H
ROI: horizontal resolution (width), the formula is valid if H ≥ 128, H must be rounded up to the next multiple of 8.
V
ROI: vertical resolution (height), the formula is valid if V ≥ 8, V must be rounded up to the next multiple of 2.
Note that computational limitations of the host and image capture software may prevent the camera from achieving maximum frame rates.
The minimum ROI width is 8 pixels, the minimum ROI height is 4 Pixels.
Examples for maximum frame rates possible with the Goldeye G‐008, using a number of common resolutions, are listed in the table below.

Mounting the camera
You can attach the camera to a base in two ways:
1. To attach the camera to any horizontal or vertical base, four mounting threads M4 x 6 mm are located on each side of the camera, except for the back side.
‐ Refer to the drawings below for the exact distances between the mounting threads.
‐ To avoid damaging the camera housing, we recommend to use bolts with an effective length of 4 to 6 mm and apply a maximum torque of 2.0 Nm to each bolt.
2. To attach the camera to the common mounting plate of tripods used in pho‐
tography, a 1/4 ‐ 20 UNC mounting thread is located on the camera bottom.
Caution:
Ensure the camera does not disengage from base.
The camera can disengage from its base and fall down if not properly attached.
Attach the camera either with four metal bolts with an effective length of not less than 4 mm and apply a torque of 2.0 Nm to each bolt, or use the UNC thread and a mechanical safe guard.

Available filter options and how to change filters
Filters and Mounts
The Goldeye is available with lens adapters for C‐Mount, F‐Mount, and M42‐
Mount to support lenses of different makes and models.
Each lens adapter has a recess to accommodate suitable filters.
Changing the lens adapter
The lens adapter is screwed onto the M42 thread of the camera body. To exchange it with a different adapter, unscrew it and screw on the other adapter.
For consistent image quality, we recommend to use only Allied Vision lens adapters.
Take special care when removing filter or protection glass.
•
•
•
Removing the filter from the camera requires special care.
Ask your distributor for assistance if you are not confident with the procedure.
To avoid contamination, never touch optical surfaces with bare hands.
Remove mount adapters carefully •
•
All mount adapters of Goldeye cameras are secured with locking screws. To avoid damage to the camera, these locking screws need to be untightened before removing or changing the mount adapter.
See Figure 17 below for the position of the locking screws.
To avoid damage to the thread, never use any tools to screw the mount adapter on or off.

Specific filter applications
Bandpass filter
The Goldeye responds to wavelengths from about 900 nm to 1700 nm. It is possible, however, to restrict the complete bandwidth to a certain range of wavelengths by using a corresponding bandpass filter. That way, only a certain wavelength band is transmitted, all others are blocked.
A bandpass filter is described by specific properties, like optical density, spectral profile, etc. The main characteristic, however, is the center wavelength (CWL) together with the bandwidth being transmitted (tolerance), e. g., the transmission range of a water filter displayed inFigure 24 below is at 1450 nm with a tolerance of ±50 nm.

Table 60: Differences in power supply between different Goldeye models.
All Goldeye models do not work in reverse polarity.
Goldeye G only: Power supply via Gigabit Ethernet
You can supply Goldeye G models with power through the Gigabit Ethernet port by using any standard Power over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+) supported network connection. The pin assignment of the RJ45/8P8C connector is according to the Ethernet Standard (IEEE 802.3 1000BASE‐T), which supports cable lengths of up to 100 m. All Goldeye G can obtain power from 802.3af/at compliant PSE devices (Power Sourcing Equipment): such as switches, injectors, or NICs.
If the Hirose connector provides a valid DC voltage to the camera, and the GigE connector is connected via PoE at the same time, the camera obtains power from the Hirose connector only.
Goldeye G models: Minimizing Power consumption
If the camera operates under higher temperature conditions, it should be consid‐
ered to power the camera via the I/O connector instead of PoE, since PoE contrib‐
utes to the heat build‐up inside the camera.
Refer to chapter Technical Data on page 22 for details on power consumption.
Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0

Camera interfaces
Power supply via Hirose connector
Provide power to the Goldeye G/CL by the I/O port:
• either using a power adapter with Hirose 12‐pin connector, • or using an I/O cable with Hirose 12‐pin connector in conjunction with a stan‐
dard power supply adapter. Provide power to a Goldeye G‐032 Cool by the power port:
• either using a power adapter with Hirose 4‐pin connector, • or using a power cable with Hirose 4‐pin connector in conjunction with a stan‐
dard power supply adapter. • You cannot use the Hirose 12‐pin I/O connector to supply the Goldeye G‐032 Cool with power.
Ensure an adequate power supply
In case the camera is provided with power via the I/O connector, always ensure that the voltage at the camera input lies within the designated requirement of 10.8 V to 30.0 V.

