System recommendations
The PC requirements for the system will depend on your application, but as a general
guideline the following is recommended for minimal operation:
•
Windows 10, 64 bit.
•
Gigabit Ethernet adapter that supports Jumbo Frames and is dedicated for camera
communication,
see "Recommended network card settings", page 113
NOTE
Please read the release notes in the
3D Stream SDK
for detailed information.
8.1.2
Network preparations
Due to the amount of data that the camera delivers per second, it is required to con‐
nect it to the PC using a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet network, without other interfering
traffic. If the PC must be connected to other equipment, for example network printers,
the PC should be equipped with (at least) two network interface cards (NIC).
Multiple cameras can be connected using a NIC with multiple ports, or multiple NICs.
To connect multiple cameras to a single NIC limits the maximum speed of the cameras.
For best performance, connect each camera to a separate NIC.
For recommended network settings,
see "Recommended network card settings",
.
