Introduction Introduction This Prosilica GC Technical Manual describes in depth the technical specifications of the Prosilica GC camera family including dimensions, feature overview, I/O definition, trigger timing waveforms, and frame rate performance. For information on software installation read the GigE Installation Manual. For detailed information on camera features and controls specific to the Prosilica GC refer to the GigE Features Reference and GigE Camera and Driver Attributes documents.

Introduction Manual conventions To give this manual an easily understood layout and to emphasize important information, the following typographical styles and symbols are used: Styles Style Function Example Bold Programs, inputs, or highlighting important information bold Courier Code listings etc. Input Upper case Register REGISTER Italics Modes, fields Mode Parentheses and/or blue Links (Link) Table 2: Styles Symbols Note This symbol highlights important information.
Introduction Precautions Caution Do not disassemble the camera housing. Warranty is void if camera has been disassembled. This camera contains sensitive internal components. Caution Keep shipping material. Poor packaging of the product may cause damage during shipping. Caution Verify all external connections. Verify all external connections in terms of voltage levels, power requirements, voltage polarity, and signal integrity prior to powering the device. Caution Cleaning.
Introduction Caution Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers can damage fragile optical coatings. Identifying debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened area or smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which appears as a distinct point. Locating debris First determine whether the debris is on the sensor glass, IR filter (if used), or lens.
Introduction Caution Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approximately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt the can, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden cold air can crack the optic glass. View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present, repeat the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be dislodged. If this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.
Conformity Conformity Allied Vision Technologies declares under its sole responsibility that all standard cameras of the Prosilica GC family to which this declaration relates are in conformity with the following standard(s) or other normative document(s): • CE, following the provisions of 2004/108/EG directive • FCC Part 15 Class A • RoHS (2011/65/EU) We declare, under our sole responsibility, that the previously described Prosilica GC cameras conform to the directives of the CE.

Camera attribute highlights Camera attribute highlights Allied Vision cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies a selection of interesting capabilities of the Prosilica GC camera family.
Filter Filter All Prosilica GC color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR filter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared wavelength photons from passing to the sensor. In the absence of IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced. Monochrome cameras do not employ an IR filter. The figure below shows the filter transmission response for the IRC30 filter employed in the Prosilica GC cameras.
Camera dimensions Camera dimensions The Prosilica GC family offers both CCD and CMOS sensor models. CCD cameras utilize additional circuitry required for A/D conversion. As a result, CMOS models offer a shorter mechanical package then CCD models. Prosilica GC750, GC1280 26 M3x4 (4x) 38 26 26 M3x4 (2x) M3x4 (2x) 13.9* 50.6* 33.9 30.8 *Nominal value.

The same mounting plate can be used for all models within the GC camera family.

Camera dimensions C-Mount flange focal distance Flange focal distance is the optical distance from the mounting flange to image sensor die. Prosilica GC C-Mount cameras are optically calibrated to a standard 17.526 mm optical flange focal distance, with a ±10 μm tolerance. www Prosilica GC cameras are shipped with adjustable C-Mount. The camera can also be built with a CS-Mount with a standard 12.50 mm optical flange focal distance and a ± 10 μm tolerance.
Camera dimensions Lens protrusion for C-Mount cameras Lens protrusion is the distance from outer edge of C-Mount ring to contact point of first surface internal to C-Mount ring. For color cameras this surface is the IRfilter holder, and for mono cameras this surface is the internal camera front plate (see figure 33). Table 18 presents lens protrusion values for Prosilica GC cameras with C-Mount.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces This chapter provides information on Gigabit Ethernet port, inputs and outputs, and trigger features. www Accessories: Please contact Allied Vision sales representative or your local Allied Vision dealer for information on accessories: http://www.alliedvision.com/en/about-us/where-weare.
Camera interfaces Gigabit Ethernet port The Gigabit Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. We recommend using Category 6 or higher compatible cabling and connectors for best performance. www Note GigE Installation Manual offers detailed instructions for using Prosilica GC cameras. http://www.alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/ products/cameras/various/installation-manual/ GigE_Installation_Manual.

Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera power The Prosilica GC camera family has recently been updated to offer an expanded input power voltage range. The camera serial number is used to differentiate between cameras that offer 5–16 VDC and those that offer 5– 25 VDC. Caution • • www Note SN 02-XXXXX-06000 to 02-XXXXX-07999: – 5– 16 V. 12 V nominal. SN ≥ 02-XXXXX-08XXX: – 5– 25 V. 12 V nominal For more information on the power voltage range update for the Prosilica GC family: http://www.
Camera interfaces Input triggers Input triggers allow the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or level of the signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event. In 1 – opto-isolated In 1 is optically isolated and can be used in electrically noisy environments to prevent false trigger events.
Camera interfaces Out 1 – opto-isolated Out 1 signal is optically isolated and requires a user voltage with a suitable pull up resistor. Tie signal ground to Isolated IO GND to complete the external circuit. See Camera I/O opto-isolated user circuit example for wiring information. Out 2– non-isolated Out 2 signal is not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response is required. Use Signal GND to complete the external circuit.
Camera interfaces Video iris output description Prosilica GC cameras provide built-in auto iris controls for controlling videotype auto-iris lenses. These lenses are available from many popular security lens companies including Pentax, Fujinon, Tamron, Schneider, etc. Remote iris lens control allows the camera to be more adaptable to changing light conditions. It allows the user to manually control the exposure and gain values and rely solely on the auto iris for adjustment to ambient lighting.

Firmware update Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. Allied Vision provides an application for all Prosilica GC cameras that loads firmware to the camera using a simple interface. New feature introductions and product improvements motivate new firmware releases. All users are encouraged to use the newest firmware available and complete the firmware update if necessary. www Download the latest GigE firmware loader from the Allied Vision website: http://www.
Resolution and ROI frame rates Resolution and ROI frame rates This section charts the resulting frame rate from changing sensor region of interest (ROI), from full image to a single line. Note • Frame rate data was generated using StreamBytesPerSecond = 124 MB/s and an 8-bit pixel format such as Mono8, BayerBG8, or BayerRG8. Frame rates may be lower if using network hardware incapable of 124 MB/s.
