8. Functions and Operations
8.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface
The CV-M9 GE is designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. In transmits digital
images over CAT5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All camera functions are also controlled via the GigE
Vision interface.
The camera can operate in a continuous mode, providing an endless stream of images. For
capturing individual images, related to a specific event, the camera can also be trigged. For
precise triggering, it is recommended to use a hardware trigger applied to the Hirose 12-pin
connector. It is also possible to initiate a software trigger through the GigE Vision interface.
However, when using software trigger, certain latency inherent to the GigE interface must be
anticipated. This latency, that manifests itself as jitter, greatly depends on the general
conditions and traffic on the GigE connection. The frame rate described in this manual is for the
ideal case and may deteriorate depending on conditions.
8.2. Recommended Network Configurations
Although the CV-M9GE conforms to Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) not all combinations of network
interface cards (NICs) and Switches/Routers are suitable for use with the GigE Vision compliant
camera.
JAI will endeavor to continuously verify these combinations, in order to give users the widest
choice of GigE components for their system design.
