3. Key features
The DS-CAM-600 is a high-speed Gigabit-Ethernet camera with following key data:
●Up to 600 FPS @ VGA (640x480) or 333 FPS @ 2048 x 1088
●Real-time data streaming with full resolution
●Monochrome (DS-CAM-600m), color (DS-CAM-600c) and color waterproof (DS-CAM-600cw)
version
●Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
●Real-time JPEG compression
●Auto-white balance
●Triggered and free-run synchronization modes
●Adjustable shutter time
●Standard C-mount lens mounting
●Small compact form factor
●Rugged aluminium housing (high shock and vibration resistance)
The camera supports the high-performance industrial standard “GigE Vision”. The standard introduced
in 2006 provides a framework for transmitting high-speed video and related control over Ethernet
networks.
The benefits of the GigE Vision protocol are:
●High speed data transfer rates up to 1GBit/s (based on 1000Base-T),
●Connectible to every standard GigE Ethernet port,
●Cable lengths up to 100m.
DewesoftX® uses OptoStream SDK for communication with cameras that support GigE Vision standard.
Important
For best performance we recommend using a Core i5 CPU or higher performance and at least
4 GB RAM and internal SSD for storing data.
3.1. System Requirements
●1 Gigabit-Ethernet port
●High-performance PC (Core i5 CPU or better recommended, 4 GB RAM and high performance
SSD storage disc)
●DewesoftX®
●The latest OptoStream SDK
●Dewesoft GigE driver (cdv)

Hint
Pin 3 and pin 4 are used for clocking the camera. Pins 1 and 2 are reserved for synching
multiple Dewesoft instruments!
4.3.2. SIRIUS® connection example
The picture below shows a typical camera connection with SIRIUS® (the top slice) and SIRIUS-SBOX (the
bottom slice) instrument is shown..
The camera has to be powered by RJ45 - PoE (Power over Ethernet), therefore a Power injector is
required (Gigabit-LAN port of computer → PoE injector → camera).

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
The second cable (L00B4m-L00B4m-xM) provides the trigger. It is connected to the SYNC port of the
SIRIUS® slice and IO connector on the DS-CAM-600. With this connection the camera frames will be in
perfect sync with the analog data acquired by DewesoftX®.
Hint
Even if the camera is connected, synching to other SIRIUS® devices is still possible, because
there are different pins used on the Sync-Connector for triggering/synching (see also IO
connector pinout).

4.3.3. KRYPTON® connection example
The picture below of a typical camera connection with KRYPTON® device, SYNC Junction and
KRYPTON-CPU is shown.
The camera has to be powered by RJ45 - PoE (Power over Ethernet), therefore a Power injector is
required (Gigabit-LAN port of computer → PoE injector → camera).
The second cable (L00B4m-L00B4m-xM) provides the trigger. It is connected to the SYNC port of the
SYNC Junction and IO connector on the DS-CAM-600. With this connection the camera frames will be in
perfect sync with the analog data acquired by DewesoftX® running on the Krypton CPU.

STANDARD RESOLUTIONS
Hint
Results (FPS) should be considered only as approximate MAX values. It depends on the system
performance (CPU, JPEG compression, harddisk). We recommend to test cameras with your
setup at about 0.8*max_FPS and higher to find where corrupted image, frame loss or buffer
overrun will occur.

5. Installation
5.1. DewesoftX® full installer
For DewesoftX® all the drivers come with the full installer, if you select the option “GigE camera driver”
during installation. To check if the drivers are installed, go to Options → Installed extensions and see if the
checkbox “GigE” is visible. If not, execute the full installer again, choose the Modify option and enable
the checkbox of GigE camera.
Illustration 6: Installation

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
5.2.2. Step-by-step instruction
1st step: Install OptoMotive_OptoStreamSDK
Note that you must be an administrator, not just a user with admin rights! Restart the PC after
installation is complete. After reboot be sure that “OptoStream GEM Filter Driver” is installed (picture 1)
under Local area Connection Properties.
Hint
Note that “Filter Driver” filters out all packets that are not GigE on hardware level, so the
camera will work much faster than without the filter.

2nd step: Connect camera to PC via Ethernet cable and PoE Power Injector in between

3rd step: Assigning IP address to camera
The DS-CAM-600 supports DHCP, so just set your computer's IP address to automatic and wait until the
IP is assigned. To test if the camera is working you can run OptoStreamViewer. By right-clicking on the
camera model you can also set IP to fix, if you prefer.
Illustration 9: OK, cameras can be used, close the OptoStreamViewer and start DewesoftX®.
Important
Avoid using OptoStreamViewer and DewesoftX® in parallel.
4th step
To enable the camera in DewesoftX® copy the file “GigECamera.cdv” into the Dewesoft Addons folder,
usually located in “C:\DewesoftX\Bin64\Addons64\GigeCam”.
5th step
Run the "Dewesoft DCOM Registration” to register the plugin.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
6th step
Start DewesoftX® and go to Options → Settings → Analog. For triggered mode (DewesoftX® is clocking
the camera), check if your device (such as DEWE-43 for example) is set to Automatic or Clock/Trigger:
Illustration 11: Options → Settings: Set device to Automatic (Standalone) or Clock/Trigger
7th step
Go to the GigE tab and set “Use trigger”.
Illustration 12: DewesoftX® hardware setup, add GigE.
“File format” should be set to “DVI” which is uncompressed DewesoftX® video format. The CPU will not
have enough power to additionally do the “live” compression. Depending on the measurement
duration, the video file can get very big. For compression after the measurement set the appropriate
compressor in “AVI file type for compression”. We recommend downloading the XVID codec. In Analysis
mode you can then select your datafile and click “AVI compress”.

8th step
Go to Ch. Setup, click the Video tab, click the Unused button to enable the video channel.
Illustration 14: DewesoftX® Channel setup → add Video
Hint
Ensure the firmware version of Dewesoft hardware is up to date, otherwise follow the
instructions of how to do it in the Updating firmware article.

9th step
Enter the channel setup. By now, already a picture should be shown.
Illustration 15: DewesoftX® video channel setup
●The shutter bar determines the light exposure duration (brightness).
●If the light is too dark, use the gain bar to increase brightness by software.
●The JPEG quality is inversely to the compression. 80% means good quality, low compression.
Illustration 16: Poor and good picture quality
●With the HDR option you are able to increase the dynamic from 60 up to 120dB if you have an
image with low dynamic range (e.g. only light grey and dark grey shapes).
●To improve the performance if using the camera on an Ethernet switch, use “Optimize for
switched network”
