Introduction
EMVA 1288
With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.
EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured frames.
Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with rigid test parameters, means that all manufacturers’ are measuring their products equally and EMVA 1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.
In order to learn more about EMVA 1288, please visit http://www.emva.org
Interface
The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 employ CoaXPress as an interface system. In order to connect the camera to a PC, it requires the use of a Frame Graber board and the appropriate coaxial cable(s). The maximum video transfer rate per coaxial cable is 6.25 Gbps. In addition to video information, power and control signals can be transferred to the camera over this interface. For detailed specifications, please refer to “JIIA-NTF-001-2010” published by Japan Industrial Imaging
Association, http://www.jiia.org.
Computer used for SP-5000 series
In order to get proper performance from this camera, it is necessary to use a PC equipped with a
PCIe 2.0 slot with a size and capacity of 16 lanes or higher (x16 or x32).
Frame grabber boards used with SP-5000 series
As the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 employ CoaXPress as an interface system, a CoaXPresscompliant frame grabber board is required. Both cameras have four CoaXPress interface connectors and it is recommended that a frame grabber board with at least four interface connectors be used in order to maximize camera performance.
Cables used with SP-5000 series
For the CoaXPress interface, coaxial cables are used. In the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4, they use 75Ω 1.0/2.3 DIN receptacles (Amphenol ACX1785-ND or equivalent). The coaxial cable used to connect the camera must have a 75Ω 1.0/2.3 DIN-type plug at the camera side. An ordinary BNC cable cannot be used.

1. General
The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 are members of JAI’s Spark Series. They are high performance cameras with high resolution and a fast frame rate suitable for high speed machine vision applications. The SP-5000M-CXP4 is a monochrome progressive scan CMOS camera and the SP-
5000C-CXP4 is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera. Both are equipped with a CMOS sensor offering a 1-inch optical format, a resolution of 5.24 million pixels, and a 5:4 aspect ratio. They provide a maximum of 253.8 frames per second for continuous scanning with 2560 x
2048 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.
8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The SP-
5000C-CXP4 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation at reduced frame rates.
The new cameras feature a CoaXPress interface which uses coax cable with the capability of supplying power through the cable. The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 use a quad coaxial cable interface. A full pixel readout, partial scan readout, or binning mode (monochrome only) can be selected depending on the application.
The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 have various comprehensive functions needed for automated optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection. They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, shading compensation and blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting, and video level control.
As a common Spark Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities.
Factory options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems, as well as provide a video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.

Note:
When Pulse Generator Repeat Count is set to “0”, the camera is operating in free-running mode.
However, based on the above default setting, Length=1, Start Point=0 and End Point=1, Pulse Generator stops at
High output. Therefore, if Start Point=0 and End Point=1 are configured, Length should be “2” as the minimum active width.
5.4.1 Clock Pre-scaler
Clock pre-scaler (Divide Value) can set the dividing value of the frequency divider (12-bit length) and the pixel clock is used for this. Four built-in pulse generators work by the same clock. In the SP-5000-CXP4, the clock is set at 86.4 MHz.

5.4.3 Pulse Generator Length
Set the counter up value (number of clocks, refer to Table 14) for the selected pulse generator.
If Repeat Count value is “0”, and if Pulse Generator Clear signal is not input, the pulse generator generates the pulse repeatedly until reaching this counter up value.
5.4.4 Pulse Generator Start Point
Set the active output start count value for the selected pulse generator.
However, please note that a maximum 1 clock jitter for the clock which is divided in the clock pre-scaler can occur.
5.4.5 Pulse Generator End Point
Set the active output ending count value for the selected pulse generator.
5.4.6 Pulse Generator Repeat Count
Set the repeating number of the pulse for the selected pulse generator. After Trigger Clear signal is input, the pulse generator starts the count set in Repeat Count. Accordingly, an active pulse which has a start point and end point can be output repeatedly.
However, if Repeat Count is set to “0”, it works as a free-running counter.
5.4.7 Pulse Generator Clear Activation
Set the clear conditions of clear count pulse for the selected pulse generator.
5.4.8 Pulse Generator Clear Sync Mode
Set the count clear method for the selected pulse generator.
In the case of Async Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the
counter will stop counting according to the clear signal input.
In the case of Sync Mode, if the clear signal is input during the length setting value, the
counter will continue to count until the end of the length setting value and then clear the count.
Both modes clear the repeat count when the counter is cleared.

In the SP-5000-CXP4, a subset of the image can be output by setting Width, Height, Offset-X, and Offset-
Y. If the height is decreased, the number of lines read out is decreased and as the result, the frame rate is increased. However, in the horizontal direction, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width is decreased. In the SP-5000-CXP4, the minimum width is “64” and minimum height is “8”.

7. Operating modes
7.1. Acquisition control (change the frame rate)
7.1.1 Acquisition frame rate
With Trigger OFF (free-running mode – see section 7.2.1), the default frame rate of the camera is based on the specified ROI. The smaller the ROI, the faster the default frame rate. However, it is possible to specify a free-running frame rate (i.e., no trigger needed) that is slower than the default rate. This can be useful when a longer exposure time is needed for a specific ROI.
Modification of the frame rate is done by entering a value in the AcquisitionFrameRate control corresponding to the frequency to be allocated to each frame period. Allowed values range from
25691 Hz to 0.125 Hz for SP-5000M-CXP4, however if the frequency entered is faster than the time required for the default frame rate, the setting is ignored and the default frame rate is used. For example, the minimum frame period for the smallest possible ROI (64H x 8V) requires 25691 Hz, so any entry more than 25691 will always be ignored.
The setting range in Acquisition Frame Rate is:
Shortest to Longest to
Inverse number of time required to drive all pixels in the area set by ROI command or inverse number of time required to transmit one frame data
0.125 Hz = 8 seconds
For the above setting, Acquisition Frame Rate (unit: fps or Hz) is used.
Acquisition Frame Rate: 25691 Hz to 0.125 Hz
How to set:
ROI should be set first.
The number shown in Acquisition Frame Rate will correspond to the maximum frame frequency for the specified ROI.
The value can be decreased up to 0.125 Hz.
If ROI is changed from a smaller size to a larger size, the default frame frequency of the
ROI is automatically recalculated inside the camera and changed to the frame rate of the new ROI.
7.1.2 Calculation of frame rate
The frame rate for a specific ROI is calculated using the following formula.

7.2.1 Exposure Mode
The exposure mode can be selected from the following three ways.
Table35. Exposure mode
Exposure Mode setting Exposure operation
OFF No exposure control (free-running operation)
Timed
Exposure operation at the value set in Exposure Time. Setting value is usec unit.
・
If Trigger Mode setting is OFF, the camera is in free-running operation.
・
If Trigger Mode setting is ON, the exposure operation depends on the setting of
Trigger Option.
Trigger Width
The exposure is controlled by the pulse width of the external trigger.
・
Trigger Mode is forced to ON.
For trigger operation, Exposure Mode must be set to something other than OFF and Trigger Mode of
Frame Start must be ON.
If Exposure Mode is set at Timed, the exposure operation can be selected as follows by setting
Trigger Option

Reset Continuous Trigger mode. The exposure operation is the same as free-running operation but it is re-set at the trigger input timing. The video signal is output only if the trigger signal is input.
This mode is useful, if automatic exposure is needed when the trigger mode is used.
PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) mode. A strobe light is used as the light source. One trigger pulse generates two image acquisitions. As for the exposure time, 1st frame is the exposure time and 2nd frame is the value when the exposure mode is OFF (depends on the frame rate).
The effect of the combination of Exposure Mode, Trigger Option and Trigger Mode is as follows.

7.7. RCT mode
Until the trigger is input, the camera operates continuously and the video signal for the auto-iris lens is output provided the AUX connector has been ordered with a Type 2 configuration option.
At this moment, the video signal, FVAL and LVAL are output but DVAL is not output. When the trigger is input, the fast dump is activated to read out the electronic charge very quickly, after which the accumulation and the readout are performed. When the accumulated signal against the trigger is read out, FVAL, LVAL and DVAL are output too.

Exposure Mode: Timed
Trigger Mode: ON
Trigger Option: RCT
In this mode, the setting of Trigger Overlap is invalid.

7.8. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)
The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images need to be taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as illumination.
The first accumulation time is 10
sec to 2 sec. Then, the second exposure will be taken.
The accumulation is LVAL asynchronous. The first strobe is activated during the first exposure duration and the second strobe is pulsed while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two strobe flashes generate two video outputs.

