Video capture workstation
requirements
The VGA2Ethernet device requires that you download and install
the VGA2Ethernet drivers and application on a video capture
workstation PC with the following minimum hardware and
software configuration.
Optimizing VGA2Ethernet performance
For the best performance, the capacity of the Ethernet connection
between the VGA2Ethernet device and the video capture
workstation should be as high as possible. The video capture
workstation should have a 1-gigabit Ethernet port and the
network should be a 1-gigabit network that includes high-
bandwidth 1-gigabit switches.
You can improve performance by using Ethernet cables with
4 pairs of wires. Cat5e or Cat6 cables are preferred to Cat5.
You can also improve performance by connecting the
VGA2Ethernet device directly to your video capture workstation.
This connection makes all of the 1-gigabit bandwidth available for
transmitting captured image data.
