1.4 Function Descriptions
In this section, we will outline the MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 camera control functions.
To ensure proper implementation, please carefully review the, limitation
parameters and formula calculations, listed below.
1.4.1AOI (Area of Interest)
The AOI (Area of Interest) function allows users to select an area of interest,
for the camera’s CMOS array to specifically read, display, and transmit.
Figure 1-1: AOI (Area of Interest)
The AOI function will also enhance camera acquisition speed, however
users must still consider the following factors:
(1) The amount of time it takes to transfer a captured image from the
CMOS sensor to the frame buffer.
(2) The amount of time it takes to transfer an image from the frame buffer
to the PC via 1394 bus.
(3) The camera exposure time setting.
Below, are three formulas that can help you to calculate the maximum
frame rate, while using the AOI function. Please note that the lowest value
will determine the maximum frame rate for the given AOI.
Formula 1: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (((AOI High + 2) x 15.28us) + 15.28us)
Formula 2: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (Packet per frame x 125us)
Formula 3: Max. Frames/s = 1 / (exposure time in us + 28us)
For example, if your AOI is set for 200 columns wide and 240 rows high,
and exposure time is set for 1000us. Also the packet per frame with the
- 5 -
current settings is 5.
Formula 1:
Max. Frames/s = 1 / (((240 + 2) x 15.28us) + 15.28us)
Max. Frames/s = 269.2
Formula 2:
Max. Frames/s = 1 / (5 x 125us)
Max. Frames/s = 1600
Formula 3:
Max. Frames/s = 1 / (1000 us + 28us)
Max. Frames/s = 972.76
By using the calculations above, the AOI for this particular scenario can be
calculated at 269 frames per second.
1.4.2Test Pattern
The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 series cameras offer an internal generated test
pattern for testing camera transmission. The test pattern will show a gray
bar running diagonally, moving upwards at 1pixel/frame.
Figure 1-2: MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 gray bar test pattern
When setting camera to test pattern mode, then camera will
keep this configuration even after rebooting the camera. Please
be sure to disable test pattern mode after your test completed
testing.

1.4.3Mirror Image
The mirror image feature is only available in the MAVIS IM-100 camera. When
you enable mirror image mode, the camera will reflect the image’s vertical axis,
before data is transmitted out of the camera.
In factory mode, the mirror image is disabled and the order of transmission for
the pixels in each line is pixel 1, pixel 2, pixel 3, to 640. When mirror image mode
is enabled, the order of transmission for each line is pixel 640, pixel 639, pixel
638, to pixel 1.
Figure 1-3: Mirror Imaging
If you are using the AOI mode (area of interest) in conjunction with
mirror image mode, the apparent location of your AOI may change.
You may need to adjust the location and size of the AOI.

1.4.4
Gain and Brightness
The Gain and Brightness adjustment functions are accomplished by
manipulation of the sensor’s digital output signal.
Please refer in Figure 1-4; when the
gain is set to 0, the full 10bit output
range of the camera’s CMOS
sensor will mapped directly to the
8bit output range of the camera. In
this situation, a gray value of 0 is
output from the camera when the
pixels in the sensor are exposed to
no light and a gray value of 255 is
output when the pixels are exposed
to very bright light. This condition is
defined as 0dB of system gain for
the camera.
As shown in the three graphs
below, increasing the gain setting to
a value greater than 0, maps a
smaller portion of the sensor’s 10bit
range to the camera 8bit output.
When a smaller portion of the
sensor range is mapped to the
camera output, the camera’s
sensitivity to a change in light level
is increased.
This feature can be useful when at
your brightest exposure, a gray
value of less than 255 is achieved.
For example, if a maximum gray
value of 127 is achieved with bright
light, you could increase the gain
setting so that the camera is
operating at 6dB; thus seeing an
increase in gray values to 254.

