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
GigEVision is a standard interface which uses Gigabit Ethernet for machine vision applications. It
was developed primarily by AIA (Automated Imaging Association) members. GigEVision is capable
of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed image data through an inexpensive general
purpose LAN cable over long distances.
GigEVision also supports the GenICamTM standard which is maintained 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 GigEVision standard, please visit the AIA web
site, www.machinevisiononline.org and for GenICam, the EMVA web site, www.genicam.org.
JAI GigEVision cameras comply with both the GigEVision standard and the GenICam standard.
Before using GigE Vision cameras
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 monochrome progressive scan camera CM-200GE/CM-
200GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA
The CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA/CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA are a GigE Vision compliant camera, based
on the CM-200MCL/CB-200MCL. Both the monochrome version CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA and the
color version CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA provide a frame rate of 25 frames/second at full resolution.
Using vertical binning (CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA only) and partial scan provides higher frame rates.
The 1/1.8" CCD with square pixels offers 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 color version CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic
filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display or save
color images.
The CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA/CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA also comply 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 GigE®Vision standard, please go to www.machinevisiononline.org and
about GenICamTM, please go to www.emva.org.
As an application programming interface, JAI provides an SDK (Software Development Kit).
This SDK includes a GigEVision 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
The standard camera composition consists of the camera main body and C-mount protection cap.
The camera is available in the following versions:
CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA
Where Cstands for "Compact" family, Mstands for "Monochrome", 200 represents the resolution
"2.0 million pixel" , GE stands for " GigE Vision " interface and RA
stands for Right Angle type
CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA
Where Cstands for "Compact" family, Bstands for "Bayer mosaic color", 200 represents the
resolution "2.0 million pixel" , GE stands for " GigE Vision " interface and RA
stands for Right Angle
type

scan
•Exposure time from 64μs to 2 sec. using Pulse Width Control trigger mode
•Programmable exposure from 64μs to 40 ms in Full Frame scan
•Sequencer trigger mode for on-the –fly change of gain, exposure and ROI
•Edge pre-select and Pulse width trigger mode
•LVAL-synchronous/-asynchronous operation (auto-detect)
•Auto iris lens video output allows a wider range of light
•GigE Vision Interface with 10 or 8-bit output
•Programmable GPIO with opto-isolated inputs and outputs
•Can be connected with 100BASE-TX
•Right Angle type is available as CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA and CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA
•Comprehensive software tools and SDK for Windows XP/Vista
Note: CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA and CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA can be connected with
100BASE-TX.
However, due to the limited bandwidth ( 100Mbps) , the described
specifications such as frame rate, minimum trigger interval and so on can not
be satisfied for 100BASE-TX connection.
