GE1350 User Manual 70-0013A-D 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 Prosilica to purchase cabling.
Page 11
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 Prosilica or from http://www.digikey.com.
Use an adjustable wrench to loosen locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the camera face. A wrench suitable for this procedure can be provided by Prosilica (P/N 11-0048A). Image to Infinity Use a c-mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus.
Camera Installation Computer Interface The Prosilica GE Series cameras will work with any Gigabit Ethernet network card; however Prosilica 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.

GE1350 User Manual 70-0013A-D o Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box and then select Properties. See Figure 6. Network card TCP/IP address.. Select the Use the following IP address and enter an IP address of 169. 254. x. y, where x and y can be any number. Press the TAB key after entering the IP address and the subnet mask will automatically be entered.

The camera can be triggered either through the 12 pin general purpose connector or the mini- SMB input. The compatible cable connectors are specified in the Connections section of this document or contact Prosilica to purchase compatible cabling. Prosilica provides SMB-to-SMB or SMB-to-BNC cabling of varying lengths.

Plug in the Prosilica camera via the Gigabit Ethernet port. Plug in the power connection. Verify that the Status LED 1 is a solid green. Run the Prosilica GigE Viewer Application. It will take a few seconds for the camera to be recognized. If the camera does not appear in the Viewer list after approximately 10 seconds then try disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
GE1350 User Manual 70-0013A-D 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.

GE1350 User Manual 70-0013A-D 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.
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. If the right LED still does not light up, contact Prosilica support.

This can happen if you use a non AutoIP range on your NIC and it doesn’t have access to a DHCP server. Either change your NIC IP to be in the AutoIP range, or fix the camera IP address to be on the same subnet as your NIC.

GE1350 User Manual 70-0013A-C 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.
