EN Camera Series 1. Operation Manual Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope of this Manual This manual covers the operation of the following traffic control cameras: the TS-4032EN, TSC4032EN, TS-2030EN, TSC-2030EN, TS-2076EN, TSC-2076EN, TS-1327EN, and TSC-1327EN. The remainder of this manual will use the term “EN camera” to refer to features that apply to all of these cameras. Specific model numbers will be used to describe features or specifications that apply only to certain models.
EN Camera Series 1.4 Product Description The EN camera is an all-in-one progressive scan and Ethernet CCD camera, with a built in image capture/storage function, and image-processing software using a built-in PowerPC processor. The EN Camera performs JPEG compression and automatic FTP transmission of captured images to a file server.
EN Camera Series 2 Getting Started 2.1 Required Equipment Figure 1. Typical Equipment Setup *Each camera requires a PD-12 12-V power supply. For details, please see "Power Supplies and Cable Setup." 2.2 • PD-12 power supply • Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable • 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch • Debug-232 serial/power cable (JAI Inc. part number 31013219) Network Settings 2.2.1 Default Network Settings for the EN Camera The factory default network setting for the EN camera is as follows:: IP address: 10.0.
EN Camera Series 2.2.2 (a) Changing the IP Address of the EN Camera Using the EN Setup Software You can use the EN setup software to change the IP address of the camera. Use the steps below. 1. First, set up your PC's network setting properly so that your PC has the 10.0.0.XX subnet. However, XX must not be 65, because the host PC's IP address cannot be the same as that of the camera. The subnet address must be 255.255.255.0. 2. Next, open the EN setup software.
EN Camera Series 3 Tutorial This section demonstrates typical operations of the EN camera that most applications will require. This tutorial is intended for first-time users of the EN camera. Go through this section step-by-step to familiarize yourself with the EN camera’s operations. 3.1 Image Capturing 3.1.1 Start Up the EN Setup Software Find the “EN Setup” shortcut on your desktop or go to “Start” -> “All Programs” -> “EN Setup” -> “EN Setup.” Start the “EN Setup” software.
EN Camera Series Figure 4. 3.1.3 Camera Properties Live Image Capturing/Focusing Click the “Video” button. Highlight the icon of the camera you want to see. Click the “Full Size” and “Live” video buttons. You will now see a live video image. The live image is generated by an internal trigger mechanism inside the EN camera. This internal trigger is independent of either FTP or message-based TCP image. Also, during live image display, Flash is disabled at nighttime.
EN Camera Series Figure 5. Live Image Capturing Figure 6. Focus Bar Use the “Focus Bar” button to make precise adjustments to the lens focus.
EN Camera Series Figure 7. Measuring Box Position Use the “Measuring Box” button to make sure the license plate or particular target is in the correct side of the video field of view. Figure 8. Half Size Image Position The “Half Size” image button is useful for situations in which two EN cameras together cover a single lane. Using the “Half Size” image button to capture two images: one on the left side of camera1, the other on the right side of camera2.
EN Camera Series and drag it to either the left or right video frame. Click the “Live” button to see the live image. Use the focus tool to make precise adjustments to the lens focus. Figure 9. Quad Size Image Button Click the “Quad Size” image button to capture four images. Each image will then be reduced from the full resolution to one-quarter resolution. Click and drag the camera icon to the desired quad image frame. Click the “Live” button to see a live image.
EN Camera Series . 3.1.4 Image Properties You can monitor the image properties of captured images, whether it’s “Live,” “Snap,” or “Trigger Sniffing” mode. On the Video Window menu, select “Image Properties” under “View.” You can also use the EN setup software to monitor the image properties of saved images and FTP images.
EN Camera Series 3.2 Image Transfer 3.2.1 FTP Image Transfer To transfer images via FTP, first make sure to set up the FTP server properly. Please check the following items: The username/password or anonymous login must be set for FTP server. Set the permission of the read/write/create directory. First, type the IP address of the FTP server (destination IP). If you have a second FTP server, enter that IP address as well.
EN Camera Series operate properly. ADR operation can be enabled/disabled by the user at any time. Make sure to set up Moxa (RS-485 to Ethernet converter) properly. See (VIS400 manual Appendix A). In the camera’s “Properties” window, set up the light sensor’s IP address and Port number. These numbers must be consistent with Moxa’s setting. You can connect up to two light sensors. If two IP addresses and port numbers are identical, then the EN camera tries to connect only a single light sensor.
