MX Cameras
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference 3-13
•Net Connect (MX)
10-Pin female Lemo connector. This connects to the MX Net,
which supplies power and synchronization to the camera and
carries the signal to and from it.
• MX Ethernet Network Status Lights
Standard Ethernet status indicators:
• Tx – Transmit (MX+ and MX)
LED is lit when the MX Ethernet network is capable of
transmitting data.
• Rx – Receive (MX+ and MX)
LED flashes when receiving data and communications from the
MX Ethernet network. The frequency of the flashes varies with
the amount of network traffic.
• Col – Collision (MX only)
LED flashes if a network collision occurs on the MX Ethernet
network.
• Control (MX only)
10-position rotary control. This control is reserved for future use.
Camera Lens Mount
All Vicon MX cameras have a C-Mount lens connection. The lens is
secured in place by a locking ring that can be tightened and loosened
using the lever rods protruding on either side. SLR lens types are
attached to a Vicon MX camera using the supplied connection
adaptor.
Tripod Mount
The underside of the camera body contains a mounting plate, which
has a ¼”–20UNC threaded hole in its center. This is designed to match
the common thread found on most tripod and wall mount fixing
screws. For safety and optimum performance, you are strongly
recommended to use with Vicon MX only tripods and wall mounts that
Vicon Motion Systems has specified as suitable.
