22 Glossary
22.1 Fast Ethernet
The term Fast Ethernet (defined by the IEEE 802.3u-1995 standard) represents various technologies for
transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 100 MBit per second (100,000,000 bits per second).
22.2 GenICam
GenICam stands for GEN eric programming I nterface for CAM eras. It's a generic way to access and modify
device parameters with a unified interface. A GenICam compliant device either directly provides a GenICam
compliant description file (in internal memory) or the description file can be obtained from a local (harddisc
etc.) or web location. A GenICam description file is something like a machine readable device manual. It
provides a user readable name and value range for parameters that are offered by the device for reading and/or
writing and instructions on what command must be send to a device when the user modifies or reads a certain
parameter from the device. These description files are written in XML.

22.3 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)
The term Gigabit Ethernet (defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard) represents various technologies for
transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second (1,000,000,000 bits per second).

22.4 GigEVision®
A closed source framework, defined and administered by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA), for
transmitting video and related control data over Ethernet networks.
22.5 High Dynamic Range (HDR)
The HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode increases the usable contrast range. This is achieved by dividing the
integration time in two or three phases. The exposure time proportion of the three phases can be set
independently. Furthermore, it can be set, how many signal of each phase is charged.
22.6 IDE
IDE means I ntegrated D evelopment E nivironment and represents a software application that can be used for
software development.
