1 Introduction
Thank you for urchasing a SVS-VISTEK roduct. SVS-VISTEK stands for reliable
com etence and customer oriented solutions in the field of rofessional machine vi-
sion systems. We believe that we are more than just a trade artner of machine vision
com onents and we believe in sharing our years if develo ment ex ertise with our
customers. We offer single source solutions and are a one-sto sho ing center for all
questions concerning rofessional machine vision. As a consequence, our insistence
on the highest quality has resulted in many com anies worldwide that use our rod-
ucts and services with great success and satisfaction. Customers at home and abroad
trust and rely on our know-how and ex erience.
The SVCam “Tracer”-Line cameras offer HIGHEST RESOLUTION with one shot,
combined with digital out ut (non interlaced, rogressive scan cameras) via Ethernet
technology. Further, they feature an excellent S/N ratio at low rices.
A unique lens control for “ Micro Four Third” lenses allows maximum versatility in
various a lications.
The ex osure time can be adjusted in different ways. 4 o eration modes are available
to cover most a lications in image rocessing and o tical metrology.
The following ty es are covered in this manual:
evo1050 TR ½” CCD, 1024 x 1024 ixel, 12 Bit gray level resolution, u to 147
frames/sec. Monochrome and color version (usin electrical 14 Bit ADC).
evo2050 TR 2/3” CCD, 1600 x 1200 ixel, 12 Bit gray level resolution, u to 81
frames/sec. Monochrome and color version (usin electrical 14 Bit ADC).
evo2150 TR 2/3” CCD, 1920 x 1080 ixel, 12 Bit gray level resolution, u to 78
frames/sec. Monochrome and color version (usin electrical 14 Bit ADC).
evo4050 TR 1” CCD, 2336 x 1752 ixel, 12 Bit gray level resolution, u to 41
frames/sec. Monochrome and color version (usin electrical 14 Bit ADC).
evo8050 TR 22,66mm diagonal CCD, 3320 x 2496 ixel, 12 Bit gray level resolution,
u to 21 frames/sec. Monochrome and color version (usin electrical 14 Bit ADC).
For standard applications only 8 Bit are transmitted due to
data load
For more information on the color versions, please see chapter 4.9.
If you need modifications, we will be glad to offer you a custom camera suitable to
your a lication.

2 Pinout and Installation
Warning
The CCD camera is built with CMOS-LSI circuits. All internal electr n-
ics in the camera are sensitive t high v ltage r electr static dis-
charge. The camera can be destr yed if carelessly handled, s ex-
treme care sh uld be taken during set up and perati n. D n t ex-
p se the sens r t a direct laser beam as this c uld damage the sen-
s r! See Safety Instructi ns at Appendix F. Warranty will be v id if
n t f ll wed.

2.4 Installation/Getting started
Recommended PC
It is recommended to use a PC with a Quad core CPUs. F r svs8050 and higher
with minimum f 4 Gbyte RAM. The camera is working also on lower frequen-
cies but it might not deliver the full framerate in those cases.
NETWORK switches are currently NOT su orted with dual GigE cameras.
Also MULTICAST o eration will not work.
In case only one out ut is used:
If the camera is connected to the PC directly without using a network switch, a fixed
IP-Address and Subnet-Mask has to be confi ured in the PC’s TCP/IP set-
tin s:
See: Start->Settings->Network connections->LAN-connection->Pro erties->TCP/IP
If 2 ports are connected: The IP address must e configured
following the STATIC LINK AGREGATION (SLA) standard. If
not done, performance is reduced. See Appendix
A Gigabit Ethernet network ada ter is needed. If your PC does not have a Gigabit in-
terface card urchase a card usin an ori inal INTEL(TM) Chip set.
Currently PCI(e) (EXPRESS) bus cards with 82546 chip set versi n
have been tested successfully
If you don’t follow this, a significantly reduced data transmis-
sion rate is o served. Also the loss of data can appear.
2.5 Hardware
2.7.1 Lenses
Install a Micro Four Third lens on the camera. Make sure the lens “sna s” into the
bayonet so the in connection between camera and lens for remote control will work
ro erly.
For roven lenses contact your local dealer. In general there are lenses e.g. from
Olym us, Sigma and Panasonic. Lenses from Schneider et. al. have been announced.
Install the lens before you power up the camera. If
camera has already power lens will not work !
N te that pure “F ur Third” lenses d have a different Back F cus dis-
tance and WILL NOT WORK !
Check f ll wing website f r lenses:

