Prosilica GT Technical Manual V3.2.0
Large Format housing
You can attach the camera to a base using the M3 thread mounting holes built into
the top, bottom, sides, and front of the Prosilica GT camera housing and lens
mount. Prosilica GT Large Format cameras also have a built-in 1/4-20 tripod
mounting hole on two sides.
Configuring the host computer
Prosilica GT cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed NICs. In order to
reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed NIC with jumbo packet
support is required.
If your host computer has an available Ethernet port, this can be used with your
Prosilica GT camera. We recommend that your camera system uses a dedicated
Ethernet port not shared with internet or local area networks. If more ports are
required, or your existing NIC is unable to operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds,
installing additional hardware may be required.
Usage on mixed-use networks (with printers, internet, and email) is possible but
may impact camera performance (for example, frame rate). Check with your
network administrator if required for network configuration.
Installing the NIC driver
Install the network card driver from your network card manufacturer. If no
installation application is provided, update the driver manually.
