Genie Nano Series Overview
Description
The Genie Nano series, a member of the Genie camera family, provides a new series of affordable
easy t o use digital cameras specifically engineer ed for industrial imaging applic ations requiring
improved network integration.
Genie Nano cameras use the industries’ latest leading sensors such as the Sony Pregius series and
On-Semi Python series of global shutter active pixel-type CMOS image sensors.
Genie Nano cameras combine standard gigabit Ethernet technology (supporting GigE Vision 1.2)
with the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably capture and
transfer images from the camera to the host PC. Genie Nano cameras are available in a number of
models implementing different sensors, image resolutions, and feature sets, either in monochrome,
monochrome N IR, or color versions.
GigE with TurboDrive
Genie Nano cameras include TurboDrive™ technology, delivering high speed data transfers
exceeding the GigE limit. TurboDrive uses advanced data modeling to boost data transfers up to 2
or 3 times faster than standard GigE Vision speeds – with no loss of image quality. These
breakthrough rates are achieved using a proprietary process that assembles data from the sensor
to optimize throughput, simultaneously taking full advantage of both the sensor’s maximum frame
rate and the camera’s maximum GigE data transfer speed (up to 1 1 5 Mbytes/s). Teledyne DALSA’s
TurboDrive increases system dependability and robustness similar to Camera Link throughput on a
GigE network.
Important: Actual Transfers with TurboDrive is image content dependent but in the best case
scenario, transfers over a GigE Network can reach the camera’s internal acquisition limit of up to
252MB/sec. If transfers are less than the camera maximum acquisition rate, camera memory will
be used as a circular frame buffer. Note: Not supported with RGB output firmware on any model
due to camera resource limitations.
Refer to TurboDrive Primer on the Teledyne DALSA web site for more details.

Genie Nano Overview
• Optimized, rugged design with a wider operating temperature
• Availa ble in multiple sensors/resolutions, monochrome and color
• Refer to the Operation Reference and Technical Specifications section of the manual for full
details
•Refer to the Sapera LT 8.10 release notes for information on GigE Vision and TurboDrive
Technology support.
GigE Firmware
Firmware updates for Genie Nano are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA web site
www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/support/downloads. Choose Genie Nano Firmware from the
available download sections, then choose the zip file download specific to your camera model.
When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see File Access via the
CamExpert Tool).
The Camera firmware can also be easily upgrade/downgrade within your own application via the
API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents unrecoverable camera errors even in the
case of a power interruption.

GenICam™ support — XML camera description file Embedded within Genie Nano
Genie Nano cameras are 100% compliant with the GigE Vision 1.2
specification which defines the communication interface protocol used by any
GigE Vision device. The device descriptio n and capabilities are contained in an
XML file. For more information see:
Genie Nano cameras implement a superset of the GenICam™ specifi c ation
which defines device capabilities. This description takes the form of an XML
device description file respec ting the sy ntax d efi ne d by the GenAp i module of
the GenICam™ specification. For more infor ma tio n see www.genicam.org.
The Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision Module provides a license free development platform for Teledyne
DALSA GigE hardware or Sapera vision applications . Additionally supported are Sapera GigE Vision
applications for third party hardware with the pur chase of a GigE Vision Module license, or the
Sapera processing SDK with a valid license.
The GigE Visio n Compliant X ML dev ice description file is embedded within Genie Nano firmware
allowing GigE Visio n Compliant applications access to Genie Nano capabilities and controls
immediately after connection.

operations in a system.
** Limited to the Genie Nano Architecture:
• ~250MB/sec Sustained into the TurboDrive Engine
• Additional note: This transfer was achieved using 1500 Byte Packet Size.
*** Actual Exposure Time:
•The actual internal minimum exposure may be different than what is programmed. Use the
feature “exposureTimeActual” from the Sensor C on t rol category to read back the actual
