Notes on specifications
Resolution and ROI frame rates
This section provides performance information about the impact of reducing the
region of interest on the camera’s maximum frame rate. In addition, because the
Prosilica GX camera offers dual GigE LAG, the impact of using a single Ethernet
connection versus dual Ethernet connections with the host is compared.
Single interface GigE connection with the Prosilica GX
When a Prosilica GX camera is connected to the host computer using a single
Ethernet connection, it behaves like a single interface GigE Vision camera. The total
bandwidth available for the camera is 125 MB or 1 Gb. A dual GigE LAG connection
supported by the Prosilica GX camera offers up to 250 MB or 2 Gb of bandwidth.
Read first
For some Prosilica GX cameras, e.g. Prosilica GX1910, Prosilica GX2300, bandwidth
limiting occurs even in 8-bit pixel formats, although not as severely as with a 16-
bit pixel format.
Dimensions and mass
Dimensions include connectors but not the tripod and lens.
Mass does not include the tripod and lens.
Modular options
Prosilica GX cameras can be ordered with several modular options including lens
mount, optical filter, and sensor options. For more information, see the
Modular
Concept
.
Monochrome models
As monochrome models do not have an optical filter always attach a dust cap
when a lens is not attached to minimize the possibility of contaminants falling on
the sensor surface.
Mono8
Prosilica GX color models include the Mono8 monochrome pixel format in addition
to color and RAW formats.
ON Semiconductor sensor change
Prosilica GX color models with ON Semiconductor sensors now use sensors with
the new Gen 2 CFA materials. For more information, see the P
roduct Change
