3 The HR camera series
3.1 Focusing on details
The SVCam HR series is a series of industrial machine vision cameras fea-
turing especially on very high image resolutions and interface high speed
without compromising on image quality. Camera sensors and interfaces are
built to deliver maximum sensor and interface bandwidth.
These high resolution sensors in most cases are large, thus the HR series
comes with an M58 mount with the possibility to adapt for any kind of lens.
High-quality image sensors with high resolutions allow fast and effortless
acquisition of a large field of view. This makes this camera series your first
choice for demanding applications such as optical meteorology, quality mon-
itoring, wide field surveillance or traffic monitoring.
3.2 10 GigE Vision
The 10GigE interface is a cost-effective, easily scalable and networkable suc-
cessor to the proven 1GigE standard. 10GigE keeps the 1GigE benefits in net-
work topology. Network access is transparent.
10 GigE on copper lines is a standard existing for years already in professional
internet technology. Basically, it keeps the benefits and fundamental ideas of
GigE and adds the ten times higher speed. There are 2 main disadvantages
compared to GigE:
lHigher heat dissipation in 10 GigE devices
lReduced cable lengths
By using high-quality (CAT6 and better) cables, cable lengths of up to 100 m
are possible and compensating the first disadvantage. Nonetheless, despite
using the latest 10 GigE transceivers in the devices, the increased power dis-
sipation still will result in slightly larger camera housings.
3.3 Speed is king
The benefit of 10 GigE is the higher speed: Up to 1.1 GB/s of data are possible,
what is matching the speed-range of latest high-performance image sensors.
3.4 Optimized network adapter tuning
For best performance on Windows, 10 GigE adapters still need some manual
tuning. Please refer to the latest “Optimal network adapter settings for
GigE/10GigE” in the downolad section.
INFO All known 10GigE interface cards require Windows 10 as minimum version.
Latest Linux versions are supported as well.

3.5 4I/O adds light and functionality
Fig.: 3-1: Illustration of 4I/O concept of switching LEDs
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 79).
3.6 Use of Canon lenses
We are supporting Canon EF lenses. The SVCam-EF lens adapter gives you
the possibility to mount Canon EF lenses with full control of focus and iris.
Canon lenses are well known for their optical excellence and combine perfectly
to high resolution machine vision cameras.
This camera series does have the firmware support already included in the
GenICam tree and provides you with Canon lens control in all GenICam based
software packages.

4 Connectors
Cameras from SVS-Vistek feature a combined I/O and power supply connector
(Hirose) and a data connector.
4.1 GigE IP Setup
Your GigEVision camera needs a working network connection. Make sure the
camera is attached to the network and is powered on. Make sure everything is
plugged in properly and that the firewall settings are not blocking the connection
to the camera or SVCapture.
4.1.1 Automatic camera detection
By default, SVS-Vistek GigE Vision cameras are trying to acquire a valid net-
work address via LLA or DHCP from the network.
INFO Please make sure to have valid network protocol with "Jumbo frames" on
page 12 enabled on your host computer.
For finding and accessing your camera, start SVCapture on your computer. As
soon as the camera has booted, all SVS-Vistek GigE cameras are showing up
in the main window. Select the camera you want to connect to and press ok.
If you want to change automatic address or go back to automatic mode, con-
figure the IP settings manually. You will find this in the drop down marked
above.
4 Connectors 10

lManual IP configuration will permit you to
lAssign a new IP address
(make sure the new address is unique and valid in the current subnet)
lSave a specific address as a permanent address to the camera
(Persistent)
lSave automatic address mode or the manually configured address to the
camera
For saving an persistent IP configuration (configuration will survive power off)
you need to check the „Persistent IP address“.
4 Connectors 11

4.2 GigE Vision
4.2.1 Network (TCP/IP)
Address Assignment
By default, the camera does not have a persistent IP address.
When forcing an IP address by using the PC internal network dialog, changes
are only valid until the next restart of the Camera.
For a peer-to-peer connection of a GigE camera to a PC a network address
assignment based on LLA (Local Link Address) is recommended. This involves
a network mask “255.255.0.0” as well as a fixed preamble “169.254.xxx.xxx” of
the network address range. A GigE camera will fall back to LLA when no DHCP
server is available and no fixed network address was assigned to the camera.
Fig.: 4-1: RJ45 socket connector
Jumbo frames
The transport efficiency in the streaming channel can be improved by using
“jumbo frames”. This will reduce overhead caused by maintaining header data
upon each data packet sent. Jumbo frames increase the data size per Ethernet
packet.
Fig.: 4-2: Data reduction with jumbo frames
INFO Higher packet sizes require network cards that support jumbo packets.
Lost packets
In accordance with the TCP protocol, lost or corrupted packets will be resent.
NOTICE Resends result in higher consumption of bandwidths and will lead to drop
frames. High quality cables prevent resends.
Connecting multiple cameras
Multiple GigE cameras can be connected to a PC either via a switch or using
dual or quad port network interface connectors (NIC).
4 Connectors 12

