Introduction
1.2.2 - Controller Cards
The Controller cards (CCI-22, CCI-23 or CCI-24) buffer data from the camera, before transfer to the computer memory,
via the PCI bus. The CCI-22 & CCI-23 require a PCI 2.2 slot; the CCI-24 requires a PCIe x1 slot.
All boards are well shielded against electrical interference.
Your iXon3 will be supplied with the controller card that is optimal for your camera model. Controller cards have a 26-pin
interface for connection via a cable to the PC and an auxiliary connector. The pin-outs for the cards are shown on page 79.
