Camera operation
1. General
This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-200GE/CM-
200GE-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA
The CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA/CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA are a GigE Vision compliant camera, based
on the CM-200MCL/CB-200MCL. Both the monochrome version CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA and the
color version CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA provide a frame rate of 25 frames/second at full resolution.
Using vertical binning (CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA only) and partial scan provides higher frame rates.
The 1/1.8" CCD with square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter function
and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast
moving objects.
The color version CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA, based on CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic
filter, outputs raw Bayer images. Host-based color interpolation is required to display or save
color images.
The CM-200GE/CM-200GE-RA/CB-200GE/CB-200GE-RA also comply with the GenICam standard and
contains an internal XML file that is used to describe the functions/features of the camera. For
