3 TheEXOseries
The EXO seriesisa seriesof machinevision camerasfor thelowand mid-rangeres-
olutionsup to 20 MP. The EXO isavailablewithdifferentindustrystandard interfaces
suchasGigEVision, Camera Linkand USB3 Vision.
The EXO iseasyto integrateand comeswitha full packageof useful hardwarefea-
tures.
The EXO-Seriescomesin a new50 x50 mmaluminumbody. Theelaborate, high
precision machined unibodyhousing ensuresperfect temperaturedistribution even
for the most demanding sensors. Amassivelensmount isdesigned to keep anykind
of lensin itsproper position.Theelectric circuitryof the EXO isoptimized for low
power dissipation, helped bytheexcellenttemperatureperformanceof thehousing.
The EXO featuresthelatestglobal shutter CMOSand CCD sensorsfromSONY,
CMOSISand ON Semi.
Auniformformfactorand identical standardinterfaceconnectorswithidentical pin-
out facilitatecamer model interchangeability, allowing system integratorsto adapt
applicationswithvarying conditionsand requirementsveryquicklywith minimum
designeffort.

Fig.: 3-1: Illustrationof 4I/O conceptof switching LEDs
Your SVS-Vistekcamera isequipped with theinnovative 4I/O-interface allowing full
light control, replacing external strobecontrollers. Each of theoutputscanbeindi-
viduallyconfigured and managed using pulsewidth modulation. With itshighcurrent
output, thecamera isableto driveLED lightsdirectlywithout external light controller.
The integrated sequencer allowsmultipleexposureswith settingsto beprogrammed,
creating newand cost effectiveoptions. Logical functionslikeAND / ORaresup-
ported.

3.2 Lenscontrol
VariousSVCammodelsaresupporting adjustablelenses. Focusand irisof thelens
can becontrolled fromwithin thecamera GenICamtree. Aspecial Y-cablemightbe
required, [e-mail].
The following variablelenstypesarecurrentlysupported:
lMFTlenses(in Tracer series)have full supportof lensfocus, irisand zoom. Only
availablein Tracer modelsno optionsselectablein GenICam tree.
lBirger mount

ger adapter.
lVarioptic liquid lens
Control of extremelyfast focuscycles. Makesuresensor diameter iscovered by

lCanonEFlens
Focusand iriscontrol issupported. UsehighqualityCanon lenseswithmachine
vision applications. TheSVCam-EFadapter can beacquired fromSVS-Vistek.
INFO Lenscontrol (exceptMFT) will make use of theserial portsof theHiroseconnector.
3.2.1 TheTraceraddsdynamiclenscontrol
INFO Thissection appliesto theTracermodels(with“TR” in itstypenamelikethe
EXO304MGETR)
The increasing usageof machinevision invariousbranchessuchasagricultureor
packaging and tracking putsnewchallengesto themanufacturersof machinevision
applications. Veryoften varying distancesand difficult lightconditionsmake ita hard
job to integratemachinevisioninto an industrial work flow. SVS-Vistekpioneered the
useof variablefocuslensesinto machinevision.
TracerwithMicroFourThirdsmount
The Tracer acceptsthisnewchallengewitha full blown dynamic lensfunctionality.
Equipped with thewell known MFT(Micro Four Thirds)bayonet, theTracer supports
lAdjustablefocus
lAdjustablezoom
lAdjustableaperture
With thisfeatureset, theTracer isableto focusextremelyfast on variousdistances
and can do closeupswithout lossof resolution. With zoom being relativelyslow, aper-
tureand focusadjustmentinmost casesisdonewithin 10-20 ms(dependingonthe
lens).
