reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

Introduction
EMVA 1288
With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used
together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.
EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random
noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel
output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames.
Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS
variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR
measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test
parameters, means that all manufacturers’ are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested
parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.
In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org
Interface
The SP-20000-USB employs a USB 3.0 interface and is in the process of being certified for compliance
with the USB3 Vision standard. USB3 Vision is a new standard interface for machine vision applications
being developed and managed by the AIA (Automated Imaging Association). USB3 Vision uses USB 3.0
ports that will soon be standard on most PCs (with Windows 7 service pack and Windows 8 native support
expected soon). Components from different manufacturers will easily communicate with each other.
USB3 Vision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is managed 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 manufacturers can
seamlessly connect in one platform.
The maximum transfer speed of USB 3.0 is specified at 5.0 Gbps, however effective bandwidth is reduced
by a number of factors including pixel format conversions and the physical interface components used.
The USB3 Vision standard specifies a bandwidth of 2.8 Gbps or greater. Maximum cable length for passive
cables is five meters, but this can be made longer using active cables.
As for the USB connector, SP-20000-USB uses a Micro B connector which complies with USB3.0. This
connector has an additional 5-pin plug “stacked” on the side of a standard USB 2.0 Micro B connector.
However, USB 2.0 cannot be used with the SP-20000-USB.
Power supply
Although the USB 3.0 interface is capable of supporting both data and power, the power supplied through
the interface is not sufficient to operate the camera. A separate power supply unit must be connected to
the 12-pin connector.
Computer used for SP-20000-USB series
It is necessary to use a PC equippped with a USB 3.0 interface. It is also recommended to use a PC
equipped with slots of better than PC Express 2.0 x 8. Please note that the SP-20000-USB may not work
properly depending on the chipset used in the PC.

1. General
The SP-20000-USB cameras are members of JAI’s new “Spark Series.”They provide both high resolution
and a high frame rate with excellent image quality for machine vision applications. The SP-20000M-USB
is a monochrome progressive scan COMS camera and the SP-20000C-USB is the equivalent Bayer mosaic
progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped with CMOS sensors offering a 35 mm full size image
format, a resolution of 20 million pixels, and a 4:3 aspect ratio. They provide 16 frames per second for
continuous scanning with 5120 x 3480 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.
8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit outputs can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The new
cameras feature a USB3 Vision interface. A full pixel readout or partial scan readout mode can be
selected depending on applications.
The SP-20000-USB has various comprehensive functions needed for automated optical inspection
applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They incorporate video
processing functions such as a look-up table, flat field shading compensation and blemish compensation
in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and video level control.

5. Input and output
5.1 USB 3.0 Interface specifications
The SP-20000-USB employs a USB 3.0 interface for video and data transfer. USB 3.0 is an upgraded
version of USB 2.0 widely used in the industry. Its transfer rate is 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than
the 480 Mbps rate of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 employs full-duplex system which executes both transmitting
and receiving at the same time. USB 3.0 has downward compatibility to USB 2.0 but in the SP-20000-USB,
USB 2.0 cannot be used because the performance is not guaranteed.
The connector used for USB 3.0 in the SP-20000-USB is a Micro B Type connector with a USB 3.0 form
factor.

5.3.6 GPIO
GPIO is a general interface for input and output and controls the I/O for trigger signals and other valid
signals and pulse generators. By using this interface you can control an external light source, make a
delay function for an external trigger signal, or make a precise exposure setting together with a PWC
trigger.
5.3.6.1 Basic block diagram
The basic block diagram is as follows.
In the SP-20000-USB, the pixel clock is 40 MHz.

5.4 Optical Interface
SP-20000-USB is equipped with opto-isolated inputs and outputs, providing galvanic separation between
the camera’s inputs/outputs and peripheral equipment.
In addition to galvanic separation, the opto-isolated inputs and outputs can cope with a wide range of
voltages; the voltage range for inputs is +3.3V to +24V DC whereas outputs will handle +5V to +24V DC.
The following drawing is the concept of photo coupler
