1. Introduction
1.1. Series Introduction
The MARS 10GigE series (MARS-GT) camera is DAHENG IMAGING's latest area scan industrial digital
camera, featuring outstanding performance, powerful features, outstanding price/performance ratio. The
MARS-GT series cameras are available in a variety of resolutions and frame rates, and are available with
CMOS sensors from leading chip manufacturers.
The MARS-GT series digital camera transmits image data through the Ethernet interface, with a
transmission link speed up to 5Gbit/s, which significantly increases the transmission bandwidth of
traditional network cameras. Thanks to the locking screw connectors, the MARS series cameras can
secure the reliability of cameras deployed in harsh industrial environments. Featuring high reliability and
high price/performance ratio, the MARS series cameras are especially suitable for machine vision
applications such as industrial inspection, medical, scientific research, education, security and so on.
1.2. Naming Rules
Details of the MARS 10GigE series (MARS-GT) camera are given in the general specifications below.
Each camera model name is determined by its sensor's maximum resolution, maximum frame rate at
maximum resolution, the color/monochrome type of the sensor, etc.
Figure 1-1 Naming rules
1.3. About 10GigE
10GigE is also called 10GBASE-T in some fields. 10GBASE-T is an Ethernet specification that uses
copper twisted pair connection (super six or above [1]). The effective bandwidth of the data layer is
10Gbit/s. The IEEE standard corresponding to 10GBASE-T is 802.3an-2006.

1.Introduction
© 2023 China Daheng Group, Inc. Beijing Image Vision Technology Branch 2
GigE Vision has been using Gigabit Ethernet as the transmission interface since its release in 2006. With
the increase of sensor resolution and frame rate, the transmission link speed of Gigabit Ethernet has
gradually limited the GigE Vision camera. The transmission of MARS-GT camera is based on 10NBASE-
T technology, the maximum transmission link speed can up to 10Gbit/s, and supports link speed switching
to 1Gbit/s, which greatly improves the transmission link speed of network cameras and expands the
application field of cameras.
Due to the greatly improved transmission link speed, the power consumption of the 10GigE camera is
significantly increased compared with the GigE camera. The MARS-GT camera uses a unique heat
removal technology (passive heat removal technology), which maximizes the transmission capacity of the
camera in a limited volume, and makes the camera highly reliable and environmentally adaptable.
Currently, PCs generally do not support 10GigE transmission interfaces, so users need to purchase
10GigE network cards separately. The recommended models are IOIDGEAP2X-PCI8XG302 and IOI
GE10-PCIE4XG301. The network card generally requires the PCIE slot of the PC to be x4 gen3, dual port
network card requires a PCIE slot of x8, in order to achieve better acquisition results, the following settings
are recommended:
1) Support Jumbo Packet, the length of Jumbo Packet is at least 9014.
2) Set the network link speed to Auto Negotiation.
3) The receive buffer (RX Buffers) is at least 4096.
4) Set the stream control of RX and TX to on.
5) The receive descriptors (Number of RX Descriptors) is at least 2000 (Some network cards do not
have this setting)
1.4. Standards
The camera follows the GigE Vision 1.2 standard and the GEN<i>CAM3.0 standard.

1) CAT-6a cables or above with S/STP shielding are recommended.
2) Using shielded cable can avoid electro-magnetic interface. Shielding layer of the cable should conduct
to ground nearby and not until stretched too long. When many devices need conduct to ground, using
single point grounding to avoid earth loop.
3) Try to use camera cables that are the correct length. Avoid coiling camera cables. If the cables are
too long, use a meandering path rather than coiling the cables.
4) Keep your cameras away from equipment with high voltage, or high current (as motor, inverter, relay,
etc.). If necessary, use additional shielding.
5) ESD (electro-static discharge) may damage cameras permanently, so use suitable clothing (cotton)
and shoes, and touch the metal to discharge the electro-static before operating cameras.
2.4. Environmental Requirements
1) Housing temperature during operation: 0°C ~ 45°C, humidity during operation: 10% ~ 80%.
Storage temperature: -20°C ~ 70°C.
2) To avoid collecting dust in the optical filter, always keep the plastic cap on cameras when no lens is
mounted.
3) PC requirement: Intel Core i7 9th generation, main frequency of 2.9GHz or above, 16GB memory or
above, Win10 64bit OS or above.
4) NIC requirement: 10GigE NIC confirming to IEEE802.3an standard or higher performance NIC with

4.1. Explanation of Important Parameters
4.1.1. About Spectral Response
QE: Quantum efficiency, which is the ratio of the average number of photoelectrons produced per unit time
at a wavelength to the number of incident photons.
Sensitivity: The change of the sensor output signal relative to the incident light energy. The commonly
used sensitivity units are V/((W/m2) •s), V/lux •s, e-/((W/m2) •s) or DN/ ((W/m2) •s).
The spectral response graph given by different manufacturers are different. Some graphs' ordinate is
relative sensitivity response, and abscissa is wavelength. Some graphs' ordinate is QE, and abscissa is
wavelength.
