3.1 The SVCam-ECO² Series –
More Resolution – More Speed
The SVCam-ECO² extends the range of the SVCam-ECO: In the same
housing sensors up to 12 megapixel are supported with reasonable pixel
sizes and the possible bandwidth of the GigE Vision interface is fully
exploited.
Compact Power
The SVCam-ECO² series expands the diversity of the SVCam-ECO
series. Recent high-quality CCD sensors from ON Semiconductor
and Sony are integrated and optimized in terms of image quality and
operating modes. Thus, extremely demanding solutions can be
solved easily.

The ECO² – GigE Vision 10
GigE Vision is an industrial interface standard for video transmission and
device control over Ethernet networks. It provides numerous software and
hardware advantages for machine vision. Being an industry standard, it
facilitates easy and quick interchangeability between units, shortening
design cycles and reducing development costs.
>Cost effective
>Wide range of „off the shelf“ industrial-standard plugs and cables
>High bandwidth data transfer rate (120 MB/sec per output)
>Up to 100 m range without additional switch
>Wide range of applications in image processing
>Remote service capability
>GenICam compliant
>SDK for Windows XP/10 (32/64 bit) and Linux

3.4 4IO adds Light and Functionality
Your SVS-Vistek camera is equipped with the innovative 4IO-interface
allowing full light control, replacing external strobe controllers. Each of
the outputs can be individually configured and managed using pulse-
width modulation. With its high current output, the camera is able to drive
LED lights directly without external light controller.
If you attach any light to the camera, make sure the power supply has
enough power not to fail when the camera is putting light ON.
The integrated sequencer allows multiple exposures with settings to be
programmed, creating new and cost effective options. Logical functions
like AND / OR are supported.
>Up to 4 x open drain high power OUT
>Up to 4 x high voltage IN – TTL up to 25 Volts
>Power MOSFET transistors
>PWM strobe control
>Sequencer for various configurations
>PLC fuctionality with AND, OR and timers
>Safe Trigger (debouncer, prescaler, high low trigger)