Fig.: 4-3: Connecting multiple cameras on multi NICs
Multiple cameras connected by a switch
To connect multiple cameras by a switch, the switch must be managed. It might
also be necessary to operate the cameras in an “inter packet delay” applying a
smother image data stream.
Fig.: 4-4: Illustration of connecting multiple cameras by a switch
Dual GigE connection is not supported when using a switch.
NOTICE Performance might be lost using multiple Cameras on a single port NIC.
Multicast
When images from a single camera need to be delivered to multiple PCs, mul-
ticast (RFC 2236) is used. A switch receives an image data stream from a
4 Connectors 13

camera and distributes it to multiple destinations in this mode.
Since a GigE camera always needs a single controlling application, there will be
only one master application. The controlling master application has to open a
camera in multicast mode (IP 232.x.x.x for local multicast groups) in order to
allow other applications to connect to the same image data stream. Other applic-
ations will become listeners to an existing image data stream. They do not have
control access to the camera; however, potential packet resend requests will be
served in the same manner as for the controlling application.
Fig.: 4-5: Camera casting to multiple receivers (multicast)
4.2.2 XML files
According to the GigE Vision standard a GigE camera provides an XML file that
defines the camera’s capabilities and current settings.
The XML file can be processed by software like SVCapture allowing displaying
and saving it to disk. Settings can also be saved and restored on the Camera
internal EEPROM.

4.3 10GigE limitations and issues
10GigE is a high performance network protocol. Make sure your computer per-
formance is sufficient to digest the amount of data in terms of software and in
terms of hardware components, especially the combination of motherboard and
NIC.
4.3.1 Compatibility to nBase-T
Our 10GigE cameras supports 1GigE, 2.5 GigE and 5 GigE
(nBase-T), upgradeable with firmware update. At the moment of
writing, only some models with latest firmware support nBase-T
and 1GigE. The FXO series will be the first one to provide this fea-
ture.
4.3.2 Bandwidth limitation
With certain computer motherboards / 10 GigE NIC combinations, a reliable
data connection might not be possible. Frame drops are the result.
To get rid of these frame drops, the 10GigE interface of the camera does have
an adjustable bandwidth limit. Reducing the bandwidth will reduce your max-
imum framerate, obvoiusly. It might be not sufficient to reproduce stable band-
width, though.
A solution might be a different motherboard / NIC combination together with the
latest software and firmware update of your NIC and motherboard man-
ufacturer. Latest firmware versions improve data stability.
Special NICs support 100% connections without frame drops.
4.3.3 Recommended setup
It is recommended to use a 10GigE Ethernet card with grabber capabilities. All
SVS-Vistek certification setups are using this kind of cards.
Contact [e-mail] for details and more recommendations.
lUse high performance PC (such as Intel Core i5 or Core i7 with 16 GB, and
mainboard with PCIe Gen 3)
lUse direct NIC-to-camera connections, no switches.
lReliable 10 GigE connections are reported with Myircom
MYR-10G-PCIE2-8C2-2T+MVA Dual LAN port and
MYR-10G-PCIE2-8C-T+MVA single LAN port with installed MVA license

NOTICE The power supply must be easily accessible at all times! For Power specs,
refer to the data sheet of your model.
5.3.2 Connect the camera
The camera is powered on by connecting power to to the camera. Connect the
power supply with the Hirose connector. When using your own power supply
5 Getting started 17

(voltage range 10 -25 V DC) see also Hirose™ 12-Pin layout of the power con-
nector. For power input specifications refer to specifications.
Generally external power supply for USB3 Vision, CoaXPress (if PoCXP
enabled) or PoE cameras is not needed. Nonetheless, you might want to use a
separate power on the Hirose connector to reduce load on the data port. The
external power on the Hirose connector is the preferred power source.
INFO Only power supply with external dedicated power supply is powering 4I/O LED
lights. Power supply via data lines covers camera supply only. If you want to
use the I/O-output lines to drive LED lights, the camera needs an external ded-
icated power supply on the Hirose connector.
The power up is defined as follows:
>Power over USB3, CoaXPress port or GigE port (with PoE) or on the Hirose
connector will power on the camera
>If power is found on the Hirose connector, camera power supply will switch
to the Hirose connector
>If Hirose power supply is cut, camera power supply will switch back to
power over USB3, PoE or power over CXP supply
When using your own power supply (voltage range 10-25 V DC) see also
Hirose 12- pin layout of the power connector. For power input specifications
refer to specifications.
Caution Camera Link cameras do not support hotplugging
5.3.3 Power over Ethernet
Ethernet lines are able to provide the necessary power to operate ethernet-
devices (Power over Ethernet). Some SVS-Vistek GigE/10GigE camera models
are equipped with the capability to use power supply via the ethernet lines
(PoE). Please refer to your model specification regarding your camera model.
PoE will supply the camera only. If using the outputs, an external dedicated
power supply is required.
There are 2 possibilities to get cameras operated via PoE:
>use a PoE-enabled switch or network port
>use a standard switch together with a PoE-injector
Depending on maximum power delivery, there are several standards for PoE.
>PoE (802.3af up to 12,9W)
>PoE+ (802.3at up to 25,4W)
INFO The EXO series is using PoE standard.
FXO, HR and SHR series comply to PoE+ standard.
5.4 Camera status LED codes
On power up, the camera will indicate its current operation status with a flashing
LED on its back. The LED will change color and rhythm.
The meaning of the blinking codes translates as follows:
