Genie Nano Series Overview
Description
The Genie Nano series, a member of the Genie camera family, provides a new series of affordable
easy to use digital cameras specifically engineered for industrial imaging applications requiring
improved network integration.
Genie Nano cameras use the industries’ latest leading sensors such as the Sony Pregius series of
global shutter active pixel-type CMOS image sensors.
Genie Nano cameras combine standard gigabit Ethernet technology (supporting GigE Vision 1.2)
with the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably capture and
transfer images from the camera to the host PC. Genie Nano cameras are available in a number of
models implementing different sensors, image resolutions, and feature sets, either in monochrome
or color versions.
GigE with TurboDrive
Genie Nano cameras include TurboDrive™ technology, delivering high speed data transfers
exceeding the GigE limit. TurboDrive uses advanced data modeling to boost data transfers up to 2
or 3 times faster than standard GigE Vision speeds – with no loss of image quality. These
breakthrough rates are achieved using a proprietary, patent pending process that assembles data
from the sensor to optimize throughput, simultaneously taking full advantage of both the sensor’s
maximum frame rate and the camera’s maximum GigE data transfer speed (up to 110 Mbytes/s).
Teledyne DALSA’s TurboDrive
increases system dependability and robustness similar to Camera
Link throughput on a GigE network.
Important: Actual Transfers with TurboDrive is Image content dependent but in the best case
scenario, transfers over a GigE Network can reach the camera’s internal acquisition limit of 84fps.
If transfers are less than the camera maximum frame rate, camera memory will be used as a
circular frame buffer.
