7. System Configuration
7.1. System connection
When the AD-081GE is connected to a PC, there are two connection methods.
Method one is to use a dual or quad input Network Interface Card (NIC) or two separate
network interface cards. The other way is to use a hub. Refer to the following drawings.
Fig.8 System configuration
It should be noted that the hub being used should comply with Gigabit Ethernet.
When JAI SDK control tool is executed, AD-081GE is recognized as like two cameras. #0
represents one of the imagers and #1 represents the other.
Each imager can be handled as an independent camera.
7.2. Lens considerations
The AD-081GE has a built-in a beam-splitter prism which separates transmitted and reflected
light across the 400nm to 650nm visible wavelength range. 50% of the incoming light is
reflected and goes to the BW2 sensor while the remaining 50% transmitted light goes to the
BW1 sensor. Thanks to the compact design of the prism, C-mount lenses can be used with this
camera. For optimal performance it is strongly advised to use lenses designed for 3CCD
cameras with the AD-081GE.
