2-2 InGaAs Sensor’s Characteristic
InGaAs sensor has unique characteristics and limitations
accordingly, and while using SWIR camera you may see
the phenomenon as described below due to the sensor’s
characteristic and operating principles.
NOTE This chapter is describing about InGaAs sensor and
some of contents are not relevant to camera’s specification.
Blooming
When shooting a bright light source, the source of the
light may appear as a bright halo around the highlight.
Horizontal Smear
When shooting a bright light source, it may appear the
horizontal stripe.
Blooming & Horizontal Smear
Aliasing
It comes especially with continuous(geometrc) model
such as stripes, line, etc., and makes moire patterns
or jaggies in the image.
Defect Pixel
It is the pixel that does not have linearity in regard to
light intensity to video level. Generally, InGaAs sensor
has more defect pixels compared to Si Sensor.
Black Spot
This is the pixel that output luminance is lower than
surrounding pixels, and it is caused by that the
electron is leaked to the pixels top or down, left or
right.
White Spot
This is the pixel that output luminance is higher than
surrounding pixels, and it may appear with long
exposure.
Other Pixel Defect
・Several defect spots adjacent each other
(Cluster defect)
・Linearity of output luminance is considerably low
・Defect pixels appear on specific frame only
White Spot & Black Spot
Video Level & Light Intensity
White Pixel
Occasionally white pixel may appear caused by cosmic ray.
This comes with the principle of InGaAs sensor’s operation.
Horizontal Channel Difference
The sensor is able to output by 2 or 4 channels at once.
In case of this operation, it may cause luminance level
difference horizontally due to each channel’s performance.
This case is resolved by shading correction function.
Etc.,
In case of using the camera under one of below
environment, it may occur degradation of image quality.
・ Operation in high temperature
・ Gain offset
・ Long Exposure
NOTE
When the bright light source is exposed to the sensor, it
makes the image darker. Bright light direct exposure may
cause sensor damage. So, avoid the sensor to be exposed
such light or adjust the light intensity by lens.

The mounting adapter(Option) is required for mounting the
camera to the tripod or other places. As the mounting
adapter’s size is different per the camera’s size, it is
required to check the right model.
2-5-4 Cable Connection
①DC 12V
②RJ45
③DC Power Cable
④LAN Cable
⑤Camera Link SDR Connector
⑥Camera Link SDR Cable
Connect DC power cable to DC 12V connector and LAN
cable to RJ45 port. If you want to use GPIO, connect the
cables to the GPIO pins of the power connector.

2-6 Image Correction Functions
The camera performs various image corrections as shown
below.
NOTE
Analog Offset Gain function is not included.
2-7 Acquisition Control & Trigger
Acquisition Control is the function to control GPI/GPO
signal and exposure synchronization for triggering signal
to the camera. User can control the trigger and configure
IO easily.
Acquisition Control
By Acquisition Control, it starts and stops image
acquisition, controls frame rate & grabbing number of
frames, exposure time.
Digital IO Control
Digital IO Control is an upper layer organizing the
interfaces including Line, CC described below.
Line
Line is a control block for GPI, GPO signal.
NOTE ABL-010IR-CL is not supported.
CC
CC is a control block for CC1~4 via Camera Link interface.
It is equipped with CameraLink version camera only.
NOTE ABL-010IR-CL is supporting CC1 only.
Encoder
Encoder is a block for counting the signal coming from an
incremental 2channel encoder connected to Line 0,1 to
generate the trigger accordingly.
NOTE ABL-010IR-CL is not supported.
Trigger Signal Grid
Trigger signal grid is a BUS organizing the trigger signals
generated from other blocks.
Sensor’s exposure timing is controlled by the trigger signal
or camera’s settings. Our camera supports two exposure
mode as below.
・Timed Fixed exposure time mode
Exposure is controlled by according to
camera’s programmed setting.
・TriggerWidth Exposure is controlled by the trigger and
valid as much of the trigger’s pulse width.

3.Connection
3-1 GigE Setting
3-1-1 Network Setting
In order to connect the camera to the network, address of
the following items must be configured with the proper
value.
･IP Address
･Subnet Mask
･Default Gateway
Network address configuration can be done by one of the
following three methods.
･Use of Persistent IP
; User-specified IP
･Use of DHCP
; DHCP server automatically assigns IP
･Use of Link Local Address（LLA）
; Camera automaticallyassigns IP
Use of Persistent IP
In case IP address which will be used for the camera is
already fixed, Persistent IP can be used, and subnet mask
and default gateway setting should also be required.
Use of DHCP
The camera can be configured the IP address with DHCP
server. In case of DHCP mode, subnet mask and default
gateway configuration can also be done automatically.
Use of LLA
In case of not using Persistent IP and IP address cannot
be configured by DHCP server, the user can configure IP
by LLA mode as well. In this mode, IP is assigned as
169.254.XXX.ZZZ, and XXX and ZZZ are automatically
assigned.
In addition to the above items, following network setting
can be set.
・Packet Size
・Packet Delay
Packet Size
NOTE
It is possible to set the size per packet when the image
data is transmitted. In order to run the camera properly, the
packet size should be the same or less than MTU of the
network device.
Packet Delay
Packet delay is the time delay between when a packet of
data goes from one place to another, and the user can set
this value. If increasing packet delay, data bandwidth rate
can be reduced, and it may result in reducing frame rate
as well.
NOTE
Persistent IP address can be set arbitrarily. However,
depending on the host PC, it may not be able to detect the
camera. In this case, it requires to reset Persistent IP by
the tool forcing IP address.
Network Setting Reset
The network settings can be reset to the factory default
settings by turning DIP switch 2 ON and supplying power
on. After restarting the camera, be sure to set the DIP
switch 2 OFF.

3-2 CameraLink Configuration
3-2-1 Communication Settings
CameraLink camera is configured by RS-232C protocol
via serial port assigned to a CameraLink frame grabber.
It is done by asynchronous serial communication by start-
stop transmission and its transfer control specification is
indicated below. Echoback is activated against the
command input, and it does not matter to send the
commands start whether with uppercase or lowercase.

3-2-2 Camera Control Software
Camera parameter setting is done by sending commands
via serial interface, and it requires the installation of
software named Tera Term for serial communication.
3-2-3 Serial Port Configuration
After starting Tera Term, go up to Setup > Serial Port.
You'll see a window pop up with a lot of familiar looking
serial port settings. Adjust as shown below and click "OK".
・Port ：Comport number assigned to CameraLink
Interface
・Baud Rate ：115200bps(Camera Default)
・Data Bit ：8bit(Fixed)
・Parity ：N/A(Fixed)
・Stop Bit ：1bit(Fixed)
・Flow Control：N/A(Fixed)
3-2-4 Terminal Setup
Go to Setup menu and select Terminal on the menu, and
you will see the window as shown below, then set Receive
to CR+LF, Transmit to CR.
3-2-5 Connection Confirmation
When Tera Term setting is completed, hit Enter key. If the
Tera Term terminal window shows OK>, now it is all set to
communicate with the camera.

3-2-6 CameraLink Tap
The camera works at 25MHz when the camera is running
at 1Tap.
※ In case of ABL-010IR-CL, it is working at 45MHz when
1Tap setting.
Port Assignment
Assignment three ports A,B,C of CameraLink Base
configuration and video signal accordingly are described in
below table. Output Bit width is changing by the value of
the command “pixel-depth” or “bit”.
