3.4.2 Firmware update
Some features may not have been implemented in older software revisions. For
updating your camera firmware to the most recent version, you need the firm-
ware tool “Firmware Update Tool.exe” and the firmware file (download it from
website, login area) matching your camera model.
Execute firmware update
lDownload the GigE firmware tool and the firmware file from the SVS-Vistek
website.
lUnpack everything into any folder, e.g. “C:\temp”.
lEnsure proper network configuration.
lRun the GigE update tool.
lWhen the camera is displayed, choose camera by entering camera index,
e.g. 1 and press ENTER.
lMake sure the new firmware is located in the current folder.
By selecting the camera on the network, the firmware update tool will search the
current folder for matching firmware and start update process.
NOTICE Do not power off during the update process.
Wail until firmware update has been finished.

3.4.3 GigE IP Setup
Your GigEVision camera needs a working network connection. Make sure the
camera is attached to the network and is powered on. Make sure everything is
plugged in properly and that the firewall settings are not blocking the connection
to the camera or SVCapture.

4 Connectors
Cameras from SVS-Vistek feature a combined I/O and power supply connector
(Hirose) and a data connector.
4.1 GigE Vision
4.1.1 Network (TCP/IP)
Address Assignment
By default, the camera does not have a persistent IP address.
When forcing an IP address by using the PC internal network dialog, changes
are only valid until the next restart of the Camera.
For a peer-to-peer connection of a GigE camera to a PC a network address
assignment based on LLA (Local Link Address) is recommended. This involves
a network mask “255.255.0.0” as well as a fixed preamble “169.254.xxx.xxx” of
the network address range. A GigE camera will fall back to LLA when no DHCP
server is available and no fixed network address was assigned to the camera.
Fig.: 4-1: RJ45 socket connector
Jumbo frames
The transport efficiency in the streaming channel can be improved by using
“jumbo frames”. This will reduce overhead caused by maintaining header data
upon each data packet sent. Jumbo frames increase the data size per Ethernet
packet.
Fig.: 4-2: Data reduction with jumbo frames
INFO Higher packet sizes require network cards that support jumbo packets.
Lost packets
In accordance with the TCP protocol, lost or corrupted packets will be resent.
4 Connectors 14

NOTICE Resends result in higher consumption of bandwidths and will lead to drop
frames. High quality cables prevent resends.
Connecting multiple cameras
Multiple GigE cameras can be connected to a PC either via a switch or using
dual or quad port network interface connectors (NIC).
Fig.: 4-3: Connecting multiple cameras on multi NICs
Multiple cameras connected by a switch
To connect multiple cameras by a switch, the switch must be managed. It might
also be necessary to operate the cameras in an “inter packet delay” applying a
smother image data stream.
Fig.: 4-4: Illustration of connecting multiple cameras by a switch
Dual GigE connection is not supported when using a switch.
4 Connectors 15

NOTICE Performance might be lost using multiple Cameras on a single port NIC.
Multicast
When images from a single camera need to be delivered to multiple PCs, mul-
ticast (RFC 2236) is used. A switch receives an image data stream from a cam-
era and distributes it to multiple destinations in this mode.
Since a GigE camera always needs a single controlling application, there will be
only one master application. The controlling master application has to open a
camera in multicast mode (IP 232.x.x.x for local multicast groups) in order to
allow other applications to connect to the same image data stream. Other applic-
ations will become listeners to an existing image data stream. They do not have
control access to the camera; however, potential packet resend requests will be
served in the same manner as for the controlling application.
Fig.: 4-5: Camera casting to multiple receivers (multicast)
4.1.2 XML files
According to the GigE Vision standard a GigE camera provides an XML file that
defines the camera’s capabilities and current settings.
The XML file can be processed by software like SVCapture allowing displaying
and saving it to disk. Settings can also be saved and restored on the Camera
internal EEPROM.
4 Connectors 16

4.2 Input / output connectors
NOTICE Make sure your external power supply meets specifications.
Voltage must not exceed 25 V.
4.2.1 Hirose™ 12-pin connector layout
The Hirose connector provides the connectors to power, inputs and outputs.
INFO For information about switching lights from inside the camera, refer to "LED
strobe control".

This chapter covers features of SVCam cameras. Not every feature might be
supported by your specific camera model. For information about the features of
your specific model, please refer to the specifications area with your exact
model.
6.1 Basic features
6.1.1 Global shutter
The shutter is describing the functionality of exposing the light sensitive pixels
of the sensor to light for a limited time. With global shutter all pixels are exposed
to light at the same time for the same time.
All pixels will be exposed to light at the same starting point, and all pixel light
exposure will stop at the same time. Fast moving objects will be captured
without movement distortion, except motion blur if the moving object is so fast
that the same point of the object covers different pixels at start and end while
exposing.
Using flash with global shutter is straight forward: make sure your flash is on
while shutter is open, thus all pixels are exposed to light the same time. You
might flash at any time within exposure time.
