4 Recommended PC to be used
The PC used should have the following performance or better
1) Recommended CPU : Core i3 or better,
2) Recommended memory: DDR3, 4GB fully equipped (Windows 7 32-bit)
DDR3, 8GB fully equipped (Windows 7 64-bit)
3) Graphics card : Should apply with PCI Express Generation 3.0 or better
4) NIC : Use Intel NIC
PCI-Express Bus to install Intel NIC should be better than Generation 2.0.
Generation 1.0 cannot be used.
5) Other: If the picture is always displayed on the monitor, it is not recommended to use
the CPU in the PC.
5 About the network card to be used
SP-5000-GE2 complies with Link Aggregation which handles two ports as one port. To make the best
use of this function, the network card used should comply with 1000BASE-T as well as Link
Aggregation. It also complies with Jumbo Frame. If Jumbo Frame is set to a large value, the PC
processing load can be reduced. The packet overhead is also reduced and as the result, the
bandwidth of the communication line has more room.

6 Cables to be used
GigEVision configures the system by using 1000BASE-T.
In the market, CAT5e (125MHz), CAT6 (250MHz) and CAT7 (600MHz) cables are available for
1000BASE-T. There are crossover cables and straight through cables available. Currently, as most
equipment complies with Auto MDI/MDI-X, please use straight through cables. (Among crossover
cables, a half crossover type exists, which the Ethernet will recognize as 100BASE-T).
7 EMVA 1288
With regard to signal to noise ratio in this manual, specifications measured by EMVA 1288 are used
together with specifications by a traditional measurement method.
EMVA 1288 is a more complete measurement that considers multiple noise sources, including
random noise, pattern noise, and shading. Additionally, EMVA 1288 incorporates temporal variances
in pixel output by capturing 100 frames of data and computing the RMS variations over the captured
frames. Because of the comprehensive nature of the noise analysis and the additional consideration
for RMS variances over time, EMVA 1288 SNR measurements are inherently lower than the traditional
SNR measurements given by manufacturers. However, the comprehensive nature combined with
rigid test parameters, means that all manufacturers are measuring their products equally and EMVA
1288 tested parameters can be compared among different manufacturers’ products.