Table 1-1 Gain value settings
Please refer to “Figure 1-5”;
Which illustrates the effect of
setting the brightness higher
than the default value of 725. It
should be noted that this setting
moves the response curve to the
left; therefore increasing the 8bit
value output from the camera for
any given 10bit value from the
sensor, and also increasing the
apparent brightness of the
image.
The bottom graph illustrates the
effects of setting the brightness
lower than the default value of
725. It should be noted that this
setting moves the response
curve to the right; therefore
decreasing the 8bit value output
from the camera for any given
10bit value from the sensor and
also decreasing the apparent
brightness of the image.

1.4.5Lookup Table
MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 cameras have a sensor that reads pixel value at a
10bit depth; however, the camera outputs pixel values at an 8bit depth.
When set for 8bit output, the camera normally uses an internal process to
convert the 10bit pixel values from the sensor to the 8bit values transmitted
out of the camera. When making the 10 to 8bit conversion, the internal
process takes the camera current gain and brightness settings into
account.
The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 camera allows users to use a custom lookup
table to map the 10bit sensor output to 8bit camera output rather than using
the internal process. When the custom lookup table is enabled, the gain
and brightness settings have no effect. The 10 to 8bit conversion is based
solely on the lookup table.
The lookup table is essentially just a list of 1024 values. Each value in the
table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the camera
when the sensor reports a particular 10bit value for a pixel. The first number
in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of the
camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 0. The second
number in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of
the camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 1. The third
number in the table represents the 8bit value that will be transmitted out of
the camera when the sensor reports that a pixel has a value of 2. And so
on.
The advantage of the lookup table feature is that it allows the user to
customize the response curve of the camera.
The graphs below represent the contents of two typical lookup tables.
Figure 1-6 is for a lookup
table where the values
are arranged so that the
output of the camera
increases linearly as the
sensor output increases.

- 10 -
Figure 1-7 is for a lookup table where the values are arranged so that the
camera output increases quickly as the sensor output moves from 0
through 511 and increases gradually as the sensor output moves from 512
through 1023.

z
Upload a Lookup Table
The EZView utility offers an LUT enable and upload button that can be
used to easily load a file containing a customized lookup table into the
camera. The file must be plain text and must be formatted correctly.
The file must have 1024 lines with each line
containing two comma-separated values.
The first value on each line represents a 10
bit pixel reading from the sensor and the
second value represents the corresponding
8bit output that will be transmitted from the
camera.
The sample below shows part of a typical
text file for a lookup table. Assuming that you
have enabled the lookup table feature on
your camera and used the upload button to
load a file similar to the sample into the
camera:
The sensor reports that a pixel has a value of
1, the camera will output a value of 0.
The sensor report that a pixel has a value of
6, the camera will output a value of 1.
The sensor report that a pixel has a value of
1019, the camera will output a value of 254.

1.4.6Shutter (Exposure)
The camera exposure time is related with shutter speed or camera frame
rate. MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 allowed to set shutter speed range from 20us to
81900us.
While user set the exposure time (shutter speed) longer then frame
acquisition speed then camera frame rate will be reduced.
For example: if user set the frame rate in 30fps but set the shutter speed in
36000us.
Maximum exposure time (Shutter speed) = 1s / frame rate
36000us = 1s / frame rate
Camera real frame rate = 27 frames per second

