5 Physical Interface
The blaze-101 camera conforms to the GigE Vision standard.
The camera is interfaced to external circuitry via two connectors:
M12 8-pin X-coded female connector (ERNI, 394811)
Used to provide a 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet connection to the camera.
M12 8-pin A-coded female connector (ERNI, 494166)
Used to provide power to the camera.

To operate the camera, Basler recommends downloading the Basler
blaze SDK free of charge from the Basler website:
www.baslerweb.com/blaze
The software package includes necessary drivers and useful tools for
operating the camera as well as sample code.
Also included is the
readme.pdf
document which contains information
about the installation and the feature scope of the camera.

Power Requirements
Power Consumption
24 VDC (± 10 %)
<22 W mean @ 24 VDC
<55 W peak @ 24 VDC
NOTICE
Voltage outside of the specified range can damage the camera.
If you are supplying camera power via the camera‘s power
connector and the voltage of the power is greater than 24 VDC
(± 10 %), the camera may get damaged. If the voltage is lower than
that, the camera may not work as expected and you may not be able
to acquire images.
Coordinate System of the Camera
The origin of the coordinate system is in the optical center
inside the camera. This creates an offset from the front of
the camera housing that needs to be taken into account
when you’re processing the resulting depth data. For more
information, refer to the
Basler Product Documentation
