2 The SHR series
2.3 High precision with large pixels
The SVCam SHR series is a series of industrial machine vision cameras fea-
turing especially on very high image resolutions with large pixels and global
shutter. In the industrial machine vision business, there are applications where
global shutter with high resolutions cannot permit compromises on image qual-
ity. This is the playground for the SHR.
Wide fields of view and global shutter make this camera series your prime
choice for demanding applications such as optical meteorology, aerial imaging
or scientific research. Global shutter reduces optical distortion on the sensor
side, large pixels reduce noise and extend the usable dynamic range.
One of the most compact camera modules of its class
SVS-VISTEK is introducing high-class sensors with high resolutions and large
pixels to generate high-resolution images in an outstanding quality. This covers
sophisticated CCD technology as well as latest CMOS sensors. High and ultra-
high resolutions with large pixels are challenging. We combine our advanced
knowledge in these areas with a robust I/O design and advanced industrial cam-
era layout, providing reliable excellence in industrial imaging.
Best imaging performance is possible only with excellent lenses. Nearly all
kinds of lenses can be adapted to the SHR due to its wide lens opening of
72 mm. Ask for adapters regarding your specific lens requirement.
2.4 CoaXPress features
CoaXPress (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 are
l6.25 Gbit/s transfer rate (CXP-6) per line
lLines can be teamed: a 4-line aggregation delivers up to 25 Gbit/s
lProvides data and power on a single line
lVery thin and flexible cables
l25m data cable supported
lExtremely low latency times
INFO If using the 4IO PWM outputs to drive lights, you need an external power sup-
ply as PoCXP is unable to deliver the high currents requested by the lights.

2.5 4I/O adds light and functionality
Fig.: 2-1: 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)

nected properly. Always connect data cable before power.
3 Getting started 10

3.3.2 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
(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
3.4 Camera status LED codes
Latest SVCam CoaXPress cameras provides status information per CXP line. A
LED is located close to each CXP connector and will indicate the current status
for the appropriate CXP line. The LEDs will change color and rhythm.
The meaning of the CXP line blinking codes is depending whether PoCXP is
used and translates as follows:

3 Getting started 18

4 Connectors
Cameras from SVS-Vistek feature a combined I/O and power supply connector
(Hirose) and a data connector.
4.1 CoaXPress
4.1.1 Protocol description
CoaXPress was established as a standard protocol in machine vision 2009.
The current version documented by Japan Industrial Imaging Association is 1.1.
It is targeted to high bandwidth connections. The CoaXPress standard is scal-
able from 1.25 Gbit/s up to 25 Gbit/s with a maximum distance of more than
200 m.
The standard connector for CoaXPress is a 75Ω DIN 1.0/2.3 connector.
Depending on the desired bit rate, environment and speed you might use 75Ω
coaxial cables like RG11, RG6, RG59 and RG187 (recommended).
SVS-VISTEK uses female connectors on their cameras according to JIIA stand-
ard.
You need cables with male connectors (plugs).
Protocol type is serial and is designed as an end-to-end connection. Forwarding
the data stream to multiple receivers does require additional hardware (pls con-
tact SVS-VISTEK).
SVS-VISTEK cameras are supporting CoaXPress with up to 6.25 Gbit/s per
line. Transmission speeds above this can be managed by operating multiple
CoaXPress lines in parallel. Currently the cameras (depending on the model)
from SVS-VISTEK are supporting up to 4 lines in parallel. All SVS-VISTEK
CoaXPress cameras support the GEN<i>CAM interface.
CoaXPress standard supports camera control and power over CoaXPress
(PoCXP, 24 V@13W). It is recommended to use the frame grabber power sup-
ply over CoaXPress.
4.1.2 Connecting the data cable(s)
You need a CoaXPress frame grabber for connecting the camera to your host
computer.
Before powering on, connect the cables to the camera and the frame grabber.
CXP connectors have a locking mechanism. Always plug and unplug the cable
at the connector, never pull the cable.
If your frame grabber has got less channels than the camera, the data transfer
will not reach the maximum values mentioned in the specifications. If your
frame grabber has more CoaXPress lines than your camera, try to connect the
low channel numbers (0,1,…) first.
You may connect more than 1 camera to a multi-channel frame grabber. Always
connect the CoaXPress data cables before power on!
NOTICE Be careful with the tiny connectors. They slide up neatly and are locking
quite well, but too much force might easily break the connectors.

4.2 Hirose I/O connector
The Hirose™ connector provides power, input and output signal access. Max
power out is 2 Amperes peak.
Fig.: 4-1: I/O Hirose connector layout
Inputs and outputs connect via 4I/O-matrix in the GenICam software tree to the
appropriate actions. For detailed information about switching lights with the
power outputs via GenICam, refer to "LED strobe control" on page 71.
