Camera Electronics

16-bit A/D converter with correlated double sampling ensures high
dynamic range and CCD chip-limited readout noise. Fast USB interface
ensures image download time within seconds.
Maximum length of single USB cable is approx. 5 m. This length can be
extended to 10 m or 15 m by using single USB hub or active USB extender
cable. Up to 5 hubs or active extenders can be used in one connection.
Gx Camera Ethernet Adapter device allows connection of up to four Gx
cameras of any type through Ethernet interface and TCP/IP network.
Because TCP/IP protocol can be routed, the distance between camera and
host PC can be virtually unlimited.

Binning can be combined independently on both axes.
Image download time and system read noise depends on the CCD chip
used in particular camera model as well as on the camera read mode.

Preview read mode provides system read noise approx. 1 or 2 e
above CCD chip read noise.

Low Noise read mode is somewhat slower, but ensures system
read noise roughly equal to the manufacturer-specified chip read
noise.