Camera interfaces
Camera Link
Goldeye CL cameras are equipped with a Camera Link interface.
Camera Link
Camera Link is a communication interface for vision applications that reduces time and costs necessary for support. All Allied Vision Goldeye CL cameras are compliant with the Camera Link V2.0 standard. Goldeye CL cameras work with standard frame grabbers and cables.
GenCP
The camera is to be controlled using the GenICam GenCp Generic Control Protocol. GenCp is packet based and it uses a virtual 64‐bit address space that contains all control registers of the camera. i
In the following, a short introduction to GenCp will be given, however it is recom‐
mended to also refer to the standard which can be downloaded here:

A steady green light indicates that the camera is idle and ready.
Transmission
Green‐red (non‐

During transmission of image data the LED toggles between red and green. Traffic on the serial control channel is shown by additional irregular fast green‐red flashing. This may cause the LED to appear amber colored.
Frame grabber requirements
You can use basically any Camera Link Base compatible frame grabber to operate Goldeye CL cameras. However, following general aspects should be considered for frame grabber selection:
• The frame grabber needs to support the individual pixel clock frequency of the camera (which may be up to 85 MHz, depending on the model).
• The frame grabber and the host system need to support the pixel data band‐
width delivered by the camera. Depending on model and operation mode, a Camera Link Base camera may be able to output up to approx. 170 million 12‐bit pixels per second. Assuming a worst‐case scenario of unpacked 16 bits per pixel transfer over the host bus, this results in 340 million bytes per second. This is approximately three times the bandwidth of a Gigabit Ethernet port.
• Host software design and system architecture usually affect frame grabber selection as well, for instance the number of cameras connected to the host, the different types of cameras connected, or the availability of a frame grabber specific GenICam transport layer.

Camera interfaces
Isolated out power (pin 10)
The Isolated Out Power must be connected to a power source for isolated signals Out 2 and Out 3. The voltage requirement is 3 to 30 V DC. The current requirement for this supply is a function of the optical insulator collector current and the number of outputs used in the system. Isolated Out Power wiring should be physically close to Out 2 / Out 3 wiring to prevent parasitic coupling.
Input signals
Input signals allow the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or level of the signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
In 1 ‐ non‐isolated (pin 4)
In 1 is not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental noise is inconsequential, and a faster trigger response is required. To complete the trigger circuit, connect trigger ground to External GND.

Trigger rules
Minimum user trigger pulse width
The user trigger pulse width should be at least three times the width of the trigger latency.
1. The end of exposure always triggers the next Readout.
2. The end of exposure must always end after the current Readout.
3. The start of exposure must always correspond with the Interline Time if Read‐
out is true.
4. Exposure start delay is equal to the Readout time less the Registered Exposure Time.
Triggering during the Idle state
For applications requiring the shortest possible trigger latency and the smallest possible trigger jitter the User trigger signal should be applied when Imaging is false and Idle is true. In this case, trigger latency and trigger jitter can be up to 1 line time.
Triggering during the readout state
For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time during which the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User trigger Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0

http://www.alliedvision.com/en/support/technical‐documentation.html
The Goldeye G/CL contains a chain of image processing modules, called the image processing chain. The first module (called Analog Gain) receives the source signal Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0

from the sensor. Each of the subsequent modules receives the output data of the previous module as input.
The behavior of each module is configurable by software via specific features. That way, it is possible to set parameters or operation modes for each module. Each module passes on the data to the succeeding module. The output of the last module is stored in the frame memory, which in turn passes it on to the GigE or Camera Link interface for output. Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0

Image corrections for SWIR sensors
The corrections applied to the image are of special relevance within the Goldeye camera. They are applied by the following modules.
• Non‐uniformity correction (NUC)
• Background correction (BC)
• Defect pixel correction (DPC)
The corrections need special correction data that must be provided prior to operating the image processing chain. Determination and storage of correction data
For each individual camera, specific correction data is determined during the manufacturing process. All necessary correction data is stored within the camera‘s non‐volatile flash memory ex works.
During camera start‐up, the available correction data is copied from the flash memory onto the correction data memory for real time access. From the correction data memory, the correction data is transferred to the individual correction modules. The correction data transfer is synchronized with the transfer of image data from the sensor. A correction module may also write back to the correction data memory, depending on its functionality.
The IR specific image correction modules are described in detail below.
Non‐uniformity correction (NUC)
Every pixel of an InGaAs sensor possesses its individual amount of dark signal (dark signal non‐uniformity, DSNU) and an individual sensitivity for light (photo response non‐uniformity, PRNU). Thus, while exposing, each sensor creates a specific, non‐
uniform underlying pattern. This pattern can be compensated with help of the non‐uniformity correction.
To correct the non‐uniformity, correction values for gain and offset of each pixel are determined on the basis of multiple reference images, and applied to the actual image. Ideally, after correction no image structure is recognizable.
However, there are various conditions that influence the image quality:
• analog gain setting
• sensor temperature
• exposure time
These conditions need corresponding correction data for best correction quality. Thus, the camera contains a number of correction data sets for a range of conditions. Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0
103
Data processing path
Since each correction data set is applicable under certain conditions only, the relevant conditions are stored with the data set.
An automated data set selection feature keeps track of the conditions. If any of the parameters changes, the most suitable correction data set is selected automatically. No additional user interaction is necessary. Set to Continuous, this function updates the data set selection for every frame.

