Operational Reference

the video frame be
evenly
divisible by a factor of 8 (for the JPEG matrix), followed by an even
division of 2 or 4 for the binning function.
For the TS-M3500 model (Vouvray 8M) reduce the vertical resolution from 2200 lines to 2192
when using Binning=2. Reduce the vertical resolution to 2176 when using Binning=4.
For the TS-M1920 model (CMOSIS 2M) reduce the vertical resolution from 1080 to 1072 when
using Binning=2. Reduce the vertical resolution to 1056 when using Binning=4.
Internal Test Image Generator
The Genie TS camera includes a number of internal test patterns which easily confirm camera
Ethernet connections or driver installations, without the need for a camera lens or proper lighting.
The patterns are subject to Genie processing such as the LUT or Binning functions.
Use CamExpert to easily enable and select the any of the Genie test patterns from the drop menu
while the camera is not in acquisition mode. Select live grab to see the pattern output.
The Genie test patterns are:
Grey Horizontal ramp
:
Image is filled horizontally with an image that goes from the darkest
possible value to the brightest.
Grey Vertical ramp
:
Image is filled vertically with an image that goes from the darkest
possible value to the brightest.
Grey Diagonal Ramp Moving
: combination of the 2 previous schemes, but first pixel in image
is incremented by 1 between successive frames. This is a good pattern to indicate motion when
doing a continuous grab.
The static version of this pattern is
Grey Diagonal Ramp.
Purity
: a purity pattern where all pixels have the same value. The gray value is incremented
by one on successive frames to maximum then repeated. This also provides motion for live
grabs.
User Defined
: Image is a User defined uploaded image for each frame. Such an image must
match the pixel dimensions of the target camera’s sensor. Additionally for color cameras the
user uploaded test image must have the same raw Bayer pixel format.
Using the Multiple ROI Mode
The Multiple ROI mode (region of interest) features allow having 2 to 16 smaller image ROI areas
versus the single ROI area possible with vertical and horizontal crop functions.
These multiple areas are combined as one output image, reducing transfer bandwidth
requirements, plus with the added benefit that any reduction of the number of vertical lines output
will result in a greater possible camera frame rate. This increased frame rate increase (written to
internal memory) is similar to using the vertical crop feature.
Important Usage Details
Two to 16 ROI areas are supported by the Genie TS ( 4x4 matrix maximum).
