6•Genie Monochrome Series Overview Genie Monochrome Series-GigE Vision Camera

Genie Monochrome Series
Overview
Description
The Genie monochrome camera family form a series of affordable, easy to use digital
cameras specifically engineered for industrial imaging applications. Genie cameras combine
standard gigabit Ethernet technology with the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability
(T2IR) framework to dependably capture and transfer images from the camera to the host
PC.
All Genie cameras are supported by Teledyne DALSA Sapera™ LT software libraries featuring
CamExpert for simplified camera set-up and configuration. Sapera LT is field proven in
thousands of robust industrial applications. Hardware independent, Sapera LT delivers the
same reliable performance regardless of the image acquisition device being used. This
unique feature allows OEM’s to start using the Genie without re-writing applications
developed for Teledyne DALSA frame grabbers. In addition, Sapera LT includes powerful
diagnostics and setup utilities for application development, custom camera configurations
and system deployment.

Genie Sensor Overview
Each sensor description below provides a specification table and response graphic. The
graph describes the sensor response to different wavelengths of light (excluding lens and
light source characteristics). Visible light spans wavelengths between about 390 - 780
nanometers. Wavelengths below 390 nm are termed ultra-violet while those above 780 nm.
are termed infra-red. The peak response is around 500 nanometers typical for each sensor
model, corresponding to a shade of blue-green.