1.4.7Input/Output
z
Input Ports
The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 offers 2 input ports; designated as Input Port 0
and Input Port 1. Both ports are TTL level. The input ports are accessed
via the 10-pin circular connectors on the back of the camera. Please refer
Table 2-1 for input port pin assignments.
For each port, an input voltage between 0.0 and 1.5VDC indicates a logical
0. An input voltage between 3.5 and 5.0 VDC indicates a logical 1. Typical
current draw for the input port is 1mA.
Figure 1-6 is an example of a typical circuit that you can use to input a
signal into the MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 cameras.
Figure 1-9: Typical Input Circuit
By default, Input Port 0 is assigned to receive an external trigger (Ex-Trig)
signal that can be used to control the start of exposure. Also you can
change the Ex-Trig signal to Input Port 1 and please refer “5.6 External
Trigger” for detail information.
z
Output Ports
The MAVIS IM-30/IM-100 offers 4 output ports; designated as Output Port 0,
Output Port 1, Output Port 2 and Output Port 3, all are TTL level. The
output ports are accessed via the 10-pin circular connectors on the back of
the camera. Please refer Table 2-1 for input port pin assignments.
For each port, an output voltage between 0.0 and 0.44VDC indicates a
logical 0. The maximum low level output voltage (i.e., 0.44VDC) will be
present when the driver is sinking the maximum allowed input current of
- 13 -
24mA. An output voltage between 4.2 and 5.0VDC indicates a logical 1.
The minimum high level output voltage (i.e., 4.2VDC) will be present when
the driver is sourcing the maximum allowed output current of 24mA.
Figure 1-7 is an example of a typical circuit that you can use to monitor an
output port with a LED or an Opto-coupler. Note that current in the circuit is
limited by an external resistor.
Figure 1-10: Typical Output Signal
By default, Output Port 0 is assigned to transmit an integration enabled
(Int-En) signal that indicates when exposure is taking place. By default,
Output Port 1 is assigned to transmit a trigger ready (Trig-Rdy) signal that
goes high to indicate the earliest point at which exposure start for the next
frame can be triggered. Please refer “1.6 Integrate Enabled Signal Timing”
for a detailed camera signal integrate timing chart. The pin assignment of
the camera output signals to physical output ports can be changed. Please
refer “5.7 External Trigger” for detailed information.
- 14 -
1.4.8External Trigger
The external trigger (Ex-Trig) input signal can be used to control the start of
exposure. A rising edge or a falling edge can also be used to trigger
exposure start. The External Trigger Mode is also used to enable the
Ex-Trig exposure start control; enabling users to select rising or falling edge
triggering and to assign a physical input port to receive the Ex-Trig signal.
The Ex-Trig signal can be periodic or non-periodic. When the camera is
operating under control of an Ex-Trig signal, the period of the Ex-Trig signal
determines the camera’s frame rate:
1 / Ex-Trig period per second = frame rate
For example, if you are operating a camera with an Ex-Trig signal period of
20ms (0.02s):
1/0.02 = 50 fps
So in this case, the frame rate is 50fps
The minimum high time for a rising edge trigger (or low time for a falling
edge trigger) is 1us.
Exposure Modes
If you are triggering the camera with an Ex-Trig signal, two exposure modes
are available, programmable mode and level controlled mode.
Programmable Exposure Mode
When programmable mode is selected, the length of the exposure is
determined by the shutter setting described in “1.4.6 Shutter (Exposure)”. If
the camera is set for rising edge triggering, exposure starts when the
Ex-Trig signal rises. If the camera is set for falling edge triggering, exposure
starts when the Ex-Trig signal falls.
Figure 1-11: Programmable Exposure with rising edge triggering
- 15 -
Level Controlled Exposure Mode
When level controlled mode is selected, the length of the exposure is
determined by Ex-Trig signal alone. If the camera is set for rising edge
triggering, exposure begins when the Ex-Trig signal rises and continues
until Ex-Trig signal falls. If the camera is set for falling edge triggering,
exposure begins when Ex-Trig signal falls and continues until Ex-Trig signal
rises.
Figure 1-12: Level Controlled Exposure with rising edge triggering
- 16 -
1.4.9Strobe Control
This feature allows a user to enable and parameterize up to four strobe light
control output signals. The signals are designated as Strobe 0, Strobe 1,
Strobe 2, and Strobe3. Each strobe signal can be set to on or off and active
high or low by logical value, please refer to section 5, “Function Library”, for
command definitions.
The strobe delay is determined by a combination of two values. The first is
the setting in the Delay Value and the range from 0 to 4095. The second is
the Strobe Delay Time Base which has a default value of 1/1024 ms.
Strobe Delay = (Strobe Delay Value Setting) x (Strobe Delay Time Base)
For example: If Delay Value of Strobe 0 is set to 120, then Strobe 0 delay
will be 120/1024ms (or approximately 117us).
The Strobe delay will determine the time between the start of image
exposure and when the strobe signal changes state as show in Figure
1-13.
Figure 1-13: Strobe Signal
As mentioned above, the strobe delay time base is normally fixed at
1/1024ms and the strobe delay is normally adjusted by changing the delay
value setting only. However, if you require a delay that is longer then what
you can achieve by changing the strobe delay value alone, the strobe delay
time base can also be changed. The strobe time base range has a
multiplier of 1 to 85.
For example: with Delay Value of Strobe 1 set to 200 and a Delay Time
Base of 20:
Strobe1 Delay = (Strobe1 Delay Value Setting) x (Strobe Delay Time Base)
Strobe1 Delay = (200) x (20/1024ms)
Strobe1 Delay = 3.9ms

