1Overview
This document describes how to configure the SightLine OEM video processing boards to receive video
from DRS cameras.
See camera configuration tables for the complete list of supported DRS cameras.
Before connecting with the Panel Plus software, the OEM board should be powered up and connected
through:
-a network switch or directly to the host PC (preferred) or,
-Direct serial connection (for troubleshooting or if a network connection cannot be established).
IMPORTANT: This procedure assumes that the customer has read the OEM startup guide(s) and
has a basic understanding of the following fundamentals:
•Completed a functional connection between the SightLine video processing board and Panel
Plus application.
•Familiar with Panel Plus controls.
•Successfully streamed video in Panel Plus.
If you do not have a strong basic system setup and familiarity, please contact SightLine Support.
1.1 Additional Support Documentation
The Panel Plus User Guide provides a complete overview of settings and dialog windows. Accessed
from the Help menu of the Panel Plus application.
The Interface Command and Control (IDD) describes the native communications protocol used by the
SightLine Applications product line. Also available as a PDF from the Software Downloads page.
Additional Engineering Application Notes (EANs) and ICDs are available on the Documentation page.
1.2 SightLine Software Requirements
Licensing: The 14 and 16-bit mode requires license for feature Enhance + High Depth + Temp.
Superframe requirements:

6Camera Connection and Configuration Notes
See camera configuration tables for the complete list of supported cameras and configuration
settings.
IMPORTANT: Save parameters and reset the board when changing parameters. Cycle system
power when changing resolution.
If the video does not display, try saving and activating the settings again. Check the encoding
settings on the Compress tab and review the network addresses for the destination video.
Configuration settings for the Tamarisk cameras include the 640 and 320 in 8-bit or 14-bit mode. In 8-
bit mode autogain is controlled through the Tamarisk camera. The contrast and brightness controls in
Panel Plus have no effect on the video. In 14-bit mode, autogain is controlled through the video
processing board. The video contrast and brightness can be used to bias the autogain output. These
values can be set and persisted through Panel Plus.
In the Compress tab, video protocol MPEG2-TS: H.264 is recommended.
6.1 Tenum 640 Configuration Notes - 4000-OEM
In the Acquisition Settings dialog set Camera Type to Generic Digital.
The Tenum 640 camera attached to the SLA-4000-4000-MIPI is available as Cam1 and Cam 2.
The Options field will set up the onboard FPGA and MIPI clock and call the FPC initialization routine in a
Lua script.
Figure 6: DRS Tenum 640 Camera Configuration
6.2 Tamarisk Camera with Superframe Configuration Notes
•Superframe is supported in firmware 2.22.15 and later.
•Data output is 16-bits. There are no programmable ranges.
•Each 16-bit pixel value represents Kelvin temperature as 11.5 fixed point binary.
•To get Celsius, use the 16-bit pixel value as the integer, divide by 32.0F, and then subtract 273.15.

6.3 Serial Passthrough
Serial passthrough is supported by the SightLine OEM boards to allow connection to the camera from a
network controlling host. Serial Passthrough for the Tamarisk cameras defaults to:
Baud: 57600 Data Bits: 8 Stop Bits: 1Parity: None
When using the DRS camera control GUI with serial passthrough, it may be necessary to unplug any
USB-to-serial adapters plugged into the host PC. The DRS camera control GUI may not be
compatible with these adapters and stop working. Restart the PC after unplugging the devices, and
then run the DRS camera control GUI.
4000-OEM: SightLine was unable to use the DRS camera control software to communicate to the
camera when TCP passthrough was enabled. However, sending direct commands –e.g., 01 27 02 00
03 D3 to trigger a flat field correction –works as expected.
