Prosilica GT Technical Manual V3.2.0
Software
Prosilica GT cameras work with the following software options:
•
Vimba Viewer or Vimba SDK
•
Third-party software solutions
Powering up the camera
A camera power adapter for each GigE camera is available from Allied Vision. See
the Specifications chapter for connector definition and voltage specifications.
Powering the camera via Hirose I/O port
Cameras powered by both the Hirose I/O port and the Gigabit Ethernet port use
the power provided by Hirose I/O port only.
Powering the camera via PoE
Note the following when using PoE accessories with PoE-capable GigE cameras:
•
Prosilica GT cameras conform to the IEEE 802.3at Type 1 standard for GigE.
•
Ensure that your Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) provides data over all four
pairs.
•
If the PSE uses only two out of four pairs for data, operation is limited to
10/100 Mbps. This translates to lower frame rates.
•
If the PSE uses all four pairs for data, operation is in Gigabit (1000 Mbps) mode.
Thus, allowing you to achieve the maximum possible frame rate.
NOTICE
•
Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases.
•
For all power connections, use only shielded cables to avoid electromagnetic
interference.
•
Prosilica GT cameras can source power from:
-
IEEE 802.3at Type 1 (100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps)
-
IEEE 802.3at Type 1 compliant PoE power sourcing equipment devices such
as switches, injectors, or NICs.
NOTICE
The camera is not intended to be connected to a DC distribution network. The
maximum length for I/O cables must not exceed 30 meters.
