7. Issue 2 only - LF FFC – Low Frequency Flat Field Correction – This functionality can correct for a global

(low frequency) non-uniformity. Such a non-uniformity can be present due to a lighting/lens profile or due
to the micro lenses on the sensor.

8. FPNC - Fixed Pattern Noise Correction - Dark field and bright field column based corrections allows for

correction of column based (high frequency) fixed pattern noise (PRNU and DSNU). Calibration of these
functions can be performed in the field.

9. Color only - White balance: a one push and manual white balance is available to set an individual gain

for the RGB channels.

10. This processing block contains the basic processing steps like digital fine gain and black level offset.

11. For functional testing of the camera and frame grabber chain, a test pattern generator is available. The

test pattern generator can be enabled and disabled on demand.

Issue 2 only – A running diagonal test pattern has been added.

12. DPC – Defect Pixel Correction - The defect pixel correction can be enabled and disabled on demand.

From factory a list is available with the major defect pixels. Defect pixels can be added to or removed
from the list by the user.

13. Issue 2 only - Binning – The camera supports up to 2x2 binning. Horizontal and vertical binning can be

enabled independent from each other.

14. An output look-up table (LUT) is available; this table allows real-time conversion of the video levels from

the processing chain according to a user programmable curve

Issue 2 only - a Gamma curve is available in the camera. Instead of the LUT this Gamma curve can be
used.

15. A crosshair overlay can be enabled. This function can be used for the optical alignment of the optics.

16. CXP IF – CoaXPress Interface - The video data is packed into the CXP format for sending data

according to the CXP protocol. The output resolution can be set to 8 bit or 10 bit by user command. The
output format can be set by user command. Both CXP 1.0 and 1.1.1 formats are supported and can be
configured. Standard the camera is configured for CXP 1.1.1. Contact Adimec if the camera needs to be
configured for CXP 1.0.

17. The acquisition rate and exposure time can be controlled externally via a selectable trigger input or the

camera can operate in Timed mode where the camera generates the timing.

The camera is equipped with a flash strobe output signal on the I/O connector. The active state of the
flash strobe output can be inverted to adapt to the application requirements. The flash strobe output can
be operated in two different modes, which are set through a user command.

•

The automatic mode: The flash strobe will become active after the sensor is reset and a configurable
delay time is expired. The strobe will deactivate when the acquisition is completed.

•

The programmed mode: Both delay time after a sensor reset as well as the duration of the active
state can be programmed.

The delay time between the sensor reset operation in the active state of the flash strobe, as well as the
duration of the flash strobe if the camera is in programmed strobe timing mode, can be user
programmed.
