Camera Installation
Computer Interface
The Prosilica GC cameras will work with any Ethernet network card; however AVT 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. Frame size is the number of bytes per packet and the larger the frame size, the less the
computer CPU will be loaded due to the processing of incoming packets.
There are many Gigabit Ethernet cards available which will support Jumbo Frames. The following
examples have been verified to work well with the Prosilica GC cameras:
•
Intel PRO/1000
•
D-Link DGE-550T
•
SMC EZ Card 1000
Gigabit Ethernet cards supporting this feature can also be purchased with the camera (P/N 02-
3002A).
