Safety requirements
•The customer is responsible for light source safety while
using a camera as a standalone device or integrated into
system.
•The customer must consider protective measures if
necessary.
•While assembling or operating camera, do not stare at the
direct laser (or other source) light even with safety goggles.
•This device will not protect you from direct or high light
radiation. Use camera with caution and appropriate
attenuation
•Electrical safety requirements must be complied while
operating this device.!

About
The near infrared CONTOUR IR Digital camera is designed for
observation, registration and recording radiation in near infrared
zone in 400-1700 nm spectral region emitted by infrared sources
such as GaAs IR LED, diode or solid-state lasers as well as for
use in infrared microscopy, infrared luminescence, examination
of documents, forensics, art restoration and etc.
The camera is based on the newest technology CMOS sensor
with increased sensitivity, micro lenses on photo cells and
intensifying cascades in each element. Camera is connected to
PC via USB 2.0 (USB 3.0) cable.
Operation
CAUTION! Do not use direct powerful laser radiation on a
sensor.
CAUTION! Use filters, attenuators or beam splitters to decrease
of laser radiation.
1. Install the camera driver and software from CD.
2. Connect camera to PC.
3. Start software on PC.
4. Open EVScap program.
5. Observing the image on monitor, focus the objective lens of
the camera. If necessary, switch on/off automatic control,
arrange parameters of the camera (brightness, contrast,
saturation, factor of scale - correction) "

in properties of software (see “help” files), and also if it is
required to change a format of the image (1280х1024 or
640х480) or refresh rate (7Hz, 15Hz, 30Hz and 60Hz). To get
a direct values characteristic for photometric measurements,
adjust scale-correction and switch ON Scale to 1 (scale=1).
6. For low power infrared illumination observation decrease
any external light background to increase noise to signal
contrast. Use cut-off or interference filters for better contrast.
PC requirements
•Processor Pentium-3 at least 1 GHz, or Pentium-4 at least 1.6
GHz.
•At least 256 MB RAM
•USB 2.0 (USB 3.0) port
•OS Microsoft WIN/ME (USB 2.0 Host, root concentrators and
Direct-X drivers shall be installed), or WIN/XP (Service Pack
2).

Software set and features
•WDM driver suitable for Windows XP/7 (32, 64bit).
•Use EVSCAP software for single picture capture and AMCAP
software for video recording.
•The Contour-IR digital camera is supplied with software
controlling following functions: exposure time, gain factor,
gamma correction and etc.
•The electronic shutter is in the Rolling Shutter. The operation
in pulse mode with short exposures is useless – there will be
visible just one or several lines of the entire frame.
•Gain factor is 30 dB.
•Gamma correction can be deactivated from the driver
bookmark.
•There is no external synchronisation.
•Uncompressed video record function is available.
Applications development by
the customer
The Contour-IR digital camera is supplied with the WDM driver
that implements the Microsoft Direct Show technology, which is
the Windows SDK (Microsoft Direct X) component.
>> Download Windows SDK here

(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?
id=24826)
It allows working with a large array of commercial and free-ware
software, supports technology, such as Ulead Video Studio,
Adobe Premier, AmCap, VirtualDub and etc.
For personal applications development, the customer has to use
Microsoft Windows SDK or SDK catalogue available in the
supplied CD.
The Maintenance instruction
•Keep device away from mechanical damage and moisture.
•Protect the lenses from dirt. If necessary, clean them with
clean soft cloth; remove oiled spots or deposit with cotton
wool slightly wetted in alcohol.