2.7.2 camera
Install camera in the desired location. You can use the ¼“ tri od ada ter or use the 4
M3 holes in the ada ter of the camera. Connect the ower su ly. If you have or-
dered a P/S connect it to the camera. If you use your own ower su ly (must be be-
tween 9 and 24 VDC) make sure connection is done right. See Cha ter 5.4.3. If you –
by mistake – su ly line with GND in the camera can be damaged!
If power supply was ordered, do not modify it.
Connect one or 2 Ethernet cable to your PC like you would built u a PC Network.
Please note that cable length should not exceed 100m for theses camera (Cat 5E ver-
sion). In doubt consult your local distributor!
If y u want t use the full frame rate c nnect 2 cables t a dual p rt
NIC card. If nly ne p rt is c nnected, use the RIGHT ne !
Wait 15 seconds until the status LED continuously yellow. Then start “SVCap-
ture.exe” .
2.6 Available operation modes
General:
All modes are set y Ethernet interface which connects via
M12 –RJ 45 ETHERNET ca le.
CAT 5E quality is required.
For cable availability consult your local supplier
The default factory setting is free runnin /fixed frequency using the internal logic
for ex osure control You can also trigger the camera by hardware and by PC (Soft-
ware trigger).
For color: With the SDK comes a free software algorithm which will allow rocessing of
the color image inside the PC. This must to be done in order to inter olate the colors
for each ixel. Please note that no res onsibility can be taken for the algorithm. It
might be necessary to change the algorithm according to the a lication. See chap-
ter 4.9.
2.6.1 Operation Modes
• Fixed frequency (Free runnin )

Users Manual Area Scan Cameras SVSGigE Page 9
Users Manual –evo1050 TR, evo2050 TR, evo2150 TR, evo4050 TR, evo8050 TR

The camera puts out data automatically. The framerate can be adjusted.
• Tri ered, external exposure control
If you want to trigger the camera and determine the ex osure time by the ulse
width of a Trigger, choose this mode. Then a ly a TRIGGER signal at the a -
ro riate ins e.g. on ins of Hirose connector (see Layout for Connector. With
the starting edge of the ulse the camera will start ex osure time. The ex o-
sure time ends with next u coming edge of the Trigger signal. Please check the
timing diagram in the a endix of this manual.
• External tri ered, internal camera exposure control
If you want to trigger the camera and use the convenient ex osure time control
of the internal controller then use this mode. You still can use the SVCa ture
GUI for setting ex osure time (see “Ex osure time”-field below). However you
need to use a signal in order to trigger the camera (see “Trigger”-buttons be-
low).
• External tri ered via Software tri er with internal exposure control
If you want to trigger the camera with a software trigger and use the SVCa -
ture ex osure time control of camera logic then use this mode.
Note that some latency can be observered which is significant in o osite to
Hardware Trigger.

3 Software SVCapture/GigE Vision Camera Viewer
3.1 Overview
You can use the SVCa ture without the “Filter Driver” but if you want to lower the CPU
load when grabbing images install it now. SEE APPENDIX “D”
You will o serve a loss of frames if you don’t use the driver
If you have installed the camera and connected ower, you can install SVCap-
ture.exe and the DRIVER to do the first test. Double click on the SVCa ture icon
and a window will o en.
The Software “SVCa ture” dis lays images sent from SVS GigE-Cameras via Gigabit
Ethernet to your PC (with Windows XP windows 7) and it allows for adjusting basic
camera settings.
3.2 Adjusting TCP/IP resp. network settings
If the live image is not dis layed as shown before, this is most often caused by ina -
ro riate network settings. In this case the camera’s network settings have to be ad-
justed first before getting it into an o erational mode.
Adjust settings accordingly
Settings->Network connections->LAN-connection->Pro erties->TCP/IP
In a network with a DHCP server the camera will obtain its IP address automatically
and the settings shown in the screenshot above will be on “Obtain an IP address au-
tomatically.
3.3 Adjusting TCP/IP resp. network settings
If the live image is not dis layed as shown before, this is most often caused by ina -
ro riate network settings. In this case the camera’s network settings have to be ad-
justed first before getting it into an o erational mode.
Adjust settings accordingly
