TERMINOLOGY
Defective pixels – these are pixels whose sensitivity deviates due to fluctuations in the CMOS
manufacturing process and materials.
Fast trigger mode – a camera exposes a frame and then exposes the next frame while reading
out the previous frame. In this way, the camera overlaps the exposure and readout times. Fast
trigger mode requires a predictable and stable trigger period. The TriggerOverlap setting is On.
Free-running mode – a camera runs without synchronization to an external trigger pulse
(untriggered mode).
Hot pixels – these are pixels that in normal camera operation behave as normal pixels (sensitivity
equal to one of the adjacent pixels). But during long exposures or at elevated temperatures, the
pixel becomes far brighter than the average of the pixels surrounding it. In some cases, the pixel
becomes so bright that it saturates.
Standard trigger mode – a camera waits for a trigger pulse, then exposes using an internal
exposure timer and reads out a frame and waits for next trigger pulse. The exposure and readout
do not overlap. The TriggerOverlap setting is Off.
Trigger mode – a camera waits for a trigger pulse to start the image capture, synchronizing it to
either an internal or external event.
AEC – Automatic exposure control
AGC – Automatic gain control
AOI – Area of interest
AWB – Automatic white balance
DPC – Defective pixel correction
FFC – Flat field correction
HPC –Hot pixel correction
LUT – Look-up table
SFP – Small Form-factor Pluggable

About the Camera
General
The 10 GigE Vision SFP+ Cheetah CMOS cameras are built around advanced Sony Pregius CMOS
image sensors with global shutter for high quality images in a small ruggedized form factor.
Cheetah cameras are progressive scan digital cameras featuring a built-in image-processing
engine, low power consumption, low noise, high dynamic range (71 dB), and fast frame rates for
high throughput applications.
The cameras provide several trigger modes and output strobes allowing you to synchronize the
image capture of one or more cameras to an external event. You can vary exposure times using
internal controls or an external pulse width.
The cameras also provide an area of interest (AOI), programmable look-up tables (LUT) and the
ability to store up to four different camera configurations. Using the simple GenICam™ compliant
user interface, you can quickly change the camera configuration. User-defined LUT capabilities
optimize the cameras’ dynamic range. Hot and defective pixel correction is available to correct
over-responding or under-responding pixels.
The cameras are suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions and applications, such as
machine vision, industrial inspection, surveillance, aerospace, and more.
The C5440, C4440, and C6440 cameras feature 17 MP, 20 MP, and 31 MP Sony Pregius CMOS
sensors respectively, provide support for active Canon EOS lens with iris and focus controls.

Technical Support
Each camera is fully tested before shipping. If, for some reason, the camera is not operational
after power up, check the following:
1. Check the power supply, Ethernet, and all I/O cables.
Make sure that all the connectors are firmly attached.
2. Check the status LED and verify that it is steady ON, if not – refer to the section Camera LED
Status Indicator.
3. Enable the test mode and verify that the communication between a computer and the
camera is established.
If the test pattern is not present, power off the camera, check all the cabling, frame grabber settings,
and computer status.
If you still have problems with the camera operation, contact technical support at:

•an open SFP+ slot providing data, control, and serial interface. The SFP+ slot accepts a
variety of transceiver modules, including Fiber 10GBase-R and copper 10GBase-T.
•male 12-pin Hirose miniature locking receptacle #HR10A-10R-12PB(71) providing power
input and I/O interface. Use a female Hirose miniature locking plug #HR10A-10P-12S(73) on
the mating end of your I/O cable
•a camera status LED indicator
•USB type B programming/SPI connector for factory use only
•the camera’s model and serial number
The camera transmits serialized video data output and communications over the 10 Gigabit
Ethernet interface with consistently low, predictable latencies. The network interface is
compatible with IP/Ethernet networks operating at 10 gigabits per second.

10GBase-SR Multi-Mode Fiber Example
Below is an example of a 10GBase-SR SFP+ 850 nm Multi-mode Fiber Transceiver module
(p/# FS SFP-10GSR-85) with 300 m range compatible with the Imperx SFP camera.
For optimal performance, Imperx recommends a 10G Network Interface Card with SFP+ slot.
Imperx has tested and recommends the Intel 82599EN Single-Port 10G SFP+ PCie 2.0 x8,
Ethernet Network Interface card shown below.
Available for purchase; contact Imperx sales: [e-mail] or [phone].
For a multi-mode fiber optic connection, both the Imperx SFP camera and the NIC card must
have a 10GBase-SR SFP+ Multi-mode Fiber Transceiver installed like the one shown above.

10GBase-T Copper Example
Below is an example of a Cisco SFP-10G-T-S Compatible, 10GBase-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver
with RJ-45 connector.
Imperx recommends an Intel X540-T1 or X550-T1 10Gb NIC card or equivalent. For example, the
10Gb PCI-E NIC Card with single copper RJ45 Port from 10Gtek as shown below.
After installation of the 10GBase-T SFP+ Copper Transceiver, the SFP camera can be connected
to any 10GigE compatible NIC or Server using standard LAN CAT-5 (CAT-5e) or CAT-6 cables.
Shielded cables are recommended. The cable length can vary based on the SFP+ module
transceiver. For example, the above transceiver is suitable for distances up to 30 m.
To help clients achieve first iteration success, Imperx offers a variety of transceiver modules and
a 10G SFP+ NIC card for sale which have been tested together. Contact Imperx sales department
for more information: [e-mail] or [phone].
