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
This manual covers the digital 2-CCD progressive scan multi-spectral camera AD-130GE.
The AD-130GE is a GigE Vision compliant camera, belonging to the JAI C3 Advanced family. The
AD-130GE employs 2 CCDs, one for Bayer color and the other for NIR monochrome utilizing
prism optics so that the AD-130GE can inspect the objects by visible color sensor and Near IR
sensor with the same angle of view.
The AD-130GE provides a frame rate of 31 frames/second at full resolution. Using partial scan,
the camera can achieve faster frame rates up to 145 fps (8 lines height).
The 1/3" CCDs with square pixels offer a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of
fast moving objects.
The camera features a built-in pre-processing function which includes blemish compensation,
shading compensation, Bayer to RGB interpolation, LUT/gamma correction and knee control.
The AD-130GE also complies with the GenICam standard and contains an internal XML file that
is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For further information about the
GigE Vision Standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and about GenICam, please
go to www.genicam.org.
As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit). This
SDK includes GigE Vision Filter Driver, JAI Control tool, software documentation and code
examples.
The JAI SDK can be downloaded from www.jai.com.
The latest version of this manual can be downloaded from www.jai.com
For camera revision history, please contact your local JAI distributor.
2. Camera nomenclature