Background correction (BC)
The background correction is used as an additional correction, based on actual operating conditions, to optimize the result of the NUC.
The correction data for the NUC is factory‐provided and based on specific conditions: exposure time, sensor temperature, and sensor gain setting. If the conditions during camera operation are different, non‐uniformity correction does not work at best performance.
To compensate for remaining non‐uniformity, the live image is corrected with a previously recorded dark image. This image is subtracted from the precorrected image to reduce the fixed pattern noise.
In order to adapt the BC to local conditions, customers acquire their own volatile correction image. It is also possible to shift the offset individually, if needed.

Defect pixel correction (DPC)
The pixels of InGaAs sensors may show abnormal behavior in one or more of the three characteristics: • dark offset
• photo response
• dynamic noise
The result is an excessively reduced dynamic range. These pixels are counted as defect pixels.
The value of each defect pixel is replaced by an interpolated value from non‐defect neighboring pixels. This way, the image appears without disturbing bright or dark pixels.

Binning
Binning is the summing of charge or gray value of adjacent pixels on a sensor, giving a lower resolution image, but at full region of interest. The image sensitivity is improved due to summed pixel charge / gray value.
In all Goldeye cameras, digital binning is applied after the Background Correction takes place. This approach allows to reduce the background level, using the Background Correction function, for higher binning value settings.

Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0
Information about the principle and functionalities of temperature management and sensor cooling of the Goldeye G/CL.
Temperature control
Caution:
Burns to the skin possible if camera housing is hot.
The camera housing may heat up during operation. Touching the camera with bare hands may lead to injuries.
Wear protective gloves when touching a heated‐up camera during operation.
Also, use proper heat dissipation methods to keep the camera as cool as possible.
During operation, power consumed and dissipated by the internal electronic components causes the interior and case of the camera to heat up.
An increase in sensor temperature has a negative impact on the image quality of the InGaAs sensor (FPA), for several reasons.
• The dark current of the FPA‘s photo diodes increases: as a rule of thumb, a temperature increase of 8 K doubles the dark current. The dark current pro‐
duces additional offset and noise, especially at longer exposure times, which causes a decrease in image contrast.
• The spectral sensitivity may change: a difference in temperature may cause the sensitivity curve to drift or to become slightly narrower.
• Certain components of the InGaAs sensor are prone to temperature drift.
Therefore, to ensure a consistently optimum image quality, the influence of temperature change needs to be minimized. Two measures are taken to achieve this:
1. Temperature control of the sensor
2. Neutralization of the temperature influence
These measures are described in detail below.
Warm‐up period
After switching on the camera, the sensor temperature stabilizes and optimal image quality is reached within one minute.
The Stable temperature state is indicated by the green temperature status LED.
Temperature control of the sensor
The InGaAs sensor is affected by temperature in two ways:
1. Fluctuation of temperature:
If the temperature influence on the sensor remains constant, this ensures con‐
stantly high image quality. To achieve this, the temperature of the sensor is sta‐
bilized at one of several defined setpoints. For the Goldeye, three or four setpoints are defined, depending on the camera model.
Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0
110
Temperature control
2. If the absolute temperature of the sensor is reduced, this decreases the dark current, thus further increasing the dynamic range of the camera.
Temperature control of the sensor is accomplished in multiple ways:
• All Cameras of the Goldeye family are equipped with thermoelectric cooling (TEC) to keep the sensor at a stable temperature that is lower than the ambient temperature. • The specially designed Goldeye housing dissipates the heat build‐up inside the camera and radiates the heat into the environment.
• In addition, Goldeye Cool cameras are equipped with a two‐stage thermoelec‐
tric cooling (TEC2). This allows to operate the sensor at a very low tempera‐
ture, thus keeping a higher image quality even with longer exposures.
• To actively dissipate the heat that builds up internally, Goldeye G Cool cameras are equipped with a fan.
Reduce power consumption of the camera
Reducing the camera‘s operating temperature can reduce its typical power con‐
sumption significantly for any given temperature setpoint.
The TEC works more efficiently if the temperature difference between the cool side and the warm side of the TEC is decreased.
Goldeye G‐032 Cool: Do not cover the fan outlet
Always ensure that a free flow of air from the fan outlet on the camera top is possi‐
ble.
Obstructing the air flow may result in an early and unnecessary shut‐down of the camera.
Neutralization of the temperature influence
To neutralize the temperature influence on the non‐uniformity, the TEC element keeps the sensor temperature at predefined setpoints. For each setpoint, a set of correction data is applied to the output signal. This correction data set is predetermined for each camera individually, and is uploaded into the camera after manufacturing.
Use a heat sink to reduce camera temperature
To improve the cooling capability of the Goldeye standard models, a heat sink set can be mounted to the camera. Up to four heat sinks can be fitted to one camera.
The heat sink set for Goldeye G/CL Cameras is available from Allied Vision under the Allied Vision order number 1068300.

