Notes on specifications
Frame memory
Normally, an image is captured and transported in consecutive steps. The image is
taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the GigE network. Prosilica
GC cameras are equipped with an image buffer. The memory operates according to
the first in, first out (FIFO) principle. Specification tables show how many frames
can be stored by each model.
Dimensions and mass
Dimensions include connectors but not the tripod and lens.
Mass does not include the tripod and lens.
Hardware version
This chapter includes camera specifications for all Prosilica GC models (hardware
revision D). For previous Prosilica GC models (hardware revision A) see
Hardware version incompatibility
Prosilica GC hardware version D models and firmware are not compatible with
Prosilica GC hardware version A models.
Monochrome models
As monochrome models do not have an optical filter always attach a dust cap
when a lens is not attached to minimize the possibility of contaminants falling on
the sensor surface.
Number of frames
The number of frames (
StreamHoldCapacity
) depends on resolution, pixel
format, and GigE Vision Streaming Protocol (GVSP) packet size. The stated number
of frames is typical for full resolution, Mono8/Bayer8, and a

=

bytes per packet.
