Introduction Introduction This AVT Prosilica GB Technical Manual describes in depth the technical specifications of the Prosilica GB camera family including dimensions, feature overview, I/O definition, trigger timing waveforms, and frame rate performance. For information on software installation read the AVT GigE Installation Manual.
Introduction Version Date Remarks continued from last page V2.0.4 2013-Oct-02 • • • • • V2.0.
Introduction Caution www This symbol highlights important instructions. You have to follow these instructions to avoid malfunctions. This symbol highlights URLs for further information. The URL itself is shown in blue. Example: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com 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.
Introduction Cleaning optics Caution Caution AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use utmost care when cleaning optical components. 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.
Introduction Note A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available for purchase from AVT. AVT P/N: E9020001 Cleaning with air Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean compressed air. 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.

Camera attribute highlights Camera attribute highlights AVT cameras support a number of standard and extended features. The table below identifies a selection of interesting capabilities of the Prosilica GB camera family.
Filters Filters All Prosilica GB 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 GB cameras.

Mechanical drawings Adjustment of lens mount www Prosilica GB cameras can be equipped with an adjustable CMount or a CS-Mount depending on sensor size and camera order code. AVT Modular Concept for more information: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/us/support/downloads/ product-literature/avt-modular-concept.html The C-Mount or CS-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting. If for some reason the lens mount requires adjustment, use the following method.
Camera interfaces Camera interfaces This chapter provides information on Gigabit Ethernet port, inputs and outputs, and trigger features. www For more information on GigE accessories: http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/ accessories/gige-accessories.
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 The AVT GigE Installation Manual offers detailed instructions for using Prosilica GB cameras. http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/fileadmin/content/PDF/ Products/Technical_Manual/GigE_Install_Manual/ AVT_GigE_Installation_Manual.

Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera power The Prosilica GB 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 SN: 02-22XXA, 5–16 V. 12 V nominal. SN: 02-22XXB, 5–25 V. 12 V nominal. Note A 12 V power adapter with camera connector is available for purchase from AVT: • • AVT P/N: 02-8007A North America Supply.
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 is optically isolated and should be used in noisy environments. Out 1 requires a pull up resistor of greater than 1 KΩ to the user’s 5 V logic supply. Tie Camera GND to Isolated IO GND to complete the external circuit. See Camera I/ O opto-isolated user circuit example for more 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.

Input trigger voltage greater than 5.5 V will damage the camera. Output: The maximum sync output current is 24 mA, at 3.3 V.
Camera interfaces Video iris user circuit example Prosilica GB series cameras provide built-in auto iris controls for controlling video-type auto-iris lenses. These lenses are available from many popular security lens companies including Pentax, Fujinon, Tamron, Schneider and others. Remote iris lens control allows the camera to be more adaptable to changing light conditions.

Firmware update Firmware update Firmware updates are carried out via the GigE connection. AVT provides an application for all Prosilica GB 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 AVT website: http://www.alliedvisiontec.
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 or BayerRG8. Frame rates may be lower if using network hardware incapable of 124 MB/s.
