connectors and one LED, located on the back panel of the camera – Figure 1.6.
1. Camera output – standard RJ-45 provides data, sync, control, and serial
interface.
2. 12-pin Power Connector – provides power and I/O interface.

The Camera data along with the serial communication and triggering signals are
serialized and continuously transmitted over the Gigabit Ethernet interface at
GigE’s full 1-Gb/s line rate, while delivering consistently low, predictable latencies.
The network interface is compatible with IP/Ethernet networks operating at 1000
Mb/s using standard LAN CAT-5 (CAT-5e) cables.
The power and all external input/output signals are supplied to the camera via the
camera power connector shown in Figure 1.5b. The corresponding pin mapping is
shown in Table 1.4a. The connector is a HIROSE type miniature locking receptacle
#HR10A-10R-12P. The camera is shipped with a power cable which terminates in a
HIROSE plug #HR10A-10P-12S, and has two small BNC pig-tail cables for the
external trigger input (black) and strobe output (white). The corresponding BNC
connector pin mapping is shown on Table 1.4b.
