This model is built with InGaAs sensor that has

wide spectral sensitivity between

400nm~1700nm, and the resolution of this sensor

is SXGA(1280x1024).

ABA-003VIR

This model is built with InGaAs sensor that has

wide spectral sensitivity between 400~1700nm,

and the resolution of this sensor is VGA(640x512).

Interface

User can choose one of the followings.

Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)

Gig.E Vision interface for ease of use in PC.

GenICam is supported.

Camera Link (SDR)

Camera Link base configuration is supported.

This interface is preferred for the application

requiring a faster frame rate and reliability.

Various Functions

Following functions are provided in this product and

simply programmed by sending a command.

・Gain

・Exposure Control

・LUT(Look-up table）

・Output Bit

・Defect Pixel Correction

・Shading Correction

Exposure Control

Exposure control is available in a unit of 1μs.

External Trigger for Exposure Control

User can control exposure timing synchronizing with

an external trigger signal.

Camera Mounting

The camera has mounting holes on top and bottom

of the housing.

LUT (Look-up table)

User can select whether to use LUT function or not

by set On/Off. For the details of how to program LUT,

please refer to section 4-9 LUT.

Output Bit

User can configure the camera to output image data

8, 10 or 12 bit.

Defect Pixel Correction

Defect pixel can be compensated by defect pixel

correction function. If you want to use this function ,

you can activate it by set On/Off.

Shading Correction

Shading image generally caused from the lighting or

lens can be corrected by shading correction function.

If you want to use this function, you can activate it by

set On/Off.

SFNC Standard

Except for the few, all the functionalities‘ name

described in this manual are used conforming to the

GenICam SFNC(Standard Features Naming

Convention).

NOTE

It is applicable to GigE version camera only.

2-2 InGaAs Sensor’s Characteristics

InGaAs sensor has unique characteristics and limitations

accordingly, and while using SWIR camera you may see

the phenomenon as described below due to the sensor’s

characteristic and operating principles.

※This chapter is describing about InGaAs sensor and

some of contents are not relevant to camera’s

specification.

Blooming

When shooting a bright light source, the source of

the light may appear as a bright halo around the

highlight.

Horizontal Smear

When shooting a bright light source, it may appear

the horizontal stripe.

Blooming & Smear

Aliasing

It comes especially with continuous(geometrc) model

such as stripes, line, etc., and makes moire patterns

or jaggies in the image.

Defect Pixel

It is the pixel that does not have linearity in regard to

light intensity to video level. Generally, InGaAs

sensor has more defect pixels compared to Si

Sensor.

Black Spot

This is the pixel that output luminance is lower than

surrounding pixels, and it is caused by that the

electron is leaked to the pixels top or down, left or

right.

White Spot

This is the pixel that output luminance is lower than

surrounding pixels, and it may appear with long

exposure.

Other Pixel Defect

・Several defect spots adjacent each other

(Cluster defect)

・Linearity of output luminance is considerably low.

・Defect pixels appear on specific frame only.

White Spot & Black Spot

Video Level & Light Intensity

White Pixel

Occasionally white pixel may appear caused by cosmic

ray. This comes with the principle of InGaAs sensor’s

operation.

Horizontal Channel Difference

The sensor is able to output by 2 or 4 channels at once.

In case of this operation, it may cause luminance level

difference horizontally due to each channel’s

performance. This case is resolved by shading

correction function.

Etc.,

In case of using the camera under one of below

environment, it may occur degradation of image quality.

・Operation in high temperature

・Gain offset

・Long Exposure

NOTE

When the bright light source is exposed to the sensor, it

makes the image darker. Bright light direct exposure may

cause sensor damage. So, avoid the sensor to be

exposed such light or adjust the light intensity by lens.
