•Refer to the Sapera LT 8.7 (or newer) release notes for information on GigE Vision support.
Camera Firmware
Teledyne DALSA Genie Nano-10G camera firmware contains open source software provided under different open
source software licenses. More information about these open source licenses can be found in the documentation
that accompanies the firmware, which is available on the Teledyne DALSA website at www.teledynedalsa.com or
downloaded directly from the Nano.
Important: Genie Nano-10G firmware updates are available for download from the Teledyne DALSA web site
www.teledynedalsa.com/en/support/downloads-center/firmware. Choose Genie Nano-10G 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 easily be upgraded 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-10G cameras are 100% compliant with the GigE Vision 2.0
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
www.automate.org/a3-content/vision-standards-gige-vision.
Genie Nano-10G 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.emva.org/standards-technology/genicam.
The Teledyne DALSA GigE Vision Module provides a license-free development platform for Teledyne DALSA
GigE hardware or Sapera vision applications. Also 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-10G firmware allowing
GigE Vision compliant applications access to the camera capabilities and controls immediately after connection.

Heat Sink Requirements
To minimize the camera body size, the camera is designed to convey heat to the external casing and
therefore must be heat-sinked to maintain the front plate temperature within operating temperature
specifications.
For more information, refer to the Temperature Management section.
Network Hardware Considerations
Network devices connected to Genie Nano-10G cameras must support 10, 5, 2.5 or 1 Gbps connections.
To utilize the full 10 Gbps bandwidth output of the Genie Nano-10G, all network hardware and cables between the
camera and the host computer must be capable of handling a 10 Gbps bandwidth.
It is recommended to test network device performance since certain devices may not achieve acceptable results
in actual operation (depending on the device manufacturer’s implementation). In general, it is always
recommended to use the latest device drivers provided by the manufacturer.

10 •Genie Nano-10G Specifications Nano-10G Series GigE Vision Cameras
Note: certain 10 Gbps NICs do not support 5 Gbps (or 2.5 Gbps) speed; connecting 5 Gbps
devices results in the connection speed lowered to the common supported speed of 1 Gbps.
Depending on what you require from your system (quick response, throughput, system robustness, etc.) and on
the number of cameras, settings will differ. Typical parameters to consider are listed below.
For the host computer NIC:
•Receive buffers (descriptors)
•Receive Side Scaling (RSS) Queue
•Flow Control (PAUSE Frame)
•Jumbo Packet
•Interrupt Moderation Rate
For any switch:
•Memory allocated to internal buffers
•Flow Control (PAUSE frame) support
•Jumbo Packet
For the host application:
•Number of image acquisition buffers
It is recommended that the packet size be adjusted accordingly for optimal performance given the
network topology (with or without a switch), especially when using packet sizes within 1500 to
3000 bytes and 4000 to 8000 bytes ranges.
For example, certain switches might perform better using a packet size of 4096 bytes instead of
9000 bytes.
Some Ethernet Switches may produce more Pause Frame requests than expected when Jumbo
Frames is enabled. Changing the Ethernet Packet Size may minimize Pause Requests from such
a switch and improve overall transfer bandwidth.
Ethernet cable category, manufacturer, quality, and length can also affect performance.
For additional information, refer to the Sapera LT Getting Started Manual and to the Network Imaging Package for
Sapera LT —Optimization Guide, which are included with the installation of Sapera LT.
