Some GigE network parameters may prevent video streaming

Last Revision Date: 7/31/2015

This article explains possible causes for failure by GigE Vision cameras to start video streaming and how to fix. 

CAUSE:

Failure to start video streaming may occur under the following conditions:

    • Stream channel packet size is set to the minimum of 576 bpp, AND
    • The Point Grey Image Filter driver is disabled.

ANSWER:

To fix, do one or more of the following:

    • Increase stream channel packet size using either the FlyCapture2 API or the FlyCap2 Demo program. For more information about packet size, consult your camera's Technical Reference Manual.
    • Increase DeviceLinkThroughputLimit 
    • Enable the Point Grey Image Filter driver. For more information, see the FlyCapture SDK Help.
    • Free up system resources by terminating unnecessary programs or processes.
    • Increase virtual memory by increasing the size of the Windows paging file.