Switching temperature setpoints
The Goldeye temperature control allows to switch between setpoints automatically or manually. If set to Auto, it switches up or down to the next setpoint, based on the conditions inside the camera. Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0
112
Temperature control
•

•
Switch to a higher setpoint:
If the Goldeye temperature control is no longer able to keep the sensor tem‐
perature at the current setpoint, the camera switches up to the next higher setpoint. An appropriate set of non‐uniformity correction data is applied.
Switch to the lower setpoint:
The camera switches down by one setpoint if the camera housing temperature allows to stabilize the sensor temperature at the lower point.
Switch the sensor off:
If the internal camera temperature exceeds a preset alert limit, the camera‘s overheat protection circuit powers down the sensor board, however this includes the sensor cooling. An alert state is then indicated by red color of the temperature status LED.
To control and regulate the internal camera temperature, several temperature sensors are placed within the camera.
Only the sensor board is switched off
If the internal temperature exceeds the Alert limit, only the sensor and the cooling is shut down. The camera is not powered down.
You may bring back the camera to normal operation after it is cooled down sufficiently.
To do so, switch the power supply off and switch it on again.
Temperature setpoint settling time
If the setpoint of the sensor temperature controller is changed, it takes approx. half a minute until the desired temperature is reached. During this period, the image quality may be reduced to some degree.
Examples
Below, you find some examples, showing how the TEC within the Goldeye cameras works.
Example for Goldeye G‐033 / CL‐033
For this example, we assume that during operation, the housing temperature of a Goldeye G/CL‐033 has leveled at approx. +48 °C.
Since the temperature difference achievable by the G/CL‐033 is 25 K, the setpoint at +20 °C cannot be reached.
Thus, the G/CL‐033 will switch to the lowest possible setpoint at +35 °C.
Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0
113
Temperature control
Example for Goldeye G‐032 Cool
For this example, we assume that during operation, the housing temperature of a Goldeye G‐032 Cool has leveled at approx. +35 °C.
Since the temperature difference achievable is 60 K, the lowest setpoint at ‐20 °C can still be reached.
Thus, the G‐032 Cool will switch to the lowest defined setpoint at ‐20 °C.
Operational statuses
Use an efficient heat removal device
If the camera has switched to Alert status, it is also recommended to provide a more efficient heat sink for the camera housing before resuming operation.
However, additional heat dissipation arrangements are always advantageous.

When using compressed air, pay close attention to the directions given in this chapter.
Your warranty is void if any physical damage to the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses is caused by improper cleaning attempts. This includes scratches on the sur‐
face.
Use utmost care when cleaning optical components.
Clean optical surfaces only.
Never attempt to remove any solid or fluid substances that penetrated into the camera body.
Should that happen, always contact your distributor.
Avoiding the necessity of camera cleaning
The best way to ensure the camera remains clean is to avoid penetration of foreign substances into the camera.

Camera cleaning
When mounting or dismounting a camera lens or dust cap, always hold the camera with the mount opening pointing downwards. This minimizes the possibility of any contaminants falling on the glass surface. Always store cameras and lenses with dust caps on.
Figure 38: Illustration of camera orientation when removing lens or dust cap
Identifying contaminations
If small visible dust or contamination particles on glass surfaces can be observed from the outside, this does not necessarily mean that these particles affect the functioning and/or application of the camera.
Since these particles are out of focus, they are not likely to have any impact on the image. An impact on the image may only be given if any particles can be observed in the video preview of your camera.
The contaminations you observe in the video preview may be situated either on the lens, on the filter/protection glass, or on the sensor. Contaminations may develop due to handling or unclean environments, even if your camera has been cleaned prior to sealing and shipment.
As shown in Figure 39 below, contamination (dust, particles, or fluids) on the sensor or on optical components may appear as a dark area, patch, or spot on the image and remain fixed in the preview window while you rotate the camera over the target.
Also, contaminations that are situated on the edge of the lens and/or the filter, may not be in the field of view, and therefore won‘t be visible in the image.

