Supported Industry Standards
GenICam™
The camera is GenICam compliant and implements a superset of the GenICam Standard Features
Naming Convention specification V1.5.
This description takes the form of an XML device description file using the syntax defined by the
GenApi module of the GenICam specification. The camera uses the GenICam Generic Control
Protocol (GenCP V1.0) to communicate over the Camera Link HS command lane.
For more information see www.genicam.org.
Camera Link HS
The camera is Camera Link HS (version 1.0) compliant. Camera Link HS is the next generation of
high performance communications standards. It is used where an industrial digital camera
interfaces with a single or multiple frame grabber and with data rates exceeding those supported
by the standard Camera Link.
The cameras come with two different output mediums. For the 8K camera it uses two LC
connectors for data output. These two LC connectors are part of the SFP+ standard but in the case
of the 8K camera the SFP+ modules are built into the camera. Either one or both SFP+ modules
can be used but using only one SFP+ / Fibre optic will sacrifice available bandwidth.
Figure 3.Linea HS 8K Dual LC/SFP+ Connector Configuration
For the 16K camera, it uses a CX4 connector for the output using up to 5 lanes.
The Linea ML Color Camera 11
Figure 4. Single CX4 CLHS Connector Configuration
The command channel is used by the frame grabber to send commands, configuration, and
programming data to the camera and to receive command responses, status, and image data from
the camera. With two SFP+ modules populated, the CLHS protocol will auto negotiate which one
will be dedicated as the command channel. Data and command transmission is done with CLHS X
protocol (64b / 66b) at the default speed of 10 Gbs.
Data Cables
LC Fiber Optic (8K Cameras)
The fiber optic cables for the 8K camera require LC connections on both ends of the cable. The
frame grabber requires the LC connector to be plugged into a SFP+ transceiver module.
LC is a small-form factor fiber optic connector that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule, half the size of a
standard connector. These cables are in wide use in the telecommunications industry and available
in many lengths.
The distance through which the data can be transmitted depends on the type of fiber optic used.
Recommended fiber optic cables are types OM3 and OM4.
OM4 is used for distances > 300 m, but also requires SFP+ transceiver module changes.

CX4 AOC (16K Cameras)
For the 16K camera, the Camera Link HS CX4 AOC (Active Optical Cable) cables are made to

improve speed and distance performance of the cable without sacrificing compatibility with
standard electrical interfaces.
Camera Link HS cables can be bought from an OEM. OEM cables are also available for applications
where flexing is present.
Please refer to Teledyne DALSA’s website (www.teledynedalsa.com) for a list of recommended
cable vendors and for part numbers.
Each data cable is used for sending image data to and accepting command data from the frame
grabber. Command data includes GenICam compliant messages, trigger timing, and general
purpose I/O, such as direction control.
Please note: the data transmits at 10 Gbps which limits the effective distance of copper-based
cables.

