114 Appendix F: The Matrox Iris GTR breakout board
Routing a Matrox Iris GTR auxiliary output signal to a
third-party device
To route a Matrox Iris GTR auxiliary output signal to an input signal of a
third-party device, connect the device to the output connector of the Matrox
Iris GTR breakout board. The Matrox Iris GTR breakout board can generate a
common return path for the auxiliary output signals when they should be sinking.
In addition, the Matrox Iris GTR breakout board has a +VDC_OUT
wire-terminal on the output connector (J6[+VDC_OUT]) that can provide a
voltage source to third-party devices (for a total maximum of 150 mA); you can
externally connect one auxiliary output signal if it should be a sourcing output
(discussed later).
❖ Note, if using a lighting controller (such as, an Advanced Illumination inline
control system (ICS3), a Smart Vision Lights Brick light, or a similar device), refer
to Routing Matrox Iris GTR auxiliary output signal 0 and the analog intensity control
signal to a lighting controller subsection.
To route a Matrox Iris GTR auxiliary output signal to a third-party input signal
through your Matrox Iris GTR breakout board, perform the following:
1. Connect the power and the digital I/O signals of your Matrox Iris GTR to the
Matrox Iris GTR breakout board by following the steps in the Powering and
connecting section, earlier in this appendix.
