2 The SHR series
2.3 High precision with large pixels
The SVCam SHR series is a series of industrial machine vision cameras featuring espe-
cially on very high image resolutions with large pixels and global shutter. In the indus-
trial machine vision business, there are applications where global shutter with high
resolutions cannot permit compromises on image quality. This is the playground for
the SHR.
Wide fields of view and global shutter make this camera series your prime choice for
demanding applications such as optical meteorology, aerial imaging or scientific
research. Global shutter reduces optical distortion on the sensor side, large pixels
reduce noise and extend the usable dynamic range.
One of the most compact camera modules of its class
SVS-VISTEK is introducing high-class sensors with high resolutions and large pixels to
generate high-resolution images in an outstanding quality. This covers sophisticated
CCD technology as well as latest CMOS sensors. High and ultra-high resolutions
with large pixels are challenging. We combine our advanced knowledge in these
areas with a robust I/O design and advanced industrial camera layout, providing reli-
able excellence in industrial imaging.
Best imaging performance is possible only with excellent lenses. Nearly all kinds of
lenses can be adapted to the SHR due to its wide lens opening of 72mm. Ask for
adapters regarding your specific lens requirement.
2.4 10 GigE Vision
The 10GigE interface is a cost-effective, easily scalable and networkable successor to
the proven 1GigE standard. 10GigE keeps the 1GigE benefits in network topology.
Network access is transparent.
10 GigE on copper lines is a standard existing for years already in professional inter-
net technology. Basically, it keeps the benefits and fundamental ideas of GigE and
adds the ten times higher speed. There are 2 main disadvantages compared to GigE:
nHigher heat dissipation in 10 GigE devices
nReduced cable lengths
By using high-quality (CAT6 and better) cables, cable lengths of up to 100m are pos-
sible and compensating the first disadvantage. Nonetheless, despite using the latest
10 GigE transceivers in the devices, the increased power dissipation still will result in
slightly larger camera housings.
2.4.1 Speed is king
The benefit of 10 GigE is the higher speed: Up to 1.1 GB/s of data are possible,
what is matching the speed-range of latest high-performance image sensors.
2.4.2 Optimized network adapter tuning
For best performance on Windows, 10 GigE adapters still need some manual tuning.
Please refer to the latest “Optimal network adapter settings for GigE/10GigE” in the
downolad section.
