4. Interfacing to the world 45
Caution
Always check your camera I/O power compatibility before interfacing the
camera to other devices.
Connecting the camera to incompatible input signals may cause permanent
damage to the camera itself.
4.1 I/O CABLE
The NECTA I/O connector can host a cable to interface the camera to the world. Standard interface
cables can be provided as optional accessories (refer to Section 2.3); they are made of ve signal pairs,
a power pair and an additional global braid shielding. The cable shielding is connected to the NECTA
aluminum case and to the protective earth of the controlling computer (through the USB cable). One
end of the I/O cable features a Hirose connector (mod. HR10A-10P-12P) for connecting to NECTA , the
other end is left open for connecting to external devices. The wire insulating material in the cable is
either solid color or striped lengthwise in two colors, according to the DIN47100 standard. Refer to the
table below for a detailed description:
