The Camera that fits your
needs!
The PicSight Series is more than just a camera family. PicSight's processor based architecture has been designed to fit the needs of OEM's and to allow the rapid integration of additional features. PicSight Cameras are available with 26 different monochrome and color sensors. Just pick the sensor that is more suitable for your application. PicSight Gigabit Ethernet cameras can do more than just acquire images, they help you solve engineering problems.
Gigabit Ethernet Interface
The Gigabit Ethernet interface allows delivering images at high speed over standard inexpensive gigabit Ethernet network components. This helped to make it the de facto standard. You can use standard CAT 5 Ethernet cables with cable lengths up to 100 Meters without additional hardware. This lenght can be extended by using gigabit Ethernet switches to repeat the network signal. The power supply and cable can be eliminated by using PicSight GigE cameras with the power-over-gigabit-Ethernet option, without any loss of bandwidth.
GigE Vision and GenICam compliant
As Leutron Vision is one of the leading contributors to the GigEVision and GenICam standards, all PicSight GigE cameras are fully GigE Vision and GenICam compliant. PicSight will then work with GigEVision and GenICam compliant software such as with all major image processing libraries.
PicSight Real-time Functions
PicSight cameras offer more. The RTF option's built-in FPGA provides real-time functions such as onboard Bayer decoding and hardware LUT's. The RTF option has additional hardware for controlling motorized zoom lenses. All of these features make PicSight GigE a solution of choice for machine vision applications.

PicSight Hardware Features
Sensors
The sensor is the most important part of your PicSight camera. Select one out of 26 different sensors, that fits your needs. They are available as CMOS or CCD sensors in monochrome and 8, 10 or 12 bit color with resolutions from VGA up to 5M pixels. Cameras can run full frame with maximum frame rates up to 200 frames per second. The gain and black level values are programmable. Our Cameras offer high dynamic range, high image quality and a high signal-to-noise ratio. EMVA-1288 measurement data is available. Every feature is programmable providing the flexibility you want for your application.
Acquisition Modes
Our CCD cameras and most of our CMOS cameras have progressive scan global shutters and support free run, simple trigger and integration time controlled trigger acquisition modes. The CMOS cameras with rolling shutter offer snapshot and global reset modes.
Multiple I/O
PicSight cameras have direct TTL input as well as a TTL output for direct flash control. This provides minimum latency for image acquisition and light strobing. PicSight cameras also have two programmable input and three output optocouplers. Depending on the camera version, an analog video output is available as option.
GigE-Interface
The gigabit Ethernet network interface is powered by a 32-bit RISC processor and offers maximum
performance and compatibility to 10/100/1000 megabit Ethernet networks. PicSight GigE cameras are fully GigE Vision and GenICam compliant and work plug-and-play with all major image processing libraries. The filter driver allows the host CPU to handle the high
data transfer rate efficiently. The ability to upgrade camera firmware in the field extends camera maintainability.
Image Memory
PicSight GigE cameras have 16MB of memory for image storage, which allows transferring images either in chunk or in frame mode. The delayed transfer mode allows acquiring images from multiple cameras at the same time. Each camera then delivers it's image after a given delay time to minimize packet collisions and transfer the data with optimal network performance. A inter-packet-delay mode allows PicSight GigE cameras to work with slower networks. In addition, the camera can record image sequences and has a pre- and a post-triggering mode to take images at a specific time relative to the trigger signal.
Real-time Features
The RTF version of the PicSight GigE cameras use a more efficient FPGA and offer additional real-time features such as high quality Bayer decoding with easy to use white calibration on the camera, lookup tables and analog video output.
Integrated Lens Controller
The AS-RTF version of the PicSight GigE is equipped with a integrated 3-channel lens controller for motorized lenses with DC voltages up to 24V. It can set and read back lens settings for zoom, focus and aperture directly through the camera API. Lens positions are resolved at 256 levels (8 bit). The repositioning accuracy is ≈ 1 %.
OEM-Features
For OEM customers we offer a variety of additional possibilities such as preset-parameter-lists, timestamp, transfer of additional image related data such as exposure time and gain values inside the image (image signature) or advanced synchronization between multiple cameras, for example master/slave triggering and intelligent color processing. Please contact us for more information.

Gigabit Ehternet / PoE RS-232, Video out, Lens control
Flexible power supply
There are different ways to power a PicSight GigE camera. You can connect power supply units with voltages from 10V to 26V to the SDR-26 (mini cameralink) connector keeping power and trigger connections separate. Or you can connect power and trigger just using the 12-pin Hirose connector. Otherwise, you can power the camera through the Ethernet cable with PicSight's power-over-gigabit-ethernet (PoE) option and a gigabit power switch. PoE is only available as phantom power circuit, where the power is sent over the data lines, not as spare-pair circuit like older PoE networks.
Mechanics
PicSight GigE has two standard enclosures: The straight cabinet and the H-option featuring a 90° angled lens mounting. Custom Cabinets are possible for OEM
customers. The cabinets have tapped mounting holes on all sides for your convenience. You also have the choice of C or CS mount for the lens. The cameras are supplied standard with a IR-block filter. This can be replaced by another type such as float glass, daylight blocking, band-pass or any one of your specification.

Gigabit Ethernet Interface and
Network Performance
Gigabit Ethernet based cameras offer some obvious advantages over competing transport layer technologies: • Cost effective solution based on off the shelf networking
components.
• Long cable lengths: up to 100m per segment, total length practically unlimited.
• Flexible network configurations, many cameras in a system.
• High performance, good scalability (e.g. via multiple network cards).
• Excellent interoperability and vendor independence thanks to the GigE Vision and GenICam standards. Potential users sometimes ask about the CPU load associated with acquisition from GigE cameras, or about the system latency (and especially its predictability) and reliability. GigE Vision based systems demonstrate solid performance. With basic understanding of the networking technology and with elementary care for the important factors, the mentioned possible issues can easily be eliminated. The small required effort quickly pays off through the advantages the
established networking technology offers. The processor based PicSight architecture allows
sophisticated fine tuning of networking related parameters for maximum network performance. As a Leutron Vision customer, you benefit from the experience we have gained as one of the very first vendors of gigabit Ethernet cameras. Our support engineers can help you to find the best network configuration for your application.

Leutron Vision - one of the
driving forces of standards
development
Leutron vision is a important contributor to the development of both, the GenICam and the GigE Vision standards.
GigEVision
GigE Vision standard was published in 2006 by the AIA (Advanced Imaging Association). It defined communication protocols for industrial cameras using (Gigabit) Ethernet as transport media. The goal of the standard was to make sure that Gigabit Ethernet technology in machine vision was used in the best way possible. It also brought high interoperability between cameras and software libraries compliant to the standard - particularly between the cameras and the software libraries. Now, it is possible for machine vision software to exchange data automatically with any camera present in the system without the need to write and maintain dedicated interfaces
Main advantages of GigE Vision over "competing" technologies are:
• Plug&play, support of GenICam standard. • Excellent interoperability and vendor
independence
• High performance, good scalability (Number of cameras available in the system is practically unlimited).
• Cost effective solution based on off the shelf components.
GigE Vision is actually a set of protocols built on top of UDP/IP, allowing maximum possible performance.
GeniCam
The purpose of GenICam is to provide a unified application programming interface (API) to the users of machine vision cameras. Sitting on top of the individual transport technologies (such as GigE Vision), it enables an easy integration of individual components, such as cameras and image processing libraries. GenICam is independent of the transport layer technology. GenICam consists of three main modules, GenApi, SFNC, and GenTL.
GenICam GenApiGeniCam API, defining means to describe all camera features, their corresponding control registers and providing access to those features.
GenICam SFNCStandard Features Naming Convention, standardizing names (ID's), types and other aspects for most common features of machine vision cameras.
GenICam GenTLGenICam Transport Layer, an interface between applications and camera control libraries, covering device enumeration, image acquisition and related tasks.

D R I V E R S
Image Acquisition Software
The primary programming interface for Leutron Vision cameras is the Simplon API. Simplon encapsulates access to individual camera types and technologies in a single, consistent interface. It also unifies various aspects of GenICam (GenApi & GenTL) aspects of the camera control.
Simplon comes also with a preprocessing library that unifies access to preprocessing capabilities of some cameras and similar functionality in the software. Last but not least, it also offers GUI components and dialogs for inclusion in user applications – such as the GenICam feature tree control.
Supported platforms
Simplon is available for Windows (32/64-bit), Linux (32/64-bit) and for OEMs also for VxWorks. All
supported platforms are treated with the same priority, share the equivalent feature range and provide the same toolset. Releases for all platforms are synchronized and all tests are executed on every platform. Migrating to a different operating system or upgrading to a 64-bit architecture is thus very straightforward and painless. The Simplon API provides a pure C interface, an object-oriented C++ interface and a .Net class library.
Interfacing 3rd Party Software Packages
Besides the Simplon API, the camera can also be accessed through standard interfaces such as GenICam GenTL or GigE Vision. The cameras pass all
corresponding standard certifications and strictly follow the standard requirements, including GenICam SFNC, to a degree unrivaled among competitors. The strict SFNC compliance assures best compatibility with generic software packages, and especially its predictability and intuitive use.
The cameras are compatible with
• Halcon & ActivVisionTools (MVTec Software) • VisionPro (Cognex)
• LabView (National Instruments) • MIL (Matrox)
• Common Vision Blox (Stemmer Imaging) • and more
Sample Code Generator, Demos
To simplify and streamline the development process, Leutron Vision provides a source code generator tool. This flexible tool allows the generation of Simplon API code snippets or full application skeletons for many different use cases, including camera configuration, buffering & acquisiton or image preprocessing. Demo programs are available and allow experimentation with cameras' and Simplon functionality without

Need a special feature?
If your application demands special features, PicSight cameras might address them easily! The flexible processor based PicSight architecture in combination with our Rapid Development Process allows for quick and cost effective extension of the camera's hardware and software. Our qualified sales engineers can help you find the solution that fits your needs best.
After evaluating your requirements, our development team will create a draft solution for your review. Then it will develop a test to ensure the design meets your
requirements, and start implementing your design. Once the prototype passes the tests, production begins.
Modifications can be made in the processing part, the FPGA, the interface module, to the hardware or to the host side software.
Example: 3D measureing system for the automotive industry
The Task:The system needs 16 high resolution cameras to
achieve the required accuracy, and the images must be the best possible. Each camera acquires a sequence of 5 images with different shutter and gain values. All cameras are synchronized by a hardware trigger. The master camera begins transferring the image to the host immediately. Depending on the processing results of the master camera images, the host chooses and requests only one image out of the sequence from each of the other 15 cameras. Only 20 images, instead of 80, must be transmitted and processed. This approach reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred dramatically and guarantees the required cycle time.
The Solution:To solve the job, a few customer specific functions had to be implemented.
Thanks to the flexible processor based PicSight architecture and the Rapid Development Process, the solution was implemented within 4 weeks.
