2.1 USA and Canada
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
NOTICE This equipment is compliant with Class A of CISPR 32. In a residential
environment this equipment may cause radio interference.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
It is necessary to use a shielded power supply cable. You can then use the
“shield contact” on the connector which has GND contact to the camera hous-
ing. This is essential for any use. If not done and camera is destroyed due to
Radio Magnetic Interference (RMI) WARRANTY is void!
lPower: US/UK and European line adapter can be delivered. Otherwise use
filtered and stabilized DC power supply.
lShock & vibration resistance is tested. For detailed specifications refer to
the section on specifications ("Specifications").

3 The FXO
The FXO is a camera series designed for high-end machine vision with a C-
mount connection. Only Sony image sensors with excellent optical performance
and high bandwidth are used in the FXO. Advanced electronic circuitry, an
excellent temperature management and low power dissipation make the basis
for optimal performance of even the most demanding image sensors. Equipped
with the fastest interfaces from the world of image processing, the FXO allows
the high bandwidths of modern image sensors to be transferred into the applic-
ation.
The CoaXPress-12 interface is suitable for applications with extremely stable
data rates and high requirements on trigger latency.
3.1 CoaXPress-12 features (CoaXPress 2.0)
CoaXPress-12 (CXP) is the latest development regarding high speed high
volume data transfer for imaging. The interface needs a frame grabber. The
CoaXPress standard is very precise and is incorporating a lot of features like
power-over-CoaXPress (PoCXP) already in the standard definition.
Main advantages of CXP-12 are
l12.5 Gbit/s tranfer rate per line
lLines can be teamed
lProvides data and power on a single line (PoCXP)
lVery thin and flexible 75 Ohm coaxial cables
l25m data cable supported
lExtremely low latency times
lHigh uplink speed 41.6 Mbit/s
lPrecise trigger over CXP (theoretical max. 300kHz)
lNew, very robust DIN micro-BNC connector
3.2 4I/O adds light and functionality
Fig.: 3-1: Illustration of 4I/O concept of switching LEDs
3 The FXO 8

Your SVS-Vistek camera is equipped with the innovative 4I/O-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.
The integrated sequencer allows multiple exposures with settings to be pro-
grammed, creating new and cost effective options. Logical functions like AND /
OR are supported.
lUp to 4 x open drain high power OUT
lUp to 4 x high voltage IN – TTL up to 25 Volts
lPower MOSFET transistors
lPWM strobe control
lSequencer for various configurations
lPLC fuctionality with AND, OR and timers
lSafe Trigger (debouncer, prescaler, high low trigger)
INFO Find an example how to operate light control in the section on sequencer
("Sequencer" on page 75).

3.3 Lens control
Various SVCam models are supporting adjustable lenses. Focus and iris of the
lens can be controlled from within the camera GenICam tree. A special Y-cable
might be required, contact [email protected].
The following variable lens types are currently supported:
lMFT lenses (in Tracer series) have full support of lens focus, iris and zoom.
Only available in Tracer models no options selectable in GenICam tree.
lBirger mount
Ask [e-mail] for information of usability and restrictions of
the Birger adapter.
lVarioptic liquid lens
Control of extremely fast focus cycles. Make sure sensor diameter is
covered by lens.
lCanon EF lens
Focus and iris control is supported. Use high quality Canon lenses with
machine vision applications. The SVCam-EF adapter can be acquired from
SVS-Vistek.
INFO Lens control (except MFT) will make use of the serial ports of the Hirose con-
nector.
3.3.1 Use liquid lens on C-mount
We are supporting Varioptic liquid lenses. The liquid lens support does variable
focus only, zoom and aperture control are not existing with the Varioptic liquid
lens. You need a special serial cable with Hirose for connecting the lens to the
camera, please ask your dealer. Being extremely fast and robust, the liquid lens
is best choice as long as variable focus is sufficient in the application and you
do not need a full lens control with aperture control and zoom functionality. In
case of full lens control requirement, please refer to the TRACER series.
The lens is powered and controlled by the camera. The lens can be controlled
via SDK functions or more easily via GenICam property.
Liquid lenses do have some advantages and disadvantages compared to glass
optics:
lAdvantages of liquid lenses
oExtremely robust to mechanical shock (best choice for fast moving
robotics) and acceleration
oFast focus (often significantly faster than 10 ms under common con-
ditions)
