- Page 12 Item 4: Mini-SMB Sync Out 1 This Mini-SMB port on the camera uses an Amphenol 903-406J-51R connector. A suitable mating cable connector is Amp 413985-3 which can be used with RG174 coaxial cable. Contact AVT to purchase cabling. This connector is particularly useful for triggering multiple cameras in a “daisy chain” fashion. The Sync Out 1 signal can be configured as follows: Exposing Corresponds to when camera is...
- Page 13 Item 7: AUXILIARY POWER PORT This port is required to provide power to the camera. This port provides threaded captivation of the power cable if required. The captivated cable mating connector is the Switchcraft 760K. This connector can be purchased from AVT or from http://www.digikey.com.

Page 14: Cleaning The Sensor
Cleaning the Sensor DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Identifying Debris Debris on the image sensor or optical components will appear as a darkened area or smudge on the image that does not move as the camera is moved. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which will appear as a distinct point. -

Adjusting the C-mount LOCKING RING C MOUNT RING Figure 4. Camera Front View. THE C-MOUNT IS ADJUSTED AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ADJUSTING. If for some reason, the C-mount requires adjustment, use the following method. Loosen Locking Ring Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. -
Page 16: Camera Installation
Camera Installation Computer Interface The Prosilica GE Series cameras will work with any Gigabit Ethernet network card; however AVT strongly recommends using Gigabit Ethernet components that support Jumbo Frames. A Jumbo Frame is loosely defined as a frame size greater than 1500 bytes however typical Jumbo Frames are around 9000 bytes. - Page 17 Gigabit Ethernet Setup for Windows o Install network card in computer. o Boot the PC and cancel the “Found new Hardware Wizard” window that may appear when Windows detects the new card. o Install the driver that came with the network card. o Once the driver is installed, open the Network Connections Dialog as follows: From the Windows desktop select start, then select Control Panel, then double click on the Network Connections icon.
- Page 18 Figure 6. Network card TCP/IP address. Figure 7. Turn off Firewall. o Return to the Gige Local Properties window as in Figure 5. Select the Advanced tab as in Figure 7 and disable the Firewall for this device. Click OK to save changes. GE1910 Technical Manual Page 18...
- Page 19 Gigabit Ethernet Cabling All Gigabit Ethernet cabling and connectors should be CAT5E or CAT6 compatible. Cable lengths must not exceed 100 meters. Power Connection The camera requires a 12V DC power supply that can source a minimum of 500 mA of current. See the Connections section of this document for more information.
- Page 20 Installing GigE Viewer for Testing o The latest Viewer software can be downloaded from http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/us/support.html. o Run the GigE Viewer Installer.exe. This will install the Prosilica GE Digital Camera drivers as well as the AVT GigE Viewer application program. o Plug in the Prosilica GE camera via the Gigabit Ethernet port. Plug in the power connection. Verify that the Status LED 1 is a solid green.

Page 21: System Optimization
System Optimization o Open the Network Connections Dialog as follows: From the Windows desktop select start, then select Control Panel, then double click on the Network Connections icon. Double click the relevant network card listed or right-click the relevant network card and select Properties. This will open the properties window for your network card. - Page 22 Figure 10. Network card advanced settings. o Set Maximum Frame Size or Jumbo Frames to the maximum possible value. A typical value is 9000. If the list contains a property called Receive Descriptors, then change this value to its maximum value. Select OK to save properties. o From the main properties dialog as in Figure 9, make sure that only the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box is selected then click OK.

Page 23: Trouble Shooting
Trouble Shooting Is the camera getting power? The right LED is the camera power indicator. If unlit, check the power adaptor. If possible, swap with one that is known to work. If using a custom power adaptor, be sure the adaptor and wire gauge is rated to at least 500 mA. - Page 24 • Camera is not listed, or flashing “Camera Unavailable”: There may be multiple NICs on your system set to the same subnet. The camera can not know which card to resolve to. Change the IP address of your NIC. If you are still having problems, type: ipconfig /all in a windows command prompt, and send a screenshot to support@alliedvisiontec.com.

Page 31: Notes On Triggering
Notes on Triggering Definitions o User Trigger is the trigger signal applied by the user. o Logic Trigger is the trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic. o Tpd is the propagation delay between the User Trigger and the Logic Trigger. o Exposure is high when the camera image sensor is integrating light. - Page 32 Triggering during the Readout State o For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, then the User Trigger signal should be applied as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected. o In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 line time since Exposure must always begin on an Interline boundary.
