JAI GigE® Vision Camera operation manuals

To understand and operate this JAI GigE® Vision camera properly, JAI provides the following

manuals.

User’s manual (this booklet) Describes functions and operation of the hardware

JAI SDK & Control Tool User Guide Describes functions and operation of the Control Tool

JAI SDK Getting Started Guide Describes the network interface

User’s manual is available at www.jai.com

JAI SDK & Control Tool User Guide and JAI SDK Getting Started Guide are provided with the

JAI SDK which is available at www.jai.com.

Introduction

GigE Vision is the new standard interface using Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision

applications and it was mainly set up by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigE

Vision is capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an

inexpensive general purpose LAN cable for a long distance.

GigE Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is mainly set up by the EMVA

(European Machine Vision Association). The purpose of the GenICam standard is to provide a

common program interface for various machine vision cameras. By using GenICam, cameras

from different manufactures can seamlessly connect in one platform.

For details about the GigE Vision standard, please visit the AIA web site,

www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.

JAI GigE Vision cameras comply with both the GigE Vision standard and the GenICam standard.

Before using GigE Vision camera

All software products described in this manual pertain to the proper use of JAI GigE Vision

cameras. Product names mentioned in this manual are used only for the explanation of

operation. Registered trademarks or trademarks belong to their manufacturers.

To use the JAI SDK, it is necessary to accept the “Software license agreement” first.

This manual describes necessary equipment and the details of camera functions.

Software installation

The JAI GigE Vision SDK & Control Tool can be downloaded from the JAI web site at

www.jai.com. The JAI SDK is available for Windows XP and Vista, 32-bit and 64-bit.

For the details of software installation, please refer to the “Getting Started Guide” supplied

on the JAI SDK download page.

Camera Operation

1. General

The AT-140GE complies with GenICam Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) ver.1.3

and functions described in this booklet are described based on this standard.

The AT-140GE is a digital 3CCD progressive scan RGB color camera. It employs three 1/2-inch

1392 (h) x 1040 (v), 1.45 Megapixel CCDs and runs at 20 frames per second in full resolution

mode. The AT-140GE has a GigE Vision interface and its output can be either 24-bit or 30-bit

RGB. JAI developed a new 1/2-inch compact F4.0 prism optical system and in combination

with a linear color matrix, the AT-140GE provides a higher fidelity of color reproduction. The

AT-140GE also incorporates a dynamic shading circuit, gamma correction circuit and knee

correction circuit to provide high picture quality. Functions like AOI and vertical binning allow

higher frame rates.

The latest version of this manual can be downloaded from: www.jai.com

The latest version of the JAI GigE Vision SDK & Control Tool for the AT-140GE can be

downloaded from: www.jai.com

For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor.

2. Camera nomenclature

The standard camera composition consists of the camera main body and C-mount protection

cap.

The camera is available in the following versions:

AT-140GE

Where A stands for "Advanced" family, T stands for "3 CCD", 140 represents the resolution "1.4

million pixels" , and GE stands for "GigE Vision " interface.