Analog Control
Analog Control
In the SP-5000-CXP4, the gain control uses Analog Base Gain and Digital Gain.
Analog Base Gain can be set at 0dB, +6dB or +12dB.
The digital gain is used for the master gain setting.
For setting the gain,
1. Set analog gain (Select from 0dB, +6dB and +12dB)
2. Set digital gain
The master gain (DigitalAll) for both monochrome and color can be set x1(0dB) to x16(+24dB) against the analog base gain. The resolution for gain setting is
0.01%/step which is 0.05dB to 0.08dB, depending on the setting value.
In the SP-5000C-CXP4, blue and red gain can be set from x0.45 to x
5.62 against the master gain setting and its resolution is x0.01%/step.
3. In the SP-5000C-CXP4, Analog Gain can be applied to R, G and B channel independently in order to cover wider range of color temperatures.
Note1: If the gain up function is used, it is recommended to use the analog base gain as the master gain setting. For instance, if +12dB gain up is required, the analog base gain is set at +12dB and no digital gain is added. This is because the signal-to-noise performance is better with analog gain. However, the AGC function works only in digital gain.
Additionally, the analog base gain is effective in order to minimize gaps in the histogram at higher gain settings. Please note that the analog base gain has less accuracy due to its variability.
- 47 -
SP-5000M-CXP4 / SP-5000C-CXP4
Note2: If Analog Base Gain is set at 0dB and Digital Gain is used at a high gain setting, the video level may be unstable and may fluctuate approx. 5%. In this case, it is suggested to set the analog base gain at +6dB or +12dB.

8.3.4 LUT Index
This represents the “starting” or “input” pixel value to be modified by the Lookup Table. The
SP-5000-CXP4 has a 256-point Lookup Table, meaning the index points are treated like an 8-bit image with 0 representing a full black pixel and 255 representing a full white pixel. The index points are automatically scaled to fit the internal pixel format of the camera. This is common for all output configurations.

8.3.3 LUT value
This is the “adjusted” or “output” pixel value for a given LUT index. It has a range of 0 to 4095 (12bit) and is automatically scaled to the bit depth of the current operating mode (8-bit or 10-bit).
Note: linear interpolation is used if needed to calculate LUT values between index points. In the color mode, the LUT function works the same regardless of the color of the pixel.

8.5. Shading Correction
This function compensates for shading (non-uniformity) caused by the lens or the light source used.
This compensation can be performed even if shading issues are not symmetrical in horizontal and/or vertical directions.
There are two methods of correction.
Flat shading correction:
The method to compensate the shading is to measure the highest luminance level in the image and use that data as the reference. Luminance levels of other areas are then adjusted so that the level of the entire area is equal. Compensation is performed using a block grid of 20 blocks (H) x 16 blocks (V). Each block contains 128 x 128 pixels. The complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.
Adjustable range
Less 30%
Fig. 31 Flat shading correction concept drawing
Color shading correction (For SP-5000C-CXP4 only):
In this case, R channel and B channel are adjusted to match with G channel characteristics.
The block grid for compensation is 20 blocks (H) x 16 blocks (V). Each block contains 128 x
128 pixels and the complementary process is applied to produce the compensation data with less error.

8.6. Blemish compensation
The SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 have a blemish compensation circuit. This function compensates blemishes on the CMOS sensor (typically pixels with extremely high response or extremely low response). This applies to both monochrome and color versions. Pixels that fulfill the blemish criteria can be compensated by adjacent pixels in both columns and, in the case of the SP-
5000C-CXP4, the defective pixels can be compensated by the same Bayer color pixels in both adjacent columns. The number of pixels that can be compensated is up to 512 pixels.

