GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS These ports conform to the IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper. It is recommended that CAT5E or CAT6 compatible cabling and connectors be used for best performance. Cable lengths up to 100m are supported. For higher bandwidth requirements, both ports can be used in a link aggregation group (LAG) configuration.

EXTERNAL POWER This connection provides the main power for the camera. The camera operates from a DC voltage between 5V to 24V. The current capacity of the power supply can be estimated by dividing the camera’s power requirement by the external power voltage. It is also recommended to factor this by about 50% as follows: Power supply current capacity = (power specification / external voltage) x 1.5 The conductor used for this connection must be adequate for the current consumption of t

SYNC OUTPUTS (1 to 4) These signals are optically isolated and require the user to provide a high voltage level (USER VCC) and signal common (USER GROUND). USER VCC can be from 5V to 24V. ICC is a function of USER VCC and load resistor R. An example of the functional circuit is indicated in the following diagram. CAMERA USER TRIGGER CIRCUIT CIRCUIT 5V TO 24V VCC-USER PIN 10.

These signals only function as outputs and can be configured as follows: Exposing Corresponds to when camera is integrating light. Trigger Ready Indicates when the camera will accept a trigger signal. Trigger Input A relay of the trigger input signal used to “daisy chain” the trigger signal for multiple cameras. Readout Valid when camera is reading out data. Strobe Programmable pulse based on one of the above events. Imaging Valid when camera is exposing or reading out. GPO

Cleaning the Sensor DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Identifying Debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point. Locating Debris Before attempting to clean the image sensor, it is important to first determine that the problem is due to debris on the sensor window. To do this yo

Adjusting the C-mount THE C-MOUNT IS ADJUSTED AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADJUSTING. If for some reason, the C-mount requires adjustment, use the following method. Loosen Locking Ring Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the camera face. A wrench suitable for this procedure can be provided by AVT Canada Inc. (P/N 11- 0048A). Image to Infinity Use a c

Network Card Configuration Operating GigE Vision GX cameras using multiple network adaptors The GX series cameras offer two Gigabit Ethernet ports for image data transfer and control. Users can connect one or both ports on the GX to Ethernet adapter ports on a host computer. Connecting both ports will increase the available bandwidth to 240 MB/sec, allowing higher frame rates and resolutions than a single port connection. GX cameras can be operated in single port and dual port conf

If "Jumbo Frames" does not appear in this list, then your card probably does not support it. If your card does not support Jumbo Frames, then your CPU usage will be higher. 6.
