Question Answer
What is the maximum cable length of a Gigabit Ethernet
connection?
Cable lengths of up to 100 meters are possible. Longer distances can be
bridged using switches or routers.
What type of cable is required for GigE Vision cameras? Cat5e can be used, but Cat 6 is recommended
How can I avoid trigger latency with GigE Vision cameras All JAI GigE Vision cameras accept a hardware trigger (in the 12-pin Hirose
connector), providing no-delay triggering.
How many cameras can I connect to one GigE Vision host. In theory, GigE Vision allows an infinite number of cameras to be connected.
In practice, however, the number of cameras depends on the transmission
rate (MByte/sec) being sent from each camera; Image resolution x frame rate
= transmission rate. The maximum transmission bandwidth is 110 Mbyte/sec.
Which Gigabit Ethernet devices can I use together with
the GigE Vision cameras?
All network switches designed for Gigabit Ethernet can be used. When using
Jumbo packets, make sure to use a switch that can handle more than 1.5kB
packets
What is a Jumbo packet? An Ethernet data packet larger than 1440 kBytes is loosely referred to as a
Jumbo packet. Using Jumbo packets improves the transmission throughput,
as the overhead (packet headers) is reduced.
Does JAI provide software with the cameras? Yes, JAI provides the necessary drivers and other DLL files for WinXP. There
also an SDK (Software Developent Kit) for the cameras, allowing the system
engineer to easily integrate the cameras in the application.
What is GenICam? GenICam is a standard associated with the GigE Vision standard, defining a
generic interface for controlling cameras in conjunction with an XML file
What is an XML file? It is a standard file format used to describe the functions available to a
particular camera. The XML file resides in the camera and is downloaded to
the Host when the camera is connected. The host software is then automati-
cally configured with the functions (and range of settings of the functions)
for precisely this camera.