Camera cleaning
Do not confuse a contamination with a pixel defect, which appears as a distinct point. Particles can either rest loosely or can be more or less stuck to the optical surface.
Where is the contamination? — Locating contaminations
Before dismounting the lens you should determine whether the contamination is situated on the filter, lens, or sensor. To do so, capture a uniform image (e.g., a white sheet of paper) with the camera. The affected optical surface is identified when optical component in question is moved (rotated) and the dirt follows this movement.
• If you rotate only the lens (not the camera) and the contamination moves as well, the contamination is on the lens.
• If you move the filter or protection glass window and the contamination moves as well, the contamination is on the filter or protection glass.
• If the contamination is neither on the lens nor the filter or protection glass, it is probably on the sensor.
Removing filter / protection glass Take special care when removing the filter or protection.

•
Removing the filter from the camera requires special care.
If a special mounting tool is required, you must use this tool. Do not use any makeshift tool.
Ask your distributor for assistance if you are not confident with the procedure.
Never touch optical surfaces with bare hands
Many cameras are not fitted with a protection glass.
Removing the lens or dust cap on these cameras immediately expose the sensor.
Always ensure that you are not inadvertently damaging the sensor surface.

Cleaning instructions
Use proper cleaning materials when cleaning glass surfaces.

Never wipe lenses with dry swabs or tissue ‐ this may cause scratches.
As a cleaning tool, use only lens cleaning tabs or a lens cleaning tissue wrapped around a small piece of plastic. The lens cleaning tissue must be chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.
Do not use metal tools.
Do not use any disposable cotton cosmetic swabs; they may contain contami‐
nants.
Do not use cosmetic cotton.
Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pretreated with silicone.
Do not use fibrous material that may get caught in small gaps.
As cleaning liquid, use only optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) or isopropyl alcohol. Never use aggressive cleaners like benzine or spirits. Using cleaners like that may damage the surface.
Carry out all cleaning operations (on lenses, filter or protection glass, and sensor) in a clean dust‐free room. The optical components are very fragile, therefore you must not touch them with your fingers or any hard material.
1. Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.
Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V3.0.0

Camera cleaning
2. Have the cleaning materials ready before you start the cleaning.
Figure 41: Lens cleaning tissues and cleaning pads.
3. Apply a small amount of cleaning liquid to a clean, new lens cleaning pad or tis‐
sue.
The pad or tissue should be moist, not dripping. Hold the camera away from your body to avoid that particles like skin flakes fall onto the sensor. The cam‐
era front should point roughly 45 degrees upwards.
4. Wipe the glass surface in either one of two ways described below to ensure any dirt present on the surface be moved to the edge of the surface:
‐ With a spiral motion from the center to the rim. Normally, several spiral wipes are recommended. Wipe only on glass avoiding contact to metal sur‐
faces, because microscopic dirt could be released and could cause scratches on the glass.
‐ With a straight motion across the glass surface from one end to the oppo‐
site end.
5. When you've finished cleaning, examine the surface in a strong light. Take an out‐of‐focus picture of a flat, illuminated surface to see if any dirt or dust remains.
6. If dust spots remain, repeat this procedure once, using new clean lens tissue (as described above).
Figure 42: Use of cleaning tab or tissue to clean a sensor.
If dustspots remain:
If dust spots remain after cleaning twice, contact your Allied Vision distributor.

Use of compressed air
Figure 43: How not to use compressed air
Dangers when using compressed air.
As a general precaution, you should never use compressed air to clean a camera.
If you want to use compressed air in spite of all warnings, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use an air blower / compressed air only if you are familiar with cleaning a cam‐
era with this instrument.
Compressed air may blow dust into cameras and lenses.
High pressure air may crack the sensor or glass you want to clean.
Therefore, keep the pressure at a moderate strength only:
‐ The pressure at the tube should be less than 1 bar (15 psi)
‐ Operating distance: 5–30 cm
The pressurized air must be dust‐filtered and oil‐free.
Use ionized air only to avoid any static charge.
Also, using ionized air helps to remove any dirt stuck to the optical component because of static electricity.
