DXGE interface

The SFP+ 10 GigE connectors permit to use (direct attach) copper cables or optical fiber cables with lengths of up to 400 m (10GBASE-SR).

Use a single port for data rates up to 10 Gbit/s.
For higher data rates connect both ports using Link Aggregation.

Network adapter

To establish a DXGE connection a network adapter with one or two SFP+ 10 GigE inputs must be installed and configured on the PC. The installation of a network adapter is explained in the GCT documentation. For more information, see Installation GigE.

For more information about the tested network adapters and the transceivers, see Tested Network adapters and Transceivers.

Cabling

	WARNING
	Electric shock due to improper connection to a power supply.
	Use a 12 V – 24 V DC power supply.

Connect one or both video output ports.
Connect the digital I/O port.
Connect the power supply.

CXP interface

The interface allows you to connect up to four CXP cables. Micro BNC (for CXP12) connectors for the camera and suitable connectors for the frame grabber are required. The maximum cable length is 35 m.

Frame grabber

To establish a CXP connection a frame grabber must be installed and configured on the PC. Refer to the manual of your frame grabber.

For more information about the tested frame grabbers, see Tested frame grabbers.

Cabling

	WARNING
	Electric shock due to improper connection to a power supply.
	Use a 12 V – 24 V DC power supply.

Connect port 0 (master port) of the video output port.
NOTE
For the maximum line rate connect all four ports.
Make sure that port 0 of the camera is connected to port 0 (or A) of the frame grabber. Otherwise, no connection to the camera can be established.
Connect the digital I/O port.

Option 1: Power over CoaXPress (PoC)

To use the power-over-CXP function two connections are needed.

Connect port 0 and port 1 of the video output port.

Option 2: Power supply port

Connect the power supply.

Digital I/O port

NOTE

Ensure a proper GND connection of the digital camera I/O port and your trigger.

The following connector is required for the digital I/O port:

LVCMOS and RS422 levels

I/O standard	V_IL		V_IH		V_OL	V_OH
	V_min	V_max	V_min	V_max	V_max	V_min
LVCMOS	–0.5	0.7	1.7	3.6	0.4	2.1
RS422	–6	0.8	2	6	-	-

	NOTICE
	Non compliance may cause irreparable damages to the device.
	The maximum input level of the LVCMOS is 3.6 V. Use a level converter if necessary (e.g. 74 LVC14).
