Installation and hardware This chapter describes the components required for your camera system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Prosilica GT camera. Prosilica GT Technical Manual V2.6.0...
Installation and hardware Configuring the host computer Allied Vision GigE Vision cameras can operate on 10/100 or Gigabit speed Ethernet adapters. In order to reach the maximum camera frame rate, a Gigabit speed Ethernet adapter is required. If your host computer has an available Ethernet port, this can be used with Allied Vision GigE cameras.
Maximum value configurable Transmit Buffers Default packet size The default packet size of Allied Vision GigE cameras is 8228 bytes. The host network adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size to stream from the camera.
Contact your Allied Vision Sales representative or your local Allied Vision distributor for lens recommendations: https://www.alliedvision.com/en/meta-header/contact/contact-sales Downloading camera drivers Allied Vision GigE cameras work with any or all of the following software options. Vimba Viewer or Vimba SDK: https://www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software Third party software solutions: https://www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software/third-party-libraries.html...
Once you have installed the Vimba Viewer or third party application to your host computer, you can connect your Allied Vision GigE camera via an Ethernet cable. If your camera is not PoE powered, connect the Hirose cable to power the camera.

Gigabit Ethernet interface The Prosilica GT is powered through the 12-pin Hirose I/O port, or the Gigabit Ethernet interface by using any standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) supported network card, switch, or injector. Allied Vision recommends using Category 6 or higher compatible cabling for best performance.
Cable lengths up to 100 m are supported. The 8-pin RJ-45 jack has the pin assignment according to the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T). Horizontal locking screw connector Prosilica GT cameras support cables with horizontal locking screw connector for a secured connection (see figure 68). Allied Vision recommends using locking-screw cables from Components Express, Inc.
I/O definition Camera Power The Prosilica GT camera can be powered through the Hirose I/O port, via Pin 1 Camera GND and Pin 2 Camera Power, or through the Gigabit Ethernet interface if using a power over Ethernet (PoE) supported network card, switch, or injector.
