Camera Operation Manual
1.
General
The SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 are among the first new Spark Series cameras to be
introduced. They are high performance cameras with high resolution and a fast frame rate suitable
for high speed machine vision applications. The SP-5000M-GE2 is a monochrome progressive scan
CMOS camera and the SP-5000C-GE2 is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CMOS camera.
Both are equipped with a CMOS sensor offering a 1-inch optical format, a resolution of 5.24 million
pixels, and a 5:4 aspect ratio. They provide up to 44 frames per second for continuous scanning
with 2560 x 2048 full pixel resolution for both monochrome and raw Bayer output.
8-bit or 10-bit output can be selected for both monochrome and raw Bayer formats. The
SP-5000C-GE2 is also capable of performing in-camera color interpolation at reduced frame rates.
The new cameras feature a GigE Vision Ver. 2.0 interface which has a new Link Aggregation (LAG)
extension. LAG handles two ports as one port and this function enables higher data transfer rates
in an Ethernet environment.
The SP-5000M-GE2 and SP-5000C-GE2 have various comprehensive functions needed for automated
optical inspection applications, such as solid state device inspection or material surface inspection.
They incorporate video processing functions such as a look-up table, shading compensation and
blemish compensation in addition to fundamental functions such as trigger, exposure setting and
video level control.
As a common Spark Series feature, a new connector for lens control is employed. SP-5000M-GE2 and
SP-5000C-GE2 support P-iris and motor-driven lenses as standard lens control capabilities. Factory
options are available to configure this connector to support DC iris systems, as well as provide a
video iris output signal, or to provide additional TTL IN and OUT lines.