Precautions
Read these precautions carefully before using the camera.
Confirm that the camera’s packaging is undamaged before opening it. If the packaging is damaged
please contact the related logistics personnel.
Do not open the housing of the camera. The warranty is voided if the housing is opened.
Keep the camera’s front plate temperature in a range of 0 °C to +65 °C during operation. The
camera can measure its internal temperature. Use this feature to record the internal temperature
of the camera when it is mounted in your system and operating under the worst-case conditions.
The camera will shut down if its internal temperature reaches +80 °C.
Do not operate the camera near strong electromagnetic fields. In addition, avoid electrostatic
discharging, violent vibration, and excess moisture.
To clean the device, avoid electrostatic charging by using a dry, clean absorbent cotton cloth
dampened with a small quantity of pure alcohol. Do not use methylated alcohol. To clean the
surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove severe stains, use a soft cloth
dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent and then wipe dry. Do not use volatile
solvents such as benzene and thinners, as they can damage the surface finish. Further cleaning
instructions are below.
It is recommended that you power down and disconnect power to the camera before you add or
replace system components.
Electrostatic Discharge and the CMOS Sensor
Image sensors and the camera’s housing can be susceptible to damage from severe electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charge introduced to the sensor window surface can induce charge
buildup on the underside of the window. The charge normally dissipates within 24 hours and the
sensor returns to normal operation.
Install & Configure Frame Grabber & Software
Because of the high bandwidth required by this camera, we recommend a compatible Teledyne
DALSA frame grabber (OR-A8S0-FX840 or OR-A8S0-PX870), or equivalent, described in detail on
the teledynedalsa.com site here. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
A GenICam compliant XML device description file is embedded within the camera firmware and
allows GenICam compliant applications to recognize the camera’s capabilities following connection.
Installing Sapera LT gives you access to the CamExpert GUI, a GenICam compliant application.
Using Sapera CamExpert
CamExpert is the camera interfacing tool supported by the Sapera library. When used with the
camera, CamExpert allows a user to access a camera’s features and parameters, and to test the
operating modes. In addition, CamExpert can be used to save the camera’s user settings
configurations to the camera. Or saves multiple configurations as individual camera parameter files
on the host system (*.ccf). CamExpert can also be used to upgrade the camera’s software.
16 The Linea ML Color Camera
An important component of CamExpert is its live acquisition display window. This window allows
the user to immediately verify the timing or control parameters without needing to run a separate
acquisition program.
For context sensitive help, click on the button and then click on a camera configuration
parameter.
A short description of the configuration parameter will be shown in a popup. Click on the
button to open the help file for more descriptive information on CamExpert.
Note: The availability of features depends on the CamExpert user setting. Not all features are
available to all users.
A note on the CamExpert examples shown here: The examples shown are for illustrative purposes and may not entirely reflect the
features and parameters available from the camera model used in your application.
The Linea ML Color Camera 17
CamExpert Panes
CamExpert, first instance: select Camera Link HS RGB using the Device drop-down menu.
Figure 5. CamExpert Frame Grabber Control Window
The CamExpert application uses panes to organize the selecting and configuring of camera files or

Camera I / O Connectors
1) Factory use only.
2) Data and control connectors: LC (8K) and CX4 (16K).
3) LED status indicators.
4) Power and GPIO connectors: +12 V to +24 V DC, Hirose 12-pin circular.
Powering the Camera
WARNING: When setting up the camera’s power supply follow these guidelines:
Apply the appropriate voltages of between +12 V to +24 V. Incorrect voltages may damage
the camera.
Before connecting power to the camera, test all power supplies.
Protect the camera with a 3-amp slow blow fuse between the power supply and the camera.
Do not use the shield on a multi-conductor cable for ground.
Keep leads as short as possible to reduce voltage drop.
20 The Linea ML Color Camera
Use high quality supplies to minimize noise.
When using a +12 V supply, voltage loss in the power cables will be greater due to the
higher current. Use the Camera Information category to refresh and read the camera’s input
voltage measurement. Adjust the supply to ensure that it reads above or equal to +12 V.
Note: If your power supply does not meet these requirements, then the camera performance
specifications are not guaranteed.
Power and GPIO Connections
The camera uses a single 12-pin Hirose male connector for power, trigger, and strobe signals. The
suggested female cable mating connector is the Hirose model HR10A-10P-12S.
12-Pin Hirose Connector Signal Details
The following figure shows the pinout identification when looking at the camera’s 12-pin male

The wire gauge of the power cable should be sufficient to accommodate a surge during power-up of
at least 3 amps with a minimum voltage drop between the power supply and camera. The camera
can accept any voltage between +12 Volts and +24 Volts. If there is a voltage drop between the
power supply and camera, ensure that the power supply voltage is at least 12 Volts plus this
voltage drop. The camera input supply voltage can be read using CamExpert. Refer to the section
on Voltage & Temperature Measurement for more details.
