ASSIGNING A Gb CAMERA NETWORK
Connecting the Phantom UHS camera to a Gb Ethernet is straightforward, as virtually
all computers will be compatible with no special equipment or drivers involved. The
main thing that needs to be done is to reassign the network settings of the Ethernet
port to detect the IP address range of Phantom cameras.
1. In the Windows ‘Network and Sharing Center,’ select the camera network. This
opens the ‘Ethernet Status’ window.
2. Change the Ethernet IP settings by selecting ‘Properties,’ then ‘TCP/IPv4’
‘Properties,’ then select ‘Use the following IP address.’
3. Enter:
• IP address: 100.100.100.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
All other settings should be empty.
Click ‘OK.’
4. Ensure the Windows Firewall is disabled for this connection.
You can now start PCC, which should recognize the connected camera in the ‘Manager’
tab. If you are not working with 10Gb, skip to the following ‘Capturing a Cine’ section.
10Gb ETHERNET
STEP 1: IDENTIFY NETWORK ADAPTER
On cameras with the 10Gb Ethernet option, the first step to working with this feature is
to identify a 10GBase-T network card or adapter for the computer itself.
For desktop (tower) PCs, Vision Research specifically recommends the Intel X540-T2
PCIE card.
Laptop computers must have a Thunderbolt connection available in order to take
advantage of one of the many Thunderbolt > 10GBase-T converters on the market.
At the time of writing, the recommended converter is the Promise Sanlink3-N1
10GBase-T converter (Part# SL3N1GL). This device has one Thunderbolt 3 port for
compatibility with current laptops.
For laptops without a built-in RJ45 port, the adapter may have to be physically
connected before selecting the network.