source characteristics.
- 18 -
1.6 Integrate Enabled Signal Timing
The time between the start of exposure and the rise of the Integrate Enabled (Int-En)
signal will be less than 10 nanoseconds. The time between the end of exposure and
the fall of Int-En signal will also be less than 10 nanoseconds. This is very good
performance, and is due to the design of the camera output port circuitry.

8.2 Glossary
AOI is means the area of interest. A
user-defined, rectangular area (a square is
common) on a CCD that is exposed and
processed as an image. For image
processing field, the AOI also means a
user-defined area for inspection or
measurement application for saving system
images processing time.
Bit Depth -The number of bits used to
code a value (such as a pixel component)
into an integer value. This is directly
related to the number of levels that the
value might have, such as 256 with an
8-bit depth or 1,024 with a 10-bit depth.
CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) – CMOS is a widely used type
of semiconductor. CMOS semiconductors use both
NMOS (negative polarity) and PMOS (positive polarity)
circuits. Since only one of the circuit types is on at any
given time, CMOS chips require less power than chips
using just one type of transistor. CMOS traditionally
consumes little power and can be fabricated on just
about any standard silicon production line, so they tend to be extremely inexpensive
compared to CCD sensors.
FireWire/1394
-
The 1394 digital link
standard was conceived in 1986 by
technologists at Apple Computer, who chose
the trademark 'FireWire', in reference to its
speeds of operation. In 1995, the IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) defined this standard is IEEE 1394.
There are two IEEE 1394 standards in current market; 1394a for data transmission rates
up to 400Mbps, and the other is IEEE 1394b; for data transmission rates up to 800Mbps.
- 105 -
Gain is the level of amplification of a signal. The Gain
affects image sharpness sensed by the naked eye.
When gain is increased in an image, one must also
take into consideration the addition of significant
“noise”.
Pixel Size - Most CCD and CMOS imagers consist of picture elements dubbed "pixels".
Each pixel is one sensor within the array and has a
definite size, which should be available by the
manufacturer. Sizes typically range from 8-20
microns. The pixel size is a technical parameter
that relates to resolution, process feature
dimensions and pixel architecture. For a given die
size, a high resolution requires a small pixel
Progressive-Scan - A system of video scanning whereby lines of a picture are
transmitted consecutively, such as in the computer world. This method is often used in
DVD video encoding where the video is produced by scanning the film. It is also used in
enhanced
and
high
definition television systems
as it is supposed to produce
less visual artifacts than the
interlaced
mode
but
requires a higher refreshing
rate.
Sensor Size - The “Sensor Size” is the
dimensions of CCD/CMOS sensor area, which is
responsible for transforming light into electrical
signals. Typically, the sensor size from 1/4” to 1”
and measured by diagonal size.
