal Memory, Circular buffer
When in record mode, the camera continuously stores frames in its
internal memory. That memory is configured in a circle so that,
once the memory is full, each new frame replaces the oldest stored
frame. In this way, the camera keeps a rolling history of the scene
it views and this process can continue indefinitely. This
configuration of the memory is called a “circular buffer”.
Once the desired event has occurred, the camera may be stopped
by pressing a menu button or raising a trigger event as discussed
below.
` Trigger
As mentioned above, the Olympus i-- SPEED records video in a
circular buffer and can do so indefinitely. At some point, however, it
is necessary to stop the recording process in order to preserve the
data in the memory.
The method of stopping the camera is highly important as it is this
which guarantees the capture of the event in question. There are
two methods of stopping the Olympus i --SPEED .Thefirstisa
button press in the menu system and this immediately stops the
record process, so that the memory contains the history prior to the
button press.
The second method is to use an external electrical trigger, which
causes the camera to stop after a user-- settable delay. By
permitting the camera to record for a brief time after the trigger,
some history before the trigger and also some future after the
trigger are preserved in the memory. In this way, the trigger may
occur in the middle of the event of interest and yet the camera can
still capture the whole event.
The delay between the trigger event and the cessation of recording
is controlled by a frame counter known as the trigger counter. The
length of this count is controlled by the menu system and is
expressed as a percentage of the total available record time of the
camera’s memory.
The counter value is described from the viewpoint of the final
recorded video clip, so that a setting of 0% sets the counter to
delay for the entire length of the circular buffer. In this way, the
38 i--SPEED
Understanding i-- SPEED
trigger event will appear at the beginning of the video clip.
Similarly, a setting of 100% will cause the camera to stop
immediately a trigger is received, and this will place the trigger
event at the end of the recorded video clip.
Since the trigger is an electrical signal, the Olympus i--SPEED ma y
be set to wait for either the rising or the falling edge of the trigger
pulse.
` Sensor, FPN, FPN Calibration
The image sensor used in the Olympus i--SPEED camera is a
CMOS chip and, like all CMOS imagers, it has the property of
introducing fixed pattern noise (FPN) onto the image. Most HSVC
manufacturers provide some form of correction to remove the FPN.
FPN will give the image a gritty appearance, almost as though the
picture has been printed onto sandpaper, and may also produce
thin vertical stripes.
To calibrate the sensor, the user must press the “Calibrate” button
and then completely cover the lens to exclude all light. An
on-- screen message allows the user a brief time to do this. The
calibration then occurs and the message is removed once this is
complete.
The control to manually trigger the calibration is found in the config
menu.
` White Balance
The human eye automatically adjusts its colour processing in order
to make white objects look “white” in spite of varying ambient
lighting colour. When viewing video on a monitor, however, the eye
judges white based on the ambient around the monitor, not on the
ambient around the camera. For this reason, a colour camera must
also adjust its processing to compensate for the ambient lighting
and configure its output to produce the electronic version of pure
white (red = green = blue) when a white object is viewed. In this
way, the camera can render white objects as white on the monitor,
in spite of ambient light coloration. This function is called white
balance.
i--SPEED 39
Understanding i-- SPEED
The Olympus i --SPEED provides an automatic white balance
which relies on the user placing a pure white reference (sheet of
paper etc.) in front of the camera, completely filling the field of view
and then pressing the WB Set button. When this is done, the
camera will sample the reference and reconfigure its processing
electronics to render this as pure white. The reference must not be
removed until the white balance is complete, so an on screen
message shows the status of the white balance process.
` Lighting
The Olympus i --SPEED has been designed to remove most of the
difficulty associated with taking high speed video shots, but two
areas of critical importance still remain, lenses and lighting. In
many cases, most of the time taken when working with the
Olympus i--SPEED will be used in setting up the lighting, framing
the shot and choosing the correct lens.
Earlier sections of this document have described how the shutter
time and speed setting of the camera dramatically increase the
requirement for light. The result of this is that most high speed
video applications require a large amount of lighting and this is a
common theme in the high speed video industry. As a rough guide,
most indoor shots require 500 to 2,000 watts of additional lighting.
This is traditionally provided by shining a few high power spot lights
on the target scene but, for smaller targets, the Olympus range of
industrial light sources and light guides provide ideal illumination.
Simply providing a large wattage of light is not suitable for most
applications. It is usually necessary to carefully focus and target
the light, so general purpose floodlights are not normally useful in
HSV work.
An illustration is given from the experience of the i--SPEED
development team. A car parts manufacturer wished to view a
rapid movement in the mechanism of a prototype seatbelt reel.
The scene was illuminated with several 1,000 watt garden
floodlights, but this was sufficient for only a few hundred frames per
second. The lighting was removed and replaced by a single
specialised 500 watt spotlight and this permitted operation at 1,000
fps. When faster operation was required, the spotlight was
augmented by an Olympus Industrial light source and liquid light
guide and this increased the operating speed to 4,000fps.
This example is included to show that the quantity of light is
significantly less important than the concentration of light. Olympus
representatives are able to supply specialised lighting which has
been selected to be suitable for most high speed video
applications.

Understanding i-- SPEED
` View Finder
In contrast with some other manufacturer’s products, the Olympus
i--SPEED camera presents the live image on the CDU or monitor
screen at all possible times. Some menus do require the image to
be obscured and the splash screen logo is used for this purpose.
Also, the playback screen is used to display the contents of the
memory buffer, rather than a live image. During the live view and
the record process, however, the screen will display a live, colour,
real time image, updated at 60 frames per second.
` Lenses
The choice of lens can make a dramatic difference to the video
images obtained.
Choosing the lens must begin with the focal length, which is
expressed in mm. A lens with a large focal length would normally
be chosen when a small area is to be viewed or the camera is to be
a long distance away from the scene, because a longer focal length
means a greater magnification. This type of lens has the
disadvantage of reducing the apparent distance between objects
which are arranged axially with the camera. This is called
foreshortening. Lenses with long focal lengths also tend to have a
smaller maximum iris setting (higher f number) and are dimmer
than short focal length lenses.
A lens with a short focal length is chosen when a wide area is to be
viewed, or the camera is to be placed near to the scene. Lenses
with a very short focal length have the disadvantage of distorting
the perspective of the image and this is called barrel distortion.
Normal lenses have a controllable iris or aperture. The iris controls
the amount of light available to the camera. The higher the f
number, the less light the lens transmits. Increasing the number by
1.4 times (e.g. from f/4 to f/5.6), is called 1 stop and halves the light
throughput.
There is a secondary effect of reducing the iris (increasing the f
number) and this is an increase in the depth of field. This means
that the lens is more able to focus on close and distant objects
simultaneously, so a small iris setting is advantageous.
This is in conflict with the normal HSV requirement for as much light
as possible, especially at high speeds and fast shutter times.
Probably the greatest art in lens set--up is striking a balance
between getting all objects in the scene into focus and having a
bright enough image. It is advisable in general to operate with a
smaller iris (higher f number) and add more light.
i--SPEED 41
Understanding i-- SPEED
It is not possible to specify an ideal lens, because photography is
dependant on the object being photographed, but an “average”
lens for the Olympus i--SPEED would have a focal length of 25mm
and an iris range of f/1.4 to f/22.
When purchasing lenses for the Olympus i--SPEED ,itmustbe
remembered that the CMOS imager is quite large in size, so a 1”
format (minimum) lens is required.
