The GenICam standard consists of multiple modules that specify tasks to be solved. Allied Vision cameras and software make use of these modules, like the Standard Feature Naming Convention (SFNC) that standardizes feature names and types via an XML file or the transport layer interface (GenTL) that is used to grab images.

Installation and hardware This chapter describes the components required for your vision system including configuring the host computer, Ethernet adapter settings, and connecting your Prosilica GC camera. Prosilica GC Technical Manual V2.2.2...
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 with jumbo packet support is required.
Transmit Buffers 256 bytes 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. Ethernet adapter For desktop systems, use a PCI Express bus Ethernet adapter.

Locking wrench Contact the Allied Vision Sales team or your local Allied Vision distribution partner to purchase the hexagonal lens adjustment wrench for Prosilica GC cameras with C/CS locking ring (Allied Vision order code 02-5003A).
Mechanical dimensions Lens protrusion for C-Mount cameras Lens protrusion is the distance from outer edge of C-Mount ring to contact point of first surface internal to C-Mount ring. For color models this surface is the IR-filter holder, and for monochrome models this surface is the internal camera front plate (see figure 22).

Mechanical dimensions IR cut filter All Prosilica GC color models are equipped with an infrared block filter (IR cut filter). This filter is employed to prevent infrared light from passing to the sensor. In the absence of an IR filter, images are dominated by red and incapable of being properly color balanced.

Camera interfaces I/O definition Camera power The Prosilica GC camera family has recently been updated to offer an expanded input power voltage range. The camera serial number is used to differentiate between cameras that offer 5 to 16 VDC and those that offer 5 to 25 VDC. Input power voltage range •...
Camera interfaces Input triggers Input triggers allow the camera to be synchronized to an external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges, or level of the signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
Camera interfaces Out 2 (non-isolated) Out 2 signal is not electrically isolated and can be used when environmental electrical noise is inconsequential and faster trigger response is required. Use Signal GND to complete the external circuit. The output signal is a low voltage TTL, maximum 3.3 V.

Appendix Lens protrusion for C-Mount cameras Lens protrusion is the distance from outer edge of C-Mount ring to contact point of first surface internal to C-Mount ring. For color models this surface is the IR-filter holder, and for monochrome models this surface is the internal camera front plate (see figure 78).