EN Camera Series Also, check the “Error Status” register. If there is a connection error, LS1_ERR or LS2_ERR is set. If a light sensor is not required for your application, set the “Camera ADR Control” register to “Manual.” 3.3.2 Flash Nighttime Light Control The strobe and continuous nighttime light can be manually turned on and off. Set “Flash Auto/Manual” and “Night light Control” registers to Manual OFF or ON. Generate an Ethernet trigger or input TTL trigger to see Flash.
EN Camera Series 3.4 Time Synchronization The EN camera supports NTP (network time protocol) synchronization. If you disable NTP by clearing the “NTP Client Control” register, then the internal clock will drift approximately 1.5 seconds per day. To reset the clock, set the “Real Time Clock” register to your current local time. If you decide to take advantage of the NTP feature, make sure to set up the NTP server, preferably with GPS input. This guarantees that the clock drift is within 10ms.
EN Camera Series The first two options, EN setup software, and Telnet, require that the network settings of the EN camera such as IP address and Subnet Mask be known, while the last two options do not. If Ethernet is not available, then the last two options will be useful. The EN setup software is the easiest way to change IP address. In the “Properties” window, change the network setting registers. After changing these registers, reboot the camera. The new setting appears at the next power-up.
EN Camera Series 3.6 Maintenance 3.6.1 Debug Counters For debugging purposes, some status registers are available as debug counters. Detailed information for each debugging counter is included in the LC-EN Interface document. This tutorial covers the following debug counters. • Trigger Filter Noise count = number of hardware TTL triggers that failed trigger noise filter. • PRE Filter Noise count = number of hardware TTL triggers that failed PRE filter.
EN Camera Series If you set the PRE trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable PRE condition, then only “PRE Filter Noise count” must be incremented. However, all other counters remain the same. If you set the POST trigger filter to 10ms but the TTL trigger has only 9ms stable POST condition, then the “POST Filter Noise count” must be incremented.
EN Camera Series If you want to update multiple cameras at the same time, use the SHIFT key to highlight multiple cameras. Then, right-click to select “Update Firmware in Camera(s).” 3.6.3 RS-232 PowerPC Debug Port If you have the debug RS-232 serial/power cable, you can debug EN cameras over the serial port. This is useful when Ethernet is not available.
EN Camera Series After typing the “/” key, you should see the following monitor menu. Enter “3” to select “Change IP addresses” mode. Enter “1” to select Ethernet interface 1. Enter “1” again to select “Change local address. Enter the new IP address. ” After setting the new IP address, type “0” to exit the monitor menu. After the boot-up sequence, login to the serial terminal. (Username = root, Password = JAIPULNiX) Type “en -v > version.txt.” View the content of “version.
EN Camera Series Enter the command “ps” to see what processes are running. If the “dhcpc” daemon is running, kill this process. To do so, enter, for example, “kill .” Enter the command “ifconfig” to see if the network is up and running. Eth0 is the network interface of the EN camera. In the above example, the EN’s network is set to the following: IP address = 10.0.0.65. Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0.
EN Camera Series 4 Uploading the Firmware There are five pieces of firmware inside the EN camera that you can upload over the Ethernet. They are: EN_APP: top-level application software. OS_Image: Linux OS image and basic tile system Lib/drV: library and driver file package FPGA Bitfile: FPGA firmware (Extension “.4032bit” for TS(C)-34032EN, “.bit” for all other EN cameras) H8: H8 firmware. H8 is responsible for serial communication to the CCD camera module and Gamma LUT. 4.

EN Camera Series 6 Camera Features 6.1 Progressive Scanning Standard TV-system scanning is 525 lines interlace scanning as specified in the RS-170 protocol. Every other horizontal line (odd lines and even lines) is scanned at a 60Hz rate per field, and the scanning is completed with two fields (one frame) at 30Hz rate. Because of the interlace scanning, the vertical resolution of CCD cameras is limited at 350 TV lines, regardless of the horizontal resolution.

EN Camera Series 6.3 ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) Control ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control is a key algorithm of EN cameras. The ADR algorithm controls the EN camera parameters on a continuous basis to maintain the contrast-to-noise of the license plates on passing vehicles to a suitable level required for automatic license plate reading algorithms.
EN Camera Series Shadow factor is used to calculate the contrast of the Light Sensor A Side to the B Side of the light sensor. Based on this Shadow Factor, the camera’s ADR logic optimizes the camera parameters (exposure time, gain, vtop, vbot, pedestal). Please do not change this value and keep the factory default (See EN to LC Interface Document for the factory default).

EN Camera Series 6.3.3 Video Amplifier Gain Control Normally, video amplifier gain is controlled automatically by an ADR (Automatic Dynamic Range) control algorithm inside the EN, based on the output from the light sensor. However, the user can manually change gain value by using the EN setup software (See Section 7.2 on page 47 for more information).
