TM-4200GE Software
Software Introduction
Note: Refer to the section on time-outs and packets in the Cam2Net User’s Manual for more
information on packet sizes for point-to-point and networked applications.
Communication with a GigE camera is completely transparent to the user, so if you are used to working
with Camera Link® and/or the JAI Cam2Net adapter, you will find it very easy to migrate.
The TM-4200GE camera has internal frame memory, which sends only the actual image data using the
Gigabit Ethernet interface.
At the PC, the Cam2Net Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a communications interface that
maps the RS-232 command channel through the IP link. All commands sent to and received from the
camera are transparently routed to and from the host PC using the GigE link.
Refer to the Cam2Net User’s Manual for details about network requirements, compatibility, and so on.
