Genie Nano Series Overview
Description
The Genie Nano series, a member of the Genie camera family, provides a new series of affordable
easy to use digital cameras specifically engineered for industrial imaging applications requiring
improved network integration.
Genie Nano cameras use the industries’ latest leading sensors such as the Sony Pregius series and
On-Semi Python series of global shutter active pixel-type CMOS image sensors.
Genie Nano cameras combine standard gigabit Ethernet technology (supporting GigE Vision 1.2)
with the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably capture and
transfer images from the camera to the host PC. Genie Nano cameras are available in a number of
models implementing different sensors, image resolutions, and feature sets, either in monochrome,
monochrome NIR, or color versions.
GigE with TurboDrive
Genie Nano cameras include TurboDrive™ technology, delivering high speed data transfers
exceeding the GigE limit. TurboDrive uses advanced data modeling to boost data transfers up to 2
or 3 times faster than standard GigE Vision speeds – with no loss of image quality. These
breakthrough rates are achieved using a proprietary process that assembles data from the sensor
to optimize throughput, simultaneously taking full advantage of both the sensor’s maximum frame
rate and the camera’s maximum GigE data transfer speed (up to 115 Mbytes/s). Teledyne DALSA’s
TurboDrive increases system dependability and robustness similar to Camera Link throughput on a
GigE network.
Important: Actual Transfers with TurboDrive is image content dependent but in the best case
scenario, transfers over a GigE Network can reach the camera’s internal acquisition limit of up to
252MB/sec. If transfers are less than the camera maximum acquisition rate, camera memory will
be used as a circular frame buffer. Refer to TurboDrive Primer on the Teledyne DALSA web site for more
details.

GigE Firmware
Firmware updates for Genie Nano are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA web site
www.teledynedalsa.com/imaging/support/downloads. Choose Genie Nano Firmware from the
available download sections, then choose the zip file download specific to your camera model.
When using Sapera LT, update the camera firmware using CamExpert (see File Access via the
CamExpert Tool).
The Camera firmware can also be easily upgrade/downgrade within your own application via the
API. The camera has a failsafe scheme which prevents unrecoverable camera errors even in the
case of a power interruption.

About GigE Vision
Genie Nano cameras are 100% compliant with the GigE Vision 1.2
specification which defines the communication interface protocol used by any
GigE Vision device. The device description and capabilities are contained in an
XML file. For more information see:
http://www.machinevisiononline.org/public/articles/index.cfm?cat=167
Genie Nano cameras implement a superset of the GenICam™ specification
which defines device capabilities. This description takes the form of an XML
device description file respecting the syntax defined by the GenApi module of
the GenICam™ specification. For more information see www.genicam.org.
The Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision Module provides a license free development platform for Teledyne
DALSA GigE hardware or Sapera vision applications. Additionally supported are Sapera GigE Vision
applications for third party hardware with the purchase of a GigE Vision Module license, or the
Sapera processing SDK with a valid license.
The GigE Vision Compliant XML device description file is embedded within Genie Nano firmware
allowing GigE Vision Compliant applications access to Genie Nano capabilities and controls
immediately after connection.
