28 Chapter 2: Hardware installation
The length of cable that you choose will affect the maximum data transmission
rate. In general, for lengths greater than 40 m, the longer your cables, the lower
the maximum possible bit rate. For example, when using high-quality, 100 m
cables, the maximum possible bit rate is 3.125 Gbits/sec. Another factor that
affects the bit rate is the quality of the cables that you choose.
CoaXPress LEDs
The four CoaXPress LEDs on the main bracket identify the state and activity of
connected devices. The LEDs respect the JIIA CoaXPress Standard version 2.0
specification for connector indicator lamps. The typical sequence of LED states
is as follows:
Matrox R CXPapixo- has
detected a PoCXP-
compliant .connection
Power is provided.
Matrox R CXP is waiting forapixo- a grab
trigger. Note that this state only occurs in
triggered grab mode.
Data is being transferred.
Matrox R CXPapixo- driver has started,
but nothing is connected.
