3.2.1
Power Over CoaXPress
The CXP is compliant with the Power Over CoaXPress : There is no Power connector as the power is
delivered through the Coaxial Connectors 1 and 2.
In the Standard, the Power Over CoaXPress allows to deliver 13W (under 24V) per Channel.
The CXP requires 19W then two connectors are required for the power : The two first are used for
this purpose.
If you want to Power ON the Camera you have to connect the Coaxial connector output 1 of the camera to
the coaxial connector 1 of the Frame Grabber.
Note 1 :
Only the connector 1 position is mandatory. They other 3 connectors can be inverted but the
camera still needs the 2 first connectors to get it power and be able to start up.
Note 2 :
Removing the 2 first connectors will shut down the Camera : You can reset the Camera by quickly
(
less than 1s
) connect/disconnect the Connector CXP1 but after a longer shut down, you’ll have to reboot
the PC with the Camera full connected to the frame grabber in order to synchronize the discovery of each
power line.
Note 3
: With some frame grabber you have access to a specific command (from the Frame Grabber
interface) for shutting down/up the power of the CoaxPress : This solution, with the complete reboot, is the
better solution to ensure a complete power On of the Camera.
