2 The SHR series
2.3 High precision with large pixels
The SVCam SHR series is a series of industrial machine vision cameras fea-
turing especially on very high image resolutions with large pixels and global shut-
ter. In the industrial machine vision business, there are applications where global
shutter with high resolutions cannot permit compromises on image quality. This is
the playground for the SHR.
Wide fields of view and global shutter make this camera series your prime choice
for demanding applications such as optical meteorology, aerial imaging or sci-
entific research. Global shutter reduces optical distortion on the sensor side, large
pixels reduce noise and extend the usable dynamic range.
One of the most compact camera modules of its class
SVS-VISTEK is introducing high-class sensors with high resolutions and large
pixels to generate high-resolution images in an outstanding quality. This covers
sophisticated CCD technology as well as latest CMOS sensors. High and ultra-
high resolutions with large pixels are challenging. We combine our advanced
knowledge in these areas with a robust I/O design and advanced industrial cam-
era layout, providing reliable excellence in industrial imaging.
Best imaging performance is possible only with excellent lenses. Nearly all kinds
of lenses can be adapted to the SHR due to its wide lens opening of 72 mm. Ask
for adapters regarding your specific lens requirement.
2.4 10 GigE Vision
The 10GigE interface is a cost-effective, easily scalable and networkable suc-
cessor to the proven 1GigE standard. 10GigE keeps the 1GigE benefits in net-
work topology. Network access is transparent.
10 GigE on copper lines is a standard existing for years already in professional
internet technology. Basically, it keeps the benefits and fundamental ideas of
GigE and adds the ten times higher speed. There are 2 main disadvantages com-
pared to GigE:
l
Higher heat dissipation in 10 GigE devices
l
Reduced cable lengths
By using high-quality (CAT6 and better) cables, cable lengths of up to 100 m are
possible and compensating the first disadvantage. Nonetheless, despite using
the latest 10 GigE transceivers in the devices, the increased power dissipation
still will result in slightly larger camera housings.
2.4.1 Speed is king
The benefit of 10 GigE is the higher speed: Up to 1.1 GB/s of data are possible,
what is matching the speed-range of latest high-performance image sensors.
2.4.2 Optimized network adapter tuning
For best performance on Windows, 10 GigE adapters still need some manual tun-
ing. Please refer to the latest “Optimal network adapter settings for GigE/10GigE”
