Introduction Introduction This AVT Prosilica GE Technical Manual describes in depth the technical specifications of the Prosilica GE camera family including dimensions, feature overview, I/O definition, trigger timing waveforms, and frame rate performance. For information on software installation read the AVT GigE Installation Manual.
Introduction Version Date Remarks V2.0.
Introduction www This symbol highlights URLs for further information. The URL itself is shown in blue. Example: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com Precautions Caution Do not disassemble the camera housing. Warranty is void if camera has been disassembled. This camera contains sensitive internal components. Caution Keep shipping material. Poor packaging of the product may cause damage during shipping. Caution Verify all external connections.
Introduction Cleaning optics Caution Caution AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components. Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers can damage fragile optical coatings. Identifying debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened area or smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which appears as a distinct point.
Introduction Note A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available for purchase from AVT. AVT P/N: E9020001 Cleaning with air Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean compressed air. Caution Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approximately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt the can, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden cold air can crack the optic glass. View a live image with the camera after blowing.

Camera attribute highlights Camera attribute highlights AVT cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies a selection of interesting capabilities of the Prosilica GE camera family.
Filters Filters All Prosilica GE color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR filter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from passing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced. Monochrome cameras do not employ an IR filter. The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC30 filter employed in the Prosilica GE cameras.

Camera dimensions Adjustment of C-Mount www Prosilica GE cameras are shipped with an adjustable C-Mount, F-Mount, or CS-Mount depending on sensor size and camera order code. See AVT Modular Concept for more information: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/us/support/downloads/ product-literature/avt-modular-concept.html The C-Mount or CS-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting. If for some reason the lens mount requires adjustment, use the following method.
Camera dimensions Adjustment of F-Mount The F-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting. If for some reason, the lens mount requires adjustment, use the following method. M3 SET SCREW: 3 PLACES F-MOUNT FRONT ASSEMBLY Figure 27: Prosilica GE F-Mount isometric view Attach F-Mount compatible lens Use an F-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus. Attach the lens to the camera using a counter-clockwise rotation of about a quarter turn.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces This chapter provides information on Gigabit Ethernet port, inputs and outputs, and trigger features. www For more information on GigE accessories: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/ accessories/gige-accessories.
Camera interfaces Gigabit Ethernet port The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. AVT recommends using Category 6 or higher compatible cabling and connectors for best performance. www www Note The AVT GigE Installation Manual offers detailed instructions for using Prosilica GE cameras. http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/fileadmin/content/PDF/ Products/Technical_Manual/GigE_Install_Manual/ AVT_GigE_Installation_Manual.

Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera power The Prosilica GE camera family supports a wide input power voltage range. The camera will not power in reverse polarity. Exceeding the voltage range specified below will damage the camera. Caution 5–24 V. 12 V nominal. Note A 12 V power adapter with barrel connector is available for purchase from AVT: • • P/N 02-8005C North America Supply. P/N 02-8010C Universal Supply.
Camera interfaces Caution Do not exceed 5.5 V on In 1. The Mini-SMB trigger input is internally connected to the In 1 of the general purpose I/O port. The Mini-SMB port on the camera uses an Amphenol 903406J-51R connector. A suitable mating cable connector is Amp 413985-3 which can be used with RG174 coaxial cable. Note SMB to SMB cables is available for purchase from AVT with various lengths.
Camera interfaces Out 2 and Out 3 Out 2 and Out 3 can be configured to active high or active low.

Firmware update Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. AVT provides an application for all Prosilica GE cameras that loads firmware to the camera using a simple interface. New feature introductions and product improvements motivate new firmware releases. All users are encouraged to use the newest firmware available and complete the firmware update if necessary. www Download the latest GigE firmware loader from the AVT website: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
Resolution and ROI frame rates Resolution and ROI frame rates This section provides the performance information which identifies the impact of reducing the region of interest on the camera’s maximum frame rate. Note • • • • Frame rate data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124 MB/s and an 8 bit pixel format such as Mono8, BayerGR8, or BayerRG8.
