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 the camera.
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 CIRCUIT USER TRIGGER CIRCUIT 5V TO 24V VCC-USER PIN 10. USER VCC IF = 5mA 3.
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.
LENS CONTROL PORT PIN FUNCTION 1 IRIS + 2 IRIS - 3 FOCUS + 4 FOCUS - 5 ZOOM + 6 ZOOM - 7 AUTO IRIS SIGNAL 8 GROUND LENS CONTROL PORT AS SEEN FROM BACK OF CAMERA This connector provides the signals necessary to control the iris, focus, and zoom of most commercially available TV Zoom lenses. The camera can be configured to operate lenses with unipolar voltage requirements of 6V up to 12V or lenses which operate with bipolar voltages from ±6V up to ±12V.
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.
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 110048A).
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 configurations.
5. Click on “OK” to validate your change (the “Properties” window will close). The Property list will be different between different types/brands of gigabit Ethernet interface cards. 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.
adapter from others in your system. Click “Next” to continue. 12. Select the two Ethernet ports to which the GX camera will be connected. These ports will form our LAG or TEAM. Click “Next” to continue. 13. Choose “Static Link Aggregation”. Click “Next” to continue. 14. The LAG group will now be configured. You may be asked to permit the “AVT_Prosilica GigE Vision Filter Miniport” installation on the new LAG adapter. Click “Continue Anyway”.
15. Once completed the properties of the TEAM (LAG) that has just been created will appear. A new Network Connections Icon corresponding to the LAG group is created. You have now completed the Link Aggregate Group configuration. 16. Reboot the system and install GigE Sample Viewer.
GigE Sample Viewer and Filter Driver o Download GigE Sample Viewer from www.alliedvisiontec.com. This will install the Sample Viewer application program, drivers, and optionally the Prosilica Filter Driver. The Filter Driver will improve CPU performance and is recommended. o Plug in the GX camera Ethernet cable(s) and power. Verify that the Green LED is a solid green. Run Sample Viewer. It will take a few seconds for the camera to be recognized, especially if your camera is in DHCP mode.
Trouble Shooting Is the camera getting power? The Green LED is the camera power indicator. If unlit, check the power adaptor. If possible, swap with one that is known to work. If using a custom power adaptor, be sure the adaptor supports the voltage and power requirements of the camera . If the LED still does not light up, contact AVT Canada Inc. support.
The following example is not on the same Subnet: NIC IP 169.250.23.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, CamIP 169.254.13.0 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0. This can happen if you use a non AutoIP range on your NIC and it doesn’t have access to a DHCP server. Either change your NIC IP to be in the AutoIP range, or fix the camera IP address to be on the same subnet as your NIC. • Camera is not listed, or flashing “Camera Unavailable”: There may be multiple NICs on your system set to the same subnet.
All stats 0 while streaming. Firewall likely blocking traffic • • • All stats 0. Likely a firewall is blocking incoming traffic. Disable your firewall. Check your camera trigger settings. Many camera trigger modes require a software or hardware trigger event to capture frames. Packets are incoming, but all dropping. Be sure you have JumboFrames enabled on your NIC. Otherwise, decrease your PacketSize setting to 1500. All packets completing as normal, but black image.

Notes on Triggering Definitions o User Trigger is the trigger signal applied by the user. o Logic Trigger is the trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic. o Tpd is the propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger. o Exposure is high when the camera image sensor is integrating light. o Readout is high when the camera image sensor is reading out data. o Trigger Latency is the time delay between the User Trigger and the start of Exposure.
Triggering during the Readout State o For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User Trigger signal should be applied as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected. o In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 line time since Exposure must always begin on an Interline boundary.
