Connecting your camera
Use a CAT6 or higher rated Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the NIC.
Crossover cabling is not required but does work. The camera has circuitry to
determine if a crossover cable is being used.
Optics
Prosilica GT cameras offer various lens mounts for installing a lens including
C-Mount, CS-Mount, F-Mount, F-Mount PA, M42-Mount, M42-Mount,
M58-Mount PA, M58-Mount PA, and Canon EF-Mount PA depending on the model.
Lenses can be purchased directly from Allied Vision or from an Allied Vision
distribution partner. Users need to select the desired focal length of the lens and
appropriate optical format for the target camera model.
For more information on lens mount options for your Prosilica GT camera, see the
Modular Concept. For information on available lenses and accessories for your
camera, see the Accessories webpage.
Accessories
We offer a wide range of accessories for use with Prosilica GT cameras including:
•
GigE accessories such as standard GigE components and PoE capable GigE
components.
•
Lenses for corresponding sensor sizes and resolutions.
Contact your Allied Vision Sales team or your local Allied Vision distribution partner
for information on accessories and lens recommendations.
We recommend CAT6 or higher rated Ethernet cables. A cable with a lower rating
may not sustain peak interface bandwidth; leading to lost connectivity or dropped
frames coming from the camera.
A list of recommended GigE components is available on the Allied Vision website.