8.8.1 About P-Iris
New Spark Series SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4 come equipped with P-Iris control as part of the standard lens control function. The P-Iris system is a newly developed lens control method designed to control the iris more precisely. Especially for video cameras in surveillance applications utilizing megapixel CCD or CMOS imagers, it becomes a very important factor to control an iris in order to achieve the maximum camera performance. In surveillance applications, depending on shooting conditions, resolution and depth of field are important factors. The iris is deeply related with these factors. If the iris diaphragm is smaller, but not too small, resolution gets better and the depth of field is also deeper. The P-Iris system controls the iris diaphragm precisely and maintains the best image with the highest resolution and depth of field. P-Iris can also combine with gain and electronic shutter to keep the appropriate iris position under changing lighting conditions (ALC function).
8.8.2 Setting for P-Iris lens being used
P-Iris lenses use an absolute setting value control system and therefore, if the following
parameters are input, precise iris position control is possible.
8.8.2.1 P-Iris lens select
Select the lens used from the P-Iris select list. At this moment, there are no 1-inch P-Iris lenses available in the list. When P-Iris Lens Select is opened, the following lenses are indicated but they are 2/3 inch format. If they are used, the corners of the image may be vignetted.

8.9 ALC
In the SP-5000M-CXP4 and SP-5000C-CXP4, auto gain, auto shutter and auto iris functions can be combined to provide a wide ranging automatic exposure control from dark to bright or vice versa.
The functions are applied in the sequence shown below and if one function is disabled, the linkage between the other two is maintained.
In order to make the ALC function effective, set the Auto Iris Lens Control Signal Output to “ON”.
The auto iris function (AIC) works together with AGC and Exposure Auto (ASC).
If the lighting condition is changed from bright to dark AIC ― ASC ― AGC
If the lighting condition is changed from dark to bright AGC ― ASC ― AIC

Fig.37 ALC function concept
ALC Referecne will determine the target video level for AGC, Auto Shutter and/or Auto iris. For instance, if ALC Reference is set to 100% video level, AGC, Auto Shutter and/or Auto Iris will function to maintain 100% video level.
Please note that ALC function is available only in continuous mode, as well as RCT mode.

HDR sensing mode can be set when HDR Mode is set to ON while Exposure Mode is Timed.
The parameters to configure dynamic range are HDR_SLOPE Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and
Level 4.
The user can select any one of those parameters as required for their application.
In this mode, the timed exposure is used as the reference and the value selected in
HDR_SLOPE will compensate to get an appropriate dynamic range by changing the exposure time.
Notes:
1. If the exposure mode is OFF and the HDR mode is set to ON, the exposure mode is automatically changed to Timed.
2. If horizontal binning and/or vertical binning are set to ON, the HDR mode cannot be set.
In this case, the HDR mode must be set first before H-Binning and/or V-Binning are set.
3. In this mode, exposure overlapped behavior is not available and the frame rate is slower than the normal operation.
4. The frame rate should be set more than “The width of FVAL + the exposure time”.
6
The width of FVAL = (line number x 165) / Sensor clock (86.4 x 10 Hz).
The possible frame rate is more than “The width of FVAL + the exposure time + 100 μs)

Appendix
1. Precautions
Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The handling of these devices should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Power off the camera during any modification such as changes of jumper and switch setting.
2. Typical Sensor Characteristics
The following effects may be observed on the video monitor screen. They do not indicate any fault of the camera, but are associated with typical sensor characteristics.
V. Aliasing
When the CMOS camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp patterns, jagged edges may appear on the monitor.
Blemishes
All cameras are shipped without visible image sensor blemishes.
Over time some pixel defects can occur. This does not have a practical effect on the operation of the camera. These will show up as white spots (blemishes).
Exposure to cosmic rays can cause blemishes to appear on the image sensor. Please take care to avoid exposure to cosmic rays during transportation and storage. It is recommended using sea shipment instead of air flight in order to limit the influence of cosmic rays on the camera.
Pixel defects/blemishes also may emerge due to prolonged operation at elevated ambient temperature, due to high gain setting, or during long time exposure. It is therefore recommended to operate the camera within its specifications.
Patterned Noise
When the sensor captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time integration, fixed pattern noise may appear on the video monitor screen.
3. Caution when mounting a lens on the camera
When mounting a lens on the camera dust particles in the air may settle on the surface of the lens or the image sensor of the camera. It is therefore important to keep the protective caps on the lens and on the camera until the lens is mounted. Point the lens mount of the camera downward to prevent dust particles from landing on the optical surfaces of the camera. This work should be done in a dust free environment. Do not touch any of the optical surfaces of the camera or the lens.
4. Caution when mounting the camera
When you mount the camera on your system, please make sure to use screws of the recommended length described in the following drawing. Longer screws may cause serious damage to the PCB inside the camera.
