Page 7: Overview
4 Overview This document provides an extensive overview of KAYS’s IRON SDI camera line-up, currently consisting of the IRON SDI 265 and the IRON SDI 305. Both cameras are suited for a wide variety of applications with the IRON SDI 265 supporting up to 3G-SDI and the IRON SDI 305 supporting up to 12G-SDI (see section no. -
Page 8: Supported Formats
5 Supported Formats Iron SDI camera support multiple standard video formats including HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI, depending on the camera’s sensor resolution. Changing format can be done dynamically, using serial interface, or format configuration can be saved and loaded on startup. Table no. -
Page 9: Cli Interface
6 CLI Interface 6.1 Commands The camera exposes ASCII based Command Line Interface to control camera configurations. Serial communication can be achieved using standard serial terminal over RS-232 protocol. The serial terminal should be configured to baud rate 115200, 8bit data, 1bit start, 1bit stop and no flow control. The Command Line Interface consists of the following commands: 6.1.1 STATUS Description:... -

Page 19: User Sets Control
6.3.10 User Sets Control Eight user sets are available for saving different camera parameter configurations. In addition, a “Default” UserSet is available so it will be possible to revert back to default factory settings. The following steps describe the sequence of saving and loading user set camera parameter configurations: Save User Set: 1. - Page 20 4. Choose the firmware update option by entering “firmware” followed by a carriage return and wait for the following message: "Now starting firmware update, please start file transfer using XMODEM:" Figure 3 – Firmware update execution 5. Under the “File” tab use the terminal “transfer” capability using the XMODEM protocol to initiate the firmware update.
- Page 21 8. A successful update will result in an appropriate message Figure 7 – Firmware update succession 9. To apply the new firmware, the camera should be power cycled by disconnecting the power supply from the camera and connecting it back after a few seconds. After camera has been powered, it should be kept at least ~30 seconds with power before new firmware will be applied.

Page 29: Brightness Level
10.4 Brightness Level The Desired Brightness Level reflect the average value of all pixels in the defined ROI. The value range of the Desired Brightness Level depends on the output pixel bitness. e.g for 10bit output the value should be between 0 and 1023, while for 12bit output the value should be between 0 and 4095. -
