Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.1
Allied Vision GigE camera’s factory/default settings configure the camera packet
size to 8228. The host adapter needs to support a packet size of equal or larger size
to stream from the camera.
If adapter packet size support is limited to 1500 bytes, as on 10/100 speed NICs,
you can reduce the camera packet size using Vimba Viewer and saved to an on-
board camera power up config file. See SavedUserSets in the GigE Features
Reference document.
