Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision Camera Genie Monochrome Series Overview 5
Genie Monochrome Series
Overview
Description
The Genie monochrome camera family form a series of affordable, easy to use digital cameras specifically
engineered for industrial imaging applications. Genie cameras combine standard gigabit Ethernet technology with
the DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably capture and transfer images from the camera to
the host PC.
All Genie cameras are supported by DALSA Sapera™ LT software libraries featuring CamExpert for simplified
camera set-up and configuration. Sapera LT is field proven in thousands of robust industrial applications. Hardware
independent, Sapera LT delivers the same reliable performance regardless of the image acquisition device being
used. This unique feature allows OEM’s to start using the Genie without re-writing applications developed for
DALSA frame grabbers. In addition, Sapera LT includes powerful diagnostics and setup utilities for application
development, custom camera configurations and system deployment.

Genie Sensor Overview
Each sensor description below provides a specification table and response graphic. The graph describes the sensor
response to different wavelengths of light (excluding lens and light source characteristics). Visible light spans
wavelengths between about 390 - 780 nanometers. Wavelengths below 390 nm are termed ultra-violet while those
above 780 nm. are termed infra-red. The peak response is around 500 nanometers typical for each sensor model,
corresponding to a shade of blue-green.
