Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.2.0
To power up the camera, plug the 12-pin Hirose connector into the camera and
wait for the boot phase to complete. For Cool models, use the 4-pin Hirose
connector. The boot phase is indicated by a steady flashing of the Ethernet status
LEDs.
For all available power supply options and all suitable connectors refer to
Powering the camera via Hirose I/O port
Cameras powered by both the Hirose I/O port and the Gigabit Ethernet port use
the power provided by Hirose I/O port only.
Powering the camera via PoE
Note the following when using PoE accessories with PoE-capable GigE cameras:
•
Goldeye G TEC1 and Goldeye G TECless cameras conform to the IEEE 802.3at
(PoE) Type 1 Class 0 standard.
•
Goldeye G Cool TEC2 models cameras conform to the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type
2 Class 4 standard.
•
Ensure that your PSE provides data over all four pairs.
•
If the PSE uses only two out of four pairs for data, operation is limited to
10/100 Mbps. This translates to lower frame rates.
•
If the PSE uses all four pairs for data, operation is in Gigabit (1000 Mbps) mode.
Thus, allowing you to achieve the maximum possible frame rate.
Connecting to host application
After you have installed
Vimba Viewer
or a third-party application to your host
computer, connect your Goldeye G camera via an Ethernet cable. If your camera is
not PoE powered, connect the Hirose cable to power the camera. Goldeye G
cameras are GigE Vision v1.2 compliant. This means they are compatible with
third-party software that offers a GigE Vision driver.
Goldeye G cameras work with the following software options:
•
Vimba Viewer or Vimba SDK
•
Third-party software solutions
