Introduction1.
The CMOS high speed camera HXC13 is a high resolution camera with 1280x1024 pixel.
Benets of CMOS technology are high speed, random access to pixels with free program-
mability and low power.
The camera uses industry-standard C-Mount, F-Mount or M42 lenses. The sensor diago-
nal is 22.9 mm with square pixels measuring 14 µm.
Free programmability means that the user is free to dene the region of interest (ROI) by
size and position and the speed of data output. The frame rate can be selected between
1 fps and several thousand fps depending on resolution and video data width.
With a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixel, 500 fps can be output via the “Full CameraLink®”
Interface.

Electronic"FreezeFrame"Shutter1.2.
Preceding exposure, the contents of all light sensitive elements is cleared. When ex-
posure terminates, accumulated charge is transferred to an analog memory associated
which each pixel. It stays there until it is read out (and discharged) by the A/D conversion
cycle.
As all light sensitive elements are exposed at the same time, even fast moving objects are
captured without geometric distortion.

CameraLink2.2. ®Interface
CameraLink® is designed for digital cameras in machine vision applications. A "Full Cam-
eraLink®" interface can transfer up to 80 bits of data at a rate of max. 680 Mbytes/sec.
SerialInterface2.3.
The communication via the serial interface is incorporated in the "Base CameraLink® "
interface.

Notice
Before applying power to the camera we strongly recommend to verify the used pins of
the power connector, the polarity (+/-) of the leads and the supply voltage.
The camera may only be used with a supply voltage according to the camera speci-
cation (8 VDC .. 24 VDC). Connecting a lower or higher supply voltage, AC voltage,
reversal polarity or using wrong pins of the power connector may damage the camera.
If doing so, the warranty will expire immediately.

LEDSignaling2.5.
The operation conditions of the camera are signaled by the dual color LED on the
backside of the camera.
LED
Signal Meaning
off Camera is de-energized.▪
If LED is off, despite the camera is powered, data is stored to the ▪
internal EEPROM.
No (other) activity is possible.
yellow The camera is conguring the internal FPGA.
No other activity is possible.
green The camera is fully operational.
red The camera's microcontroller detected a conguration error.▪
The camera's FPGA could not be loaded.▪
The camera is not functional. Try reload conguration data.
red ash The camera's microcontroller or FPGA is loading data.▪
Camera veries checksum.▪
No other activity is possible.
