Figure 4 – Connecting the QSFP+ cable 5.7.3 Removing the QSFP+ Module 1. Turn the JetCam camera off. 2. Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports. 3. Hold the pull-tab latch on the QSFP+ module with your index finger, and gently pull to release the transceiver from the socket.
2. The SFP+ module has a bale clasp that used to remove or install the SFP+ module. 3. Close the bale clasp before inserting the SFP+ module into the JetCam camera. 4. Line up the module with the port and slide it into the port.
Both the TX and RX fiber cables must be connected between TX output (Marked with TX or Arrow outwards the SFP+) on the JetCam camera and RX input (Marked with RX or Arrow inwards the SFP+) on your Frame Grabber device.
5.9 Color Filter Array The JetCam 19 and JetCam 261 color sensors processed with a Bayer RGB color pattern as shown in Figure 11. The Bayer type is GBRG: Pixel (0, 0) has a green filter and in the same row there is a blue filter. On the other row there is a red filter and another green filter next to it.
