The Prosilica GC Series cameras will work with any Ethernet network card; however Prosilica
strongly recommends using Gigabit Ethernet components that support Jumbo Frames. A Jumbo
Frame is loosely defined as a frame size greater than 1500 bytes however typical Jumbo Frames
are around 9000 bytes. Frame size is the number of bytes per packet and the larger the frame
size, the less the computer CPU will be loaded due to the processing of incoming packets.
There are many Gigabit Ethernet cards available which will support Jumbo Frames. The
following examples have been verified to work well with the Prosilica cameras:
•
Intel PRO/1000
•
D-Link DGE-550T
•
SMC EZ Card 1000
Gigabit Ethernet cards supporting this feature can also be purchased with the camera (Prosilica
