Nano-5G Series GigE Vision Camera
Ethernet Switch Requirements
When there is more than one device on the same network or a camera-to-PC separation greater
than 100 meters, an Ethernet (Gigabit) switch is required. Since the Genie Nano-5G GigE camera
complies with the Internet Protocol, it should work with all standard Ethernet switches. However,
switches offer a range of functions and performance grades, so care must be taken to choose the
right switch for a particular application; to use the Genie Nano-
5G’s highest sustainable bandwidth
(~575MB/s) a 10G switch is required. For more informaiton, refer to the Network Hardware
Considerations section.
Note that in multi-camera setups using a Gigabit Ethernet switch, the Device Link Throughput may
need to be reduced so that each camera can equally share the available bandwidth. This feature
can be verified via CamExpert using the
GigE Vision Transport Layer Control.
IEEE 802.3x Pause Frame Flow Control
Ethernet Switches supporting Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x Pause Frame Flow Control must be used in
situations where multiple cameras may be triggered simultaneously. In such a case the NIC
maximum bandwidth would be exceeded if there was no mechanism to temporarily hold back data
from cameras. Nano-5G cameras support the IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control protocol
automatically so that images from many cameras can be transmitted through the switch to the NIC
efficiently, without data loss. As a working example, one such switch tested at Teledyne DALSA is
the NETGEAR GS716T.
Important
: The maximum frame rate possible from a large number of Nano-5G
cameras which are simultaneously triggered will depend on the Nano-5G model,
frame size, and network details.
Note:
Some Ethernet Switches may produce more Pause Frame requests than
expected when Jumbo Frames is enabled. Setting the Ethernet Packet Size to the
default of 1500, may minimize Pause Requests from such a switch and improve
overall transfer bandwidth.