EN Camera Series Note: Gain Value is Gain entry in camera LUT after calibration. When the EN camera is controlled by a light sensor, user can monitor the gain value in the EN setup software by accessing "Camera Gain" status register (Address = 232). This Gain value is the Gain Table Entry in LUT after calibration (left side of the table above). 6.3.4 HDR Mode (4032EN Only) By enabling HDR mode, the dynamic range increases by 12dB (x4).
EN Camera Series To enable the HDR mode, 1. Start ENSetup software. 2. Open Video WIndow. 3. Right-click the camera icon, and select "Manual Exposure” menu item. 4. Click HDR mode check box and “Save in Camera” button. To disable HDR mode, uncheck the box and click “Save in Camera” button. If HDR mode is enabled, set the target grayscale of the license plate to 190~200DN, during the installation, by adjusting “ADR A side Gain” (daytime), and “ADR A side Offset” (night time). See section 6.3.1 for detail.
EN Camera Series on the output from the light sensor. The user can manually turn on and off the strobe and night light if necessary. You need to be able to access the following registers by means of the EN setup software. Register Address 10: Night Light Control Register Address 11: Night Light ON threshold and Flash enable. Register Address 12: Night Light OFF threshold and Flash enable.
EN Camera Series Figure 18. CFA Pattern Because the color filter array contains only a single R, G or B color in each pixel, the restored image has to fill in colors in the missing pixel locations. The software uses neighboring pixel information to "guess" the missing colors to make smooth, clear images. This is called "color interpolation." Because the EN Camera does not contain internal color-processing circuitry, viewer software must perform color interpolation on host PC side.
EN Camera Series 6.7.2 JPEG Format JPEG is the industry-standard format for lossy image compression. Output file size, quality and speed of the encoding depends on the quality setting. The user can set the proper quality setting by accessing the "JPEG Quality Factor" config register (Address = 46). The factory default is 85. Access to “Image Acquisition 1” and “Image Acquisition 2” config registers (Address = 3 and 9, respectively) and turn on JPEG format. Factory default setting is TIF format only.
EN Camera Series Figure 19. Enable TCP Image An API (application program interface) for Windows is available. Using an API, the time required to develop software for device discovery, command communication, and image transfer can be shortened. Please contact JAI Inc. for further information. 6.9 Image Buffering Full size TIF images, JPEG images, and ODD/EVEN field images are independently managed in image buffers. Each buffer is a sequential image queue.
EN Camera Series 6.11 NTP (Network Time Protocol) The EN Camera supports the NTP (Network Time Protocol) client. NTP is the industry-standard time synchronization mechanism over the network. For LAN, the synchronization accuracy within a few milliseconds is achievable. Normally, the EN cameras can maintain the accuracy within 10ms as a worst-case scenario in LAN. All NTP setup can be done using the EN setup software.
EN Camera Series . 7 Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting 7.1 Problem 1: What Password Allows Login from a RS232 Debug Port or Telnet Session to the EN Camera? User name = root, password = JAIPULNiX 7.2 Problem 2: What is a Password to Start the EN Setup Software? The factory default setting is, user name = Administrator; password = Password. Once you log in for the first time, you can change the administrator’s password or create a new user.
EN Camera Series 7.6 Problem 6: TTL Trigger/Ethernet Trigger/Serial RS-485 Trigger Does not Generate Trigger 1. Make sure that the “Trigger” register is set properly to enable TTL Trigger/Ethernet Trigger/Serial RS-485 trigger. In the “Properties” window of the EN setup software, you can read/write “Trigger” register. 2. If you choose dataID source to be RS-485 or Ethernet, make sure to send dataID within the pre/post message time window defined in those registers.
EN Camera Series 7.10 Problem 10: The EN Camera Does not connect to light sensor. 1. Make sure to set the proper IP address and port number for the light sensor in the EN registers. 2. Verify that the ADR register is set to "Auto" to connect to the light sensor. 7.11 Problem 11: Light Sensor Connection is Not reliable. Inconsistent light sensor connection and communication can be solved with the following changes; For UDP connection (Recommended. Max connection = 128): 1.
EN Camera Series 7.13 Problem 13: Night Time Image is Too Bright and License Plate is Whited Out or Saturated 1. Make sure that the light sensor is connected to the EN camera (Set ADR register to Auto). 2. Add ADR A offset to reduce the gain at night time. ADR offset is used only when the night light is turned on. When ADR A offset is high, the EN camera reduces the system gain and the brightness of the license plate is reduced. Add only to ADR A offset. 7.
