2.2 Image Sensor
The Eliixa+ 4k sensor is composed of two pairs
of sensitive lines. Each pair of lines use the
same Analog to Digital Column converter (ADC
Column). An appropriate (embedded) Time
delay in the exposure between each line allows
combining two successive exposures in order to
double the sensitivity of a single line.
This Time Delay Exposure is used only in the 4S
multi-line modes (4 Lines) and also in the three
binning modes, as described below.
The 4096 Pixels of the whole sensor can be
binned to provide 2 Lines of 2048 Pixels of
10x10µm

The complete Boot sequence :
No real peak of Inrush current
Several steps up to the nominal current
(about 430mA under 24V)
If the NIC Board (on PC Side) is not forced at 5Gb/s (no Auto-Negotiation or 10Gb/s) then a
peak of 1,5A can be observed at the boot on the camera power Supply. The 10Gb/s
connection is required only if you want achieve the real 5Gb/s (50kHz in 4k) otherwise you
can force the connection at 5Gb/s : This could prevent the camera to complete a safe boot
(depending on the Power provided)

5 Camera Interface : NBASE-T
TM
5.1 What is the NBASE-T
TM
Technology ?
NBASE-T™ technology defines a new type of Ethernet signaling that boosts the speed of installed based
twisted-pair cabling well beyond the cable’s designed limit of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) for distances up to
100 meters.
Capable of reaching 2.5 and 5 Gbps using the large installed base of Cat5e and Cat6 cabling, NBASE-T™
solutions enable users to accelerate their networks in the most cost-effective, least disruptive manner.
Flexible silicon solutions can auto-negotiate the optimal network speed, be it the new NBASE-T™ rates, slower
2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps rates and even 10Gbps for very high speed networks.
To introduce these new cameras, e2v has partnered with PLEORA
Technologies, the world’s leading supplier of high-performance video
interfaces, the first company from the machine vision industry to join the
NBASE-T™ Alliance, a consortium collaborating on new technologies that
extend the bandwidth capabilities of twisted-pair copper cabling using
standard Ethernet technology.
Then all NBASE-T™ ELiiXA+ are licensed for Pleora eBus SDK and PureGeV Software that you can download on
Pleora website (http://www.pleora.com/our-products/ebus-sdk)
The ELIIXA+ NBASE-T™ Camera is not compliant with a standard 1 Gbps NIC Board : You
need a 5/10Gbps Board (as the N-420 PCIe that can be delivered in option).
The following recommendations have to be taken in account for the configuration of the
Board in order to achieve optimal performances :
If you don’t need to reach the Highest speed (5Gbps), you can fix the Board speed
connection to 5Gbps (instead of Auto-Negociation) : This will avoid a significant peak of
current of 1.5A at the Power Up.
To reach the maximum throughput (5 Gbps which is equivalent to 50kHz in 4k pixels):
Update NIC driver (at least 4.4.405.152)
NIC board configuration:
> 10Gb/s connection
> Packet Size at 8192
> Enable Jumbo packet
> Number of RX Descriptors : 1000 (maximum)
> Number of TX Descriptor : 1000 (maximum)

