1Series Overview
1.1 Description
Teledyne Lumenera USB3 Vision compliant cameras provide a quick and easy means of capturing
high quality images on any USB 3.0 equipped desktop, laptop, or embedded computer. Because
they are USB-based, there is no need for a frame grabber. Instead, a single cable provides full
command control and data transfer at speeds of up to 380 MB/s (Lt series).
Lt-Ux0x-xxxxx and Lt-Ux1x-xxxxx USB 3 cameras are powered via the USB 3 computer port
and may optionally be powered through the external interface header. Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx USB 3
cameras (XL) must be powered through the external interface header. The external interface
header also provides access for hardware input and output signals.
Some of the Lt Series feature highlights include:
•Compliant with third-party USB3 Vision application development software
•Color or monochrome Sony IMX series electronic global shutter CMOS sensors
•High-Speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface for fastest image delivery and simplified connectivity
•128 MB / 256 MB (XL models) low-latency RAM frame buffer
•Transfer Burst Mode supported
•Region of Interest (ROI) option to provide higher frame rates
•Selectable 8 or 12-bit pixel data
•Multiple data rates supported, each optimized for lowest noise performance
•Compact, robust form factor
•Locking industrial micro USB (power / data) and General Purpose I/O connectors for control of
peripherals and lighting synchronization
•P-Iris connector for support of precise iris lens control (available with LT-Ux0x-xxxxx series
camera models)
•The Lt-Ux0x-xxxxx series with 4 GPI/O, the options are: 1 optically isolated output, 1
optically isolated input, and 2 configurable I/O ports controls for synchronization (trigger and
strobe) of multiple cameras, peripherals, and lighting
•The Lt-Ux1x-xxxxx series which uses a smaller case, has a reduced I/O signal set on a locking
9-pin connector
•The Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx series boasts up to 31 MP, is designed to support operating temperatures
between 0oC–50oC and is suited for outdoor applications such as traffic monitoring.
•FCC Class B, CE Certified

10 •Series Overview Teledyne Lumenera Lt Series
1.3 Software Requirements
Windows OS & USB3 Vision
Series Lt-Uxxx-xxxxxmodels are pre-set to be compatible with the
Teledyne Sapera LT software SDK (USB3 Vision compliant) or with a
third-party USB3 Vision compliant SDK.
Windows OS & Lumenera LuCam API
Series Lt-Lxxx-xxxxxmodels are pre-set to be compatible with the
Lumenera LuCam software API.
Series Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx models are compatible with the Lumenera
LuCam software API versions 6.9 and up.
LuCam is not USB3 Vision compliant.
Linux OS & Lumenera LuCam API
Series Lt-Lxxx-xxxxxand Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx models are compatible
with the Linux software API.
USB3 Vision and LuCam can be used with the Linux API.See
Lumenera LuCam API for Linux OS.
Note for Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx Series Cameras: Lt-Ux2x-xxxxx series cameras may be used with
either USB3 Vision SDK (Sapera LT/third-party) or LuCam SDK according to the driver that is used.
See Using the U3V Device Manager Tool for details on selecting from drivers.
1.3.1 Firmware Files for all Lt Models
The latest firmware files for all Lt Models are available on the Teledyne Lumenera Lt Series support
web site (subject to change):
https://www.lumenera.com/support/industrial-usb-ethernet/drivers-downloads/usb3-camera-
firmware-updater.html
1.3.1.1 Firmware Update using Sapera LT
When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see File Access via the
CamExpert Tool (Quick Camera Firmware Upgrade)). The Camera firmware can easily be upgraded
within your own application via the API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents
unrecoverable camera errors even in the case of a power interruption.
1.3.1.2 Firmware Update using Lumenera API
When using Lumenera API, use the Lumenera Updater tool. See Using LtUpdater for details.
1.3.1.3 Switching Camera Modes
The camera can be switched between LuCam mode and USB3 Vision mode as required by the user.
See Switching a Teledyne Lumenera camera from LuCam mode to USB3 Vision mode and Switching
a Teledyne Lumenera camera from USB3 Vision mode to LuCam mode for details on the procedure.

2.4 Mean Time between Failure (MTBF)
Teledyne Lumenera MTBF calculations use the Parts Count / Parts Stress method. Calculated
assembly FIT values are rounded up with margin to provide adequate headroom and the final
quoted MTBF is then rounded down to the nearest year.
In practice, MILSTD217F is used to model passive and simple active parts, such as diodes and
transistors, because manufacturer data is unreliable. When MILSTD217F models are used to
represent more than one physical part, worst case parameters are used. Manufacturer's data is
used to model more complicated active parts, such as buffers and FPGAs, because the internal
structures are not known, and the manufacturer data is more likely to be valid. When manufacturer
data is used, it is modified to meet specific use conditions using the Arrhenius equation and the
result is set to a 90% confidence level using the Chi-Squared Distribution Method. Again, when

14 •Series Specifications Teledyne Lumenera Lt Series
more than one of the same part exist on an assembly, worst case parameters are used.
Manufacturer data is either obtained from the manufacturer’s website or provided directly from the
manufacturer.
The calculated MTBF only considers electronic components. It does not include mechanical parts
unless specified.
MTBF assumptions
•Fixed Ground Environment Readily Accessible for Maintenance
•Manufactured to Specification
•Proper Operating Conditions/Environment During Life Cycle
It is important to note that the MTBF result provided here is subject to change due to design
changes or as new reliability/test data becomes available.
