CV-M2 1. General The CV-M2 is a digital 2 megapixel camera designed for automated imaging and ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) applications, featuring high resolution and high speed within a uniform and compact housing. The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate. Functions like burst trigger, reset continuous trigger mode, analog iris video output,

CV-M2 5.4. Input and Output Circuits 5.4.1. Monitor video output On the BNC connector an analogue video signal for set-up is found if OS=2. The signal can be used for focus and field of view adjust. CCIR if MN=1. (50 fps, 17.734 kHz, 290 active lines.) EIA if MN=0. (60 fps, 17.734 kHz, 262 active lines.) It is for single channel normal (TR=0) operation only. Shutter speed <313 LVAL (CCIR). <263 LVAL (EIA). Video is composite 1Vpp from a 75 Ω source. 5.4.2. Iris video output Vi Vid

CV-M2 5.4.5. Camera Link interface The video output is Camera Link, where the 2 channels with 10 or 8 bit video are placed in a base configuration. The digital output signals follow the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface. The output driver is NS type DS90CR285, and the receiver is NS type DS90CR286. The data bits from the digital video, FVAL, LVAL, DVAL and EEN are multiplexed into the twisted pairs, which are a part of the Camera Link. Trigger signals and the

CV-M2 6. Functions and Operations In the following the format shown in “7.5. CV-M2 command list” are used for function commands and parameters. 6.1. Basic functions The M2 camera is a progressive scan camera with 10 or 8 bit video output in single or dual channel Camera Link. On a BNC connector a standard composite video output CCIR or EIA for monitor use is found. The image covers the full format, but the resolution is much lower than the digital video output. An iris video signal

CV-M2 6.1.3. Restart continuous trigger mode The RCT mode makes it possible to use a lens with video controlled iris for intelligent traffic surveillance applications. TR=2. The camera is running continuously, and the iris is controlled from the iris video output. When a trigger pulse is applied, the scanning is reset and restarted, the previous signal is dumped with a fast dump read out, and the new triggered exposure is started. This fast dump read out has the same effect as “smearless

CV-M2 6.1.5. Sensor Gate Control This function is for applications where a strobe flash is the only illumination, and where the exact time for the strobe firing is not known. The time window for the strobe firing can be up to several frames. The resulting video read out can also be delayed by this function. It makes the synchronization of the frame grabber more flexible. The Sensor Gate Control signal will inhibit the internal SG signal so the accumulation can continue. The sensor gate

CV-M2 6.2.7. LVAL synchronous accumulation With LS=0, the accumulation will start synchronously with LVAL. The trigger pulse should be longer than 2 LVAL intervals, and the accumulation will then start at the first LVAL after the trigger leading edge. The exposure start delay will be up to 1 line. (Single channel 47.9 µsec. Dual 27.3 µsec). In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL). In PWC mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the first L

It is 3.9 µsec. In EPS mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the selected shutter time, (in number of LVAL). In PWC mode the exposure stops 0.5 L after the trigger trailing edge. A new trigger must not be applied before the previous frame is read out. (FVAL is low). The minimum trigger interval

CV-M2 6.2.9. Partial scanning vertical timing Partial scanning has 3 pre-selected vertical centred areas 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. SC=1 through SC=3. With SC=3, the start and the height of the partial scanned area can be programmed with 1 line interval. The start line can be programmed with PS=1 through 1151. The scanned height can be programmed with PC=50 though 1200. Partial scanning will operate with single or dual channel output. Partial scan is done by a high-speed dump read out of the area

CV-M2 6.4.2. Edge Pre-select Mode In EPS mode, the trigger leading edge will start an exposure at the first LVAL pulse if LS=0, (or immediately if LS=1), and it stops and the resulting image is read out after the pre-selected shutter time. It can be the 10 steps in normal or 1216 steps in programmable. SM=0 or SM=1. This mode will operate with full and partial scanning. An EEN pulse will indicate the active accumulation time, and a FVAL pulse indicates that the resulting video is read
