The Genie Nano-CXP (CoaXPress) series provides affordable easy to use digital cameras specifically
engineered for industrial imaging applications by using the industries’ latest leading sensors such
as the On-Semi Python series of global shutter active pixel-type CMOS image sensors. Cameras are
available in a number of models implementing different sensors, image resolutions and feature
sets, either in monochrome or monochrome NIR.
Nano-CXP supports the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably
capture and transfer images from the camera to the host PC.

Camera Firmware
Teledyne DALSA Genie Nano camera firmware contains open source software provided under
different open source software licenses. More information about these open source licenses can be
found in the documentation that accompanies the firmware, which is available on the Teledyne
DALSA website at www.teledynedalsa.com.
Firmware updates for Genie Nano are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA web site
www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/support/downloads. Choose Genie Nano-CXP Firmware from the
available download sections, then choose the zip file download specific to your camera model.
When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see Updating Firmware via
File Access in CamExpert). The Camera firmware can also be easily upgrade/downgrade within your
own application via the API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents unrecoverable
camera errors even in the case of a power interruption.

Hardware and Software Environments
The following describes suggested hardware and supported software for successful imaging
systems using the Nano-CXP.
Mounting
The Nano-CXP requires a mounting platform which includes camera heatsinking. Thermal
management and heat dissipation is mandatory to ensure the camera remains within the stated
operating temperature specification. See section Mechanical Specifications with M42 Mount: for the
location of the camera mounting screw holes.
Frame Grabbers and Cabling
The Teledyne DALSA Xtium-CXP PX8 and Xtium2-CXP PX8 frame grabbers are recommended for
error free acquisitions with the Nano-CXP camera (contact sales for additional information).

Defective Pixel Specification for Models 5100/4090
These defective pixel specifications in the following table are as published by the sensor
manufacturer. Genie Nano cameras apply defective pixel corrections to improve the camera
performance.
Defective Pixels
(max: 1000)
Number of defective pixels allowed in the full window size of 5120 x 5120
(i.e. model 5100).
For mono devices: A defective pixel is defined as a pixel which has a response that
deviates 102 LSB10 in a dark image or a corrected gray image, or a saturated image,
from the local median of the neighboring pixels in a 7 x 7 block.
The defective pixels in dark, gray and saturated images are stored a in a global defect
map. The limit is applied to the global defect map.
Defective Column
0 defective columns allowed
Number of defective columns in the full window size of 5120 x 5120 derived from dark,
half scale and saturated image.
For Mono devices: A bad column is defined as a column which has a response that
deviates 48 LSB10 in a dark image, or a corrected gray or a saturated image, from the
local median of 11 neighboring columns (+/- 5 left/right columns).
Defective Row
0 defective rows allowed
Number of defective rows in the full window size of 5120 x 5120 derived from dark,
half scale and saturated image.
For Mono devices: A bad row is defined as a row which has a response that deviates 48
LSB10 in a dark image, or a corrected gray or a saturated image, from the local
median of 11 neighboring rows (+/- 5 top/bottom rows).
continued next page

Genie Nano-CXP Series™ Nano-CXP Specifications •17
Defective Cluster Definition
Number of clusters allowed in the full window size of 5120 X 5120. A cluster is defined
as a group of neighboring defective pixels (top, Bottom side, not diagonal), derived
from the global defect map.
For color devices: The pixels are divided per color channels (R, G1, G2, B) and then
calculated with the same methodology as mono devices.
Refer to the graphic below:
The number of defective pixels in one cluster is the class (F) of the cluster:
F2 (max 5): 2 defective pixels in the cluster
F3 (max 4): 3 defective pixels in the cluster
F4 (max 3): 4 defective pixels in the cluster
F5 (max 0): 5 or more defective pixels in the cluster
