6.1.

System connection

When the AD-131GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods.
Method one is to use dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate network
interface cards. The other way is to use a hub as shown below.
Note: Connect both GigE terminals to PC. High S/N and High Dynamic range modes use only one
terminal but the other is also used for communication.
2 x RJ45
2 x RJ45
It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet.
When JAI SDK control tool is started, AD-131GE is recognized as two cameras. #0 represents the
Bayer color imager #0 and #1 represents the Bayer color imager #1.
Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.
Two image sensors can be operated either in SYNC mode or ASYNC mode.
For the details, please refer to the following chapters 6.2 and 6.3..
6.2. RJ-45 outputs
The AD-131GE has two RJ-45 connectors for two monochrome sensors, #0 output and #1 output.
The output for the sensor #0 is through GigE-1 and sensor #1 output is through GigE-2. These
two outputs can be set at synchronous (SYNC) or asynchronous (ASYNC) in Sync Mode feature.
