The item that is not described in specifications of this product is off the subject of the guarantee.
The attachment mistake of a cable.
Do not drop the equipment or allow it to be subject to strong impact or vibration, as such action may
cause malfunctions. Further, do not damage the connection cable, since this may cause wire
breakage.
Environmental operating conditions
Do not use the product in locations where the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds the
specifications.
Otherwise, image quality may be degraded or internal components may be adversely affected. In
particular, do not use the product in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
Combination of C-mount lens
Depending on the lens you use, the performance of the camera may not be brought out fully due to
the deterioration in resolution and brightness in the peripheral area, occurrence of a ghost,
aberration and others. When you check the combination between the lens and camera, be sure to
use the lens you actually use.
When installing a lens in the camera, make sure carefully that it is not tilted.
In addition, use a mounting screw free from defects and dirt. Otherwise, the camera may be unable
to be removed.
As for the C-mount lens used combining this product, the projection distance from bottom of the
screw should use 10mm or less.
Mounting to a pedestal
When mounting this product to a pedestal, make sure carefully that the lens doesn't touch with the
pedestal.
Do not expose the camera’s image-pickup-plane to sunlight or other intense light directly.
Its inner CMOS sensor might be damaged.
Occurrence of moiré
If you shoot thin stripe patterns, moiré patterns (interference fringes) may appear. This is not a
malfunction.
Occurrence of noise on the screen
If an intense magnetic or electromagnetic field is generated near the camera or connection cable,
noise may be generated on the screen. If this occurs, move the camera or the cable.
“This symbol is applicable for EU member states only”
Defective pixels
A CMOS image sensor is composed of photo sensor pixels in a square grid array. Due to
the characteristics of CMOS image sensors, over- or under-driving of the pixels results in
temporary white or black areas (as if these are noises) appearing on the screen. This
phenomenon, which is not a defect is exacerbated under higher temperatures and long
exposure time.
Image shading
The brightness of the upper part of the screen may be different from that of the lower part. Note
that this is a characteristic of a CMOS image sensor and is not a fault.
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Handling of the protective cap
If the camera is not in use, attach the lens cap to the camera to protect the image pickup surface.
If the equipment is not to be used for a long duration
Turn off power to the camera for safety.
Maintenance
Turn off power to the equipment and wipe it with a dry cloth.
If it becomes severely contaminated, gently wipe the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened with
diluted neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals because such
chemicals may damage or discolor the paint and indications.
If the image pickup surface becomes dusty, contaminated, or scratched, consult your sales
representative.
Disposal
When disposing of the camera, it may be necessary to disassemble it into separate parts, in
accordance with the laws and regulations of your country and/or municipality concerning
environmental contamination.
This BU CMOS series is an integrated-(one-body)-type camera that adopts a global shutter CMOS
sensor. These are BU302MG (3M type1/1.8) BU505MG (5M type2/3). Suffix [CG] or [CF] are attached

Setting the gain value too high increases noises. When you adjust the brightness of the image, I ask
you to have final image quality checked with your environment.
5. Functions
5.1 Gain
Manual gain and automatic gain control (AGC) settings are provided. Gain is adjustable from 0 to
+24dB.
5.1.1 Manual
The camera gain can be set manually.

5.4 LUT (Look up Table)
Arbitrary curve and binarization are possible by using 12 bit input and 12 bit output LUT.
5.5 Exposure Time
Manual exposure time and automatic exposure time control (AE) are available
5.5.1 Manual
Exposure time is adjustable by micro-second unit.
5.5.2 AE*

5.10 Saturation
Color models have saturation control.
5.11 Chunk*
It is possible to integrate some sort of information about each image with video data.
- In the period when FRAME_TRIGGER_WAIT signal is inactive, user must not input external trigger
signal to this camera.
- When the interval of the input trigger signal is extremely short, or when the trigger signal is noisy,
there is a possibility of causing the malfunction. In this case, please input a proper trigger signal.
5.12 Random Trigger Shutter
An image is captured at the desired timing using trigger signal input. External trigger signal from
trigger input connector and software trigger from control command via the USB 3.0 interface are
available (Edge mode / Bulk mode). Trigger polarity is selectable (High active / Low active).
Note that Random Trigger Shutter will cause a delay between trigger signal and start of exposure.
See 7. Timing Chart for detail.
- Edge mode (TriggerSequence0)
The exposure time is determined by Exposure Time setting.
- Level mode (TriggerSequence1)
The exposure time is determined by the pulse width of the trigger signal.
- Bulk mode (TriggerSequence6)
Camera exposes and transfers multiple frames by a single trigger.
Selected signals are output from GPIO pins of I/O connector. Following signals are selectable.
Output signal is 5V CMOS.
TIMER0 ACTIVE : This signal can be used as strobe control signal.
The delay time and pulse width of this signal are configurable.
USER OUTPUT : Level selectable user output by register setting.
EXPOSURE ACTIVE : Period from exposure start to end.
FRAME ACTIVE : Period from exposure start to the CMOS transfer completion.
FRAME TRANSFER : Period of transferring image data on USB bus.
FRAME TRIGGER WAIT : Indicating waiting a Random Trigger Shutter.
An External trigger is input during this period,
Scalable is to read out arbitrary area of the image. Only single rectangle is selectable. Concave or
convex shape is impossible. The number of selectable window is only one.
- Window size: {A+4*m (H)} * {B+2*n (V)}
A, B = minimum unit size
m, n = integer
The window size is equal or less than maximum image size.
- Start address: {4*i (H)} * {2*j (V)}
i, j = integer
The window size is equal or less than maximum image size.
In the scalable mode, camera reads out only necessary area at the normal speed and reads out other
area at high speed. The trigger interval can be shorter when the vertical height size is small.
B/W models have 2 x 2 binning. In the binning, pixel data is combined by vertical and horizontal.
When you set up a value of the one side for horizontal or vertical binning, the other side of the value
is set up automatically.
*Binning and Scalable cannot operate at the same time.
5.20 Decimation
Cameras have 2 x 2 decimation, cameras read all effective areas at high speed by skipping lines.
When you set up a value of the one side for horizontal or vertical decimation, the other side of the
value is set up automatically.
*Decimation and Scalable cannot operate at the same time.
5.21 Reverse
Image can be flipped in horizontal and/or vertical direction.
5.22 Defect Pixel Correction
Defect Pixel Correction is available up to 256 pixels.
5.23 Image Buffer
Camera stores images temporarily in image buffer, and read them out in arbitrary timing.
5.24 User Free Memory
A free memory area is available to read and write arbitrary data for user. Individual numbers can be
assigned when multiple BU cameras are connected.
5.25 Test Pattern
Following test patterns are available.
Black : Full screen 0 LSB (@ 8-bit)
White : All pixels 255 LSB (@ 8-bit)
Grey A : Full screen 170 LSB (10101010B) (@ 8-bit)

- The recognition of the trigger signal depends on the length, characteristic or driving current of the
cable. Therefore please confirm your system about those conditions.
- Pin 3 is signal ground. It isn’t conducted with camera frame.
Using shield cable, terminal processing of the shield is referred as above.
- Please confirm the EMC adaptability in whole of your system.
- Depends on your PC or USB interface card configurations, images may not be captured normally
(e.g. dropping frames may occur). In this case, change to frame rate setting lower.
