Introduction This AVT Prosilica GC Technical Manual describes in depth the technical specifications of this camera family including dimensions, feature overview, I/O definition, trigger timing waveforms, frame rate performance, etc. For information on software installation read the AVT GigE Installation Manual. For detailed information on camera features and controls refer to the AVT Prosilica GigE Camera and Driver Attributes document. AVT Prosilica GC literature: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
Symbols used in this manual This symbol highlights important information This symbol highlights important instructions. You have to follow these instructions to avoid malfunctions. This symbol highlights URLs for further information. The URL itself is shown in blue. Example: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com Warranty Allied Vision Technologies Canada provides a 2 year warranty which covers the replacement and repair of all AVT parts which are found to be defective in the normal use of this product.
Precautions DO NOT OPEN THE CAMERA. WARRANTY IS VOID IF CAMERA IS OPENED. This camera contains sensitive components which can be damaged if handled incorrectly. KEEP SHIPPING MATERIAL. Poor packaging of this product can cause damage during shipping. VERIFY ALL EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS. Verify all external connections in terms of voltage levels, power requirements, voltage polarity, and signal integrity prior to powering this device. CLEANING. This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning agents.
Cleaning the sensor DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY Identifying Debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point. Locating Debris Before attempting to clean the image sensor, it is important to first determine that the problem is due to debris on the sensor window.
Conformity Allied Vision Technologies declares under its sole responsibility that all standard cameras of the AVT Prosilica GC family to which this declaration relates are in conformity with the following standard(s) or other normative document(s): • CE, following the provisions of 2004/108/EG directive • FCC Part 15 Class A • RoHS (2002/95/EC) We declare, under our sole responsibility, that the previously described AVT Prosilica GC cameras conform to the directives of the CE.

Camera attribute highlights AVT GigE cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies the most interesting capabilities of this camera family. A complete listing of GigE camera controls, including control definitions can be found in the AVT Prosilica GigE Camera and Driver Attributes document: AVT Prosilica GigE Camera and Driver Attributes document online: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
IR cut filter: spectral transmission All Prosilica GC color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR filter). This filter is employed to stop infrared wavelength photons from passing to the imaging device. If the filter is removed, images will be dominated by red and cannot be properly color balanced. Monochrome Prosilica GC cameras do not employ an IR filter. The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC filter family from Sunex. The cameras utilize the IRC30 filter.
Camera dimensions The Prosilica GC camera family offers both CCD and CMOS sensor models. CCD cameras utilize additional circuitry required for A/D conversion. As a result, CMOS models offer a shorter mechanical package then CCD models. Prosilica GC CMOS models GC750/750C, GC1280 Figure 29: Prosilica GC CMOS models mechanical dimensions AVT Prosilica GC Technical Manual V2.0.

Tripod adapter A Prosilica GC camera can be mounted on a camera tripod by using this mounting plate. The same mounting plate can be used for all models within the GC camera family. The Prosilica GC tripod mount can be provided by AVT P/N: 02-5002A Figure 31: Prosilica GC tripod mount mechanical drawing AVT Prosilica GC Technical Manual V2.0.
Adjustment of lens mount 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. Figure 32: Prosilica GC camera front view Loosen Locking Ring Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the camera face.
Camera interfaces This chapter gives you information on Gigabit Ethernet port, inputs and outputs and trigger features. For accessories like cables see: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/accessories/gigeaccessories.html Figure 33: Prosilica GC connection diagram AVT Prosilica GC Technical Manual V2.0.

External Power The Prosilica GC camera family has recently been updated to offer an expanded input power voltage range. The camera serial number is used to differentiate between cameras that offer 5-16 VDC and those that offer 5-25 VDC. SN: 02-XXXXX-0XXXX, 5V - 16V. 12V Nominal. SN: 02-XXXXX-1XXXX, 5V - 25V. 12V Nominal. To find more information about the power voltage range update for the Prosilica GC family, follow this link: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
Camera Out 1 and Camera Out 2 These signals only function as outputs and can be configured as follows: Exposing Corresponds to when camera is integrating light. Trigger Ready Indicates when the camera will accept a trigger signal. Trigger Input A relay of the trigger input signal used to “daisy chain” the trigger signal for multiple cameras. Readout Valid when camera is reading out data. Imaging Valid when camera is exposing or reading out.
Reserved These signals are reserved for future use and should be left disconnected. Gigabit Ethernet Port The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. We recommend using Category 5e or Category 6 compatible cabling and connectors for best performance. • Cable lengths up to 100 m are supported. • The 8-pin RJ-45 jack has the pin assignment according to the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T).

Signal definitions Term Definition User Trigger Trigger signal applied by the user (hardware trigger, software trigger) Logic Trigger Trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic (not visible to the user) Tpd Propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger Exposure High when the camera image sensor is integrating light. Readout High when the camera image sensor is reading out data.
Trigger rules The User Trigger pulse width should be at least three times the width of the Trigger Latency as indicated in Chapter Specifications on page 12. • The end of Exposure will always trigger the next Readout. • The end of Exposure must always end after the current Readout. • The start of Exposure must always correspond with the Interline Time if Readout is true. • Expose Start Delay equals the Readout time minus the Registered Exposure Time.
Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the Ethernet connection. AVT provides prov an application for all AVT GigE cameras which 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 an and d complete the firmware update if necessary. Download the latest GigE firmware loader from the AVT website: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
Resolution and ROI frame rates This section aims to provide users with performance information which identifies the impact of reducing the region of interest on the camera’s maximum frame rate. • The camera frame rate can be increased by reducing the camera's Height attribute, resulting in a decreased region of interest (ROI) or "window".
