  • Page 9 GC1280 User Manual 70-0039A-C Sync Input 1 and Sync Input 2 These input signals allow the camera to be synchronized to some external event. The camera can be programmed to trigger on the rising edge, falling edge, both edges or level of this signal. The camera can also be programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.

Signal Ground Signal Ground must be connected to the user’s external circuit ground if Sync Input 2 or Sync Output 2 is to be used or if the RS-232 port is to be used.
  • Page 11 GC1280 User Manual 70-0039A-C DO NOT CONTACT CLEAN SENSOR UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. 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.
  • Page 12 GC1280 User Manual 70-0039A-C The Prosilica GC Series cameras will work with any 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.

  • Page 19 GC1280 User Manual 70-0039A-C 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 20 GC1280 User Manual 70-0039A-C The following example is not on the same Subnet: NIC IP 169.250.23.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, CamIP 169.254.13.0 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0. 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.
