10. Functions and Operations
10.1. GigE Vision Standard Interface
The AD-081GE is designed in accordance with the GigE Vision standard. Digital images are
transmitted over Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. All camera functions are also controlled via
the GigE Vision interface.
The camera can operate in Continuous mode, providing an endless stream of images. For
capturing individual images related to a specific event, the camera can also be triggered. For
precise triggering, it is recommended to use a hardware trigger applied to the Hirose 12-pin
connector or 6-pin connector. It is also possible to initiate a software trigger through the GigE
Vision interface. However, when using a software trigger, certain latency inherent to the GigE
interface must be expected. This latency, which manifests itself as jitter, greatly depends on
the general conditions and traffic on the GigE connection. The frame rate described in this
manual is for the ideal case and may deteriorate depending on conditions.
When using multiple cameras (going through a switch and/or a single path) or when operating
in a system with limited transmission bandwidth the Delayed Readout Mode and Inter-Packet
Delay functions can be useful.
10.2. Recommended Network Configurations
Although the AD-081GE conforms to Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) not all combinations of
network interface cards (NICs) and switches/routers are suitable for use with the GigE Vision
compliant camera.
JAI will endeavor to continuously verify these combinations, in order to give users the widest
choice of GigE components for their system design.
