2.2 Image Sensor and colour modes
The Uniiqa+ sensor is composed of two sensitive lines of 4096 pixels of 5µm square : One composed of Green
pixels only, the second one composed alternatively of Red/Blue Pixels.
Each pixel on the same column uses its own Analog to Digital Column converter (ADC Column).
This structure allows several definitions :
4k pixels 5x5µm (Full Definition) :
The 2 color lines are exposed with a delay of
one line in order to match the same position
between the green line and the red/blue line
2k Pixels 10x10µm (True Color) :
The colored pixel is composed of 2x Green
pixels, one red and one blue exposed in the
same time.
Then, 1k or 0,5k 10x10µm are achieved by
applying an ROI on the centre of the sensor
from the 2k 10x10µm

2.2.1 4k pixels 5x5µm (Full Definition)
This color mode (5µm) requires the indication of “Forward/Reverse” to the camera in order to manage the
delay between the two colored lines.
2.2.2 2k, 1k or 512 pixels 10x10µm (True Color)
These color modes don’t require any Reverse/Forward indication if no interpolation is used (or only the
”column interpolation”)
Column Interpolation Correction
This interpolation is used to compensate the colour error in the Red or the Blue in case of a
vertical transition on the web : The Red of the blue value of each coloured pixel is corrected
if the variation between two neighbour green pixels is significant.
B1’ = αB x B
1
and αB is the blue correction, calculated with the variation (G1–G2)
R2’ = αR x R
2
and αR is the red correction, calculated with the variation (G1–G2)
This interpolation is available only for pixel size 10x10µm (True Colour only)
It can be disabled by the customer. By default, it is enabled.
Line Interpolation Correction
This interpolation is used to compensate the colour error in the Red
or the Blue in case of a horizontal transition on the web in the same
“True Colour” pixel : A line is memorized and the Red of the blue
value of each coloured pixel is corrected if the variation between
two consecutive green values (previous to next line) is significant :
B1’ = αB x B
1
and αB is the blue correction, calculated with the
variation (G1–G’1)
R2’ = αR x R
2
and αR is the red correction, calculated with the
variation (G2–G’2)

This interpolation is available only for pixel size 10x10µm (True Colour Single only)
It can be enabled by the customer. By default, it is disabled
This interpolation requires the Forward/Reverse indication sent to the camera for the memorized line.
The Line Interpolation has to be disabled if the light is changing for each Line (typically for
pulsed Light source with different spectrum) or for any reason the Green component of
the light source changes significantly from one line to the next one.
Effects of the interpolation corrections
Horizontal transition effect reduced by the “Line Interpolation”
Vertical transition effect reduced by the “Column Interpolation”
Color Interpolation in Full Definition modes.
This colour mode (5µm) requires the indication of “Forward/Reverse” to the camera in order to manage the

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™ UNIIQA+ 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 UNIIQA+ 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 Sensor version : Full Definition for 4k and True Color for 2k.
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 4k version as green and Blue/Red Lines
information are grabbed separately and then the grabbing direction makes sense.
7.2.2 Meta Data
When enabled, Meta Data are added at the End of Each Line for a total of 24 Bytes (Equivalent of 8 RGB Pixels.
In the table below :
M0/M1/M2 are the R/G/B components of the First Pixel
…
M21/M22/M23 are the R/G/B components of the 8th Pixel