6 Camera Interface Overview
6.1 Inputs, Outputs and Enhanced Features
The Digital I/O Module allows the connection of 7 external Lines :
3 dedicated inputs (Line 0, 1 and 2) that can generate 2 Line Triggers (LT1 and LT2) and one Frame
Trigger (FT) that will be used as inputs in the Enhanced features Block.
4 convertible generic Inputs / Outputs (Line 3, 4, 5 and 6) that can generate up to 4 additional Input
Lines (L3, 4, 5 and 6) that will be used also in the Enhanced features Block or Used as Outputs.
A flexible in/Out block in RS422 or TTL with different detection levels (3.3v, 5v, 12v, 24v)
A Debounce and Inverter block that can filter and invert the internal Signals Inputs once affected to
LT1, LT2, FT, L3, L4, L5 or L6.
The Enhanced Feature block completes the treatment on internal signals to generate Triggers :
A delay dedicated to the Frame Trigger only (FT)
A Full Rotary Encoder management (Quadratic with or without reverse miscount) that use by default
LT1 and LT2 as A/B Inputs. It can be bypassed to output by default LT1 as single Line Trigger input.
A Rescaler following the Rotary Encoder module (available also if Rotary Encoder is bypassed)
2x Counters and 2x Timers
The Internal Signals provided by the Digital I/O Block and the Enhance Feature block are :
LT1/2 : Line Trigger 1/2
RO : Rotary Encoder Output
FT : Frame Trigger (Signal Issued from the DigitalIOControl Block)
Frame Valid (Signal issued from the Frame Valid GenICam Trigger)
Frame Start (Signal issued from the Frame Start GenICam Trigger)
FLO (Exposure Active in the Sensor)
Lx : Line Inputs (L3, L4, L5, L6)
TE1/2 : Timers End 1/2
CE1/2 : Counters End 1/2
Then these Signals will be used to generate the 4 possible GenICam Triggers :
Line Start : With Exposure mode Off or Timed and a possible Delay before Exposure.
Exposure Active : With Exposure mode in TriggerWidth, linked to the Trigger signal level
Frame Start : The Frame Length is fixed and set by “Height” parameter.
Frame Active : For a variable Frame Length which depends on the Frame Trigger

7.2 Image Format Control
This section includes all the settings relative to the Image Format and size.
7.2.1 Image Format
Height : Set the Height of the Image, but also the Buffer’s Heights in the Application. From 1 to 16383
Test Image Selector : Test Patterns are defined in Appendix A
Reverse Reading : Reverse output the line in the “X” Direction.
Sensor Mode : Depends on the camera version : 4k or 2k (Read Only)
Scan Direction : Defines the if the Standard web direction is forward or Reverse versus the Mounting of
the camera in the System. If Set on External, it is defined by the Scan Direction Source Signal (0:Forward,
1:Reverse) :
The Scan direction information is available and useful only for the 2S, 4S Modes (in 4K) or 2SB in 2k.

7.2.2 Meta Data
When enabled, Meta Data are added at the End of Each Line for a total of 24 Bytes (or 24 Pixels 8bits) In the
table below :
M0/M1/M2… are the 8bits components of each Pixel
7.2.3 HDR mode
The High Dynamic Range Mode is using the top and bottom couple of lines of the sensor in a different way in
order to get 2 different exposures that can be combined to give a High Dynamic range result :

There are three different possible outputs when the HDR mode is set :
Single Line Bottom only : Line “C” only is outputted to check the High Levels
Single Line Top only : Line “A+B” is outputted to check the Low Levels
Single Line HDR : The Camera outputs the HDR Line reconstructed from “A+B” and “C” Lines in the camera
in the “HDR” bloc.
The Exposition of the “C” Line is automatically controlled by setting the HDR Ratio :
Ratio 1 : Equivalent to x2 ratio between Top and Bottom or 1 bit in the Dynamic
Ratio 2 : Equivalent to x4 ratio between Top and Bottom or 2 bit in the Dynamic
Ratio 4 : Equivalent to x8 ratio between Top and Bottom or 3 bit in the Dynamic
Ratio 8 : Equivalent to x16 ratio between Top and Bottom or 4 bit in the Dynamic
How to Set the HDR Mode
Set The Sensor Mode in “HDR”
Set The HDR Mode in “Single Line HDR” to Output an HDR Line
Select the Ratio of exposure required between the low and the high level Lines.
Set the Camera Synchronization Mode in Full Exposure Mode Preset : The choice of the
exposure of the single Line is made in Automatic by selecting the Ratio between High
and Low Level Lines.
More details are given in Appendix C
7.2.4 Regions of Interest
Up to 4 Regions of Interest can be set :
No Overlap is possible between the different ROI : Start and width defined for each ROI.
Each ROI will perform its own Flat Field Correction (Max reference taken in the ROI).
