4.1. Connecting the Gigabit Ethernet Interface to a PC
The system can be controlled from a PC using the Gigabit Ethernet interface. This section explains
the required setup when connecting the system to a PC.
•
For how to operate the Photron FASTCAM Viewer software, refer to the "Photron FASTCAM
Viewer User's Manual".
To connect a PC to the system, connect the system to a commercially available
1000BASE-T-compatible interface board with a LAN cable. For the LAN cable, prepare a UTP or
STP CAT5e (enhanced category 5) or higher LAN cable (UTP: unshielded, STP: shielded).
The maximum cable length between the PC and the system is, compliant to the 1000BASE-T
specification, up to 100 m. One PC can connect to a maximum of 64 Photron Gigabit Ethernet
interface equipped cameras using a hub. When connecting multiple devices, connect them through a
switching hub that can connect at 1000BASE-T. The maximum length of the cable that connects the
system (or PC) to the switching hub is also 100 m.

The system is only 1000BASE-T compatible. When using a PC compatible with only 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX, the PC must be connected through a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T
compatible switching hub.
