234 • Operational Reference Nano Series GigE Vision Camera
GigE Vision Host Control Category
The GigE Vision Host controls as shown by CamExpert, has parameters used to configure the host
computer system GigE Vision features used for Genie Nano networking management. None of
these parameters are stored in any Genie Nano camera.
These features allow optimizing the network configuration for maximum Nano bandwidth. Settings
for these parameters are highly dependent on the number of cameras connected to a NIC, the data
rate of each camera and the trigger modes used.
Information on these features is found in the Teledyne DALSA Network Imaging Module User
manual.
Teledyne DALSA TurboDrive
For Genie Nano cameras supporting TurboDrive, ensure to set the feature “Turbo Transfer Mode”
to True.
For information on TurboDrive see our technology primer:

Plus this application note reviews Teledyne DALSA’s continued development of TurboDrive:

Important: When using Metadata in conjunction with TurboDrive, the Nano driver (all models)
requires that the image acquisition width (horizontal crop) must be a minimum of 160 pixels in
8-bit mode or 96 pixels in 10/12-bit mode. The driver requires this minimum width to correctly
apply the TurboDrive compression algorithm. When acquisitions are cropped more than the
minimum widths, TurboDrive is automatically disabled while Metadata remains active.
File Access Control Category
The File Access control in CamExpert allows the user to quickly upload various data files to the
connected Genie Nano. The supported data files are for firmware updates, and dependent on the
Nano model, LUT tables, Defective Pixel Map and other Sapera file types.
Features listed in the description table but tagged as Invisible are usually for Teledyne DALSA or
third party software usage—not typically needed by end user applications.
Also important, Genie Nano cameras are available in a number of models implementing different
sensors and image resolutions which may not support the full feature set defined in this category.
