Optronis does not guaranty camera operation beyond above conditions and camera
lifetime might be reduced.
2.1.2 Camera Handling
Please be careful when using camera. Pay attention especially to:
Camera power
Please be careful when powering camera. Use power over
Coaxpress (PoCXP) or delivered external power supply (option).
Remark: PoCXP is implemented on all channels.
Temperature and Humidity
Please respect recommended conditions. You may use
controlled airflow or heatsinks to keep camera in better
temperature conditions.
Direct sun light
Please avoid direct-sun light, camera sensor may be damaged.
Dust and Cleaning
The camera is produced in a dust-controlled environment.
Please be careful when changing lens, mount or accessing any
part close to the sensor.
Always unplug the camera before cleaning it. Do not use
cleaning liquids or sprays. Instead, use a dry and soft duster.
Do not open the camera housing.
Warranty becomes void if the camera housing is opened.

2.2 Setting Up System
2.2.1 CoaXPress Standard Overview
CoaXPress is an interface to connect Devices (typically cameras) to Hosts (typically frame grabbers). It combines
the simplicity of coaxial cable with state-of-the-art high-speed serial data technology, allowing up to 12.5 Gbps
data rate per cable, plus device control and power in the same cable.
CoaXPress is a point to point scalable interface. The physical medium between the Device and Host is 75Ω
coaxial cable.
An interface consists of one master connection and optional extension connections, which together form a
link. Each connection is associated with a coax cable. At the Device connections are numbered; 0 for Master,
and 1 to (n-1) for (n-1) extension connections as shown in the following figure:
Figure 1: CoaXPress physical topology
Each connection provides the following signaling functions:
•• High speed serial (usually Device to Host down connection), at up to 12.5 Gbps.
•• Low speed serial (usually Host to Device up connection), at up to 41.6˙ Mbps.
•• Power (Host to Device), up to 13W.
A dedicated high speed up connection from the Host to the Device is allowed for high speed triggers and
camera control. This connection does not support power.
The link protocol defines the transfer of triggers, general purpose I/O, control data and high-speed streaming
data over a link, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 2: Signaling connections and data flow

2.2.2 Typical System Configuration
A typical system with Optronis CoaXPress camera is composed of:
•An Optronis CoaXPress camera
•CoaXPress cables
•An acquisition and control system (a CoaXPress Frame Grabber in a PC)
•A Control Software based on Frame Grabber features
•Optional features (External power supply, External synchronization system, etc…).
Here is an illustration of such a system:
Figure 3: Typical System

2.3 About Lenses
2.3.1 Lens handling
Please be careful when installing or removing camera lens. Depending on your lens mount type and lens, pay
attention to following points:
•If your lens has a mounting mark, first align lens-holder and lens mounting marks and then rotate anti-
clockwise to lock the lens. To remove the lens, unlock the lens-holder silver clip and rotate clockwise
until marks are aligned. Then remove the lens.
•If your lens has a screw thread, rotate anti-clockwise to remove it and clockwise to installing it.
•If you are removing the lens from the camera, always use a cap on the camera to avoid dust infiltration.
Use also caps on both lens sides for the same reason.
•Do not forget to remove the cap of your lens before using the camera.
2.3.2 Lens Selection / Optical Considerations
A typical optical system can be represented as below.
Figure 4: Field of View
Using above notations:
The sensor size depends on frame dimension:

To select a lens, you can use the following formula:

Alternatively, if you already have a lens, you can compute working distance using the following formula:

3.1.2.3.1 Sync In schematic
The Sync In camera input is TTL adapted (high impedance). To adapt to 50 Ohm, please add an external 50 Ohm
termination.
To operate Sync In correctly, a Sync In driver has to be used with a minimum sink current (TTL low level) of
5mA.
Source Current (TTL High Level) of the Sync In Driver is negligible (0mA)
Easiest driver circuit is a transistor working in open collector configuration.
Sync In input voltage limits are: [-5V +30V].
Voltages beyond these limits may damage camera.

3.1.2.3.2 Sync Out schematic
Sync Out has a built in 50 Ohm driver.
At 50 Ohm termination, the driver voltage is between 0 (low level) to ≈2 Volts (high level).
At high impedance termination, the driver voltage is in between 0 (low level) to ~4 Volts (high level).
