Item 1: GIGABIT ETHERNET PORT 

This port conforms to the  IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper.  
It  is  recommended  that  CAT5E  or  CAT6  compatible  cabling  and  connectors  be  used  for  best 
performance.  Cable lengths up to 100m are supported.

Isolated Ground 

 

The  General  Purpose  I/O  port  uses  a  Hirose  HR10A-10R-12SB  connector  on  the  camera  side.  
The mating cable connector is Hirose HR10A-10P-12P.  This connector can be purchased from 
Prosilica or from 

http://www.digikey.com

See Addendum for more detail. 

 

DO NOT EXCEED 5.5V ON SIGNAL INPUTS. 

All inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated from the internal camera circuitry.   

TRIGGER INPUT 

This input signal allows the camera to be synchronized to some external event.  The camera can 
be  programmed  to  trigger  on  the  rising  or  falling  edge  of  this  signal.  The  camera  can  also  be 
programmed to capture an image at some programmable delay time after the trigger event.
