Introduction The GC750 series of cameras are 60 frames per second, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet cameras based on the Micron MT9V022 CMOS sensors with snapshot shutter capability. Precautions READ INSTALLATION GUIDE CAREFULLY. This document contains specific information which is necessary for the correct operation and treatment of this product.
Applies to GC750C only. †† Power consumption will increase with reduced ROI imaging and color interpolation. ††† Nominal operating voltage is 12V. Cameras have been tested at 12V. See Notes on Triggering in the Addendum. GC750 Technical Manual Page 5...
Page 10
To operate the camera 12V Power with suitable current capacity (see specifications) must be provided on Pin 2 and the Power Ground on Pin 1. A cable assembly providing this power can be ordered from AVT (P/N 02-8003A for North America or P/N 02-8004A for a Universal supply). GC750 Technical Manual Page 9...

These signals are RS-232 compatible. These signals allow communication from the host system via the Ethernet port to a peripheral device connected to the camera. Note that these signals are not isolated and therefore careful attention should be used when designing cabling in noisy environments. GC750 Technical Manual Page 10...
