Genie HM/HC Series Overview 
Description 
The Genie HM/HC camera family form a series of affordable, easy to use digital cameras specifically engineered for 
industrial imaging applications requiring high frame rates. Genie cameras combine standard gigabit Ethernet 
technology with the DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably capture and transfer images 
from the camera to the host PC. 
The Genie HM camera series provides monochrome acquisition while the HC camera series, using the same sensor 
with a Bayer filter, provides color acquisition. 
All Genie cameras are supported by DALSA Sapera™ LT software libraries featuring CamExpert for simplified 
camera set-up and configuration. Sapera LT is field proven in thousands of robust industrial applications. Hardware 
independent, Sapera LT delivers the same reliable performance regardless of the image acquisition device being 
used. This unique feature allows OEM’s to start using the Genie without re-writing applications developed for 
DALSA frame grabbers. In addition, Sapera LT includes powerful diagnostics and setup utilities for application 
development, custom camera configurations and system deployment.
