Chapter 9: Support
There is a 19-pin Amphenol connector on the back of
the camera that is called the Capture Connector. The
connector has the following available signals:
• Event input (an external signal can “mark” one or
more frames with an event marker making it easy
to later find and view specific frames)
• Trigger input (provides a hardware trigger to the
camera)
• Strobe output (is a low during the frame exposure
time)
• Ready output (is high when the camera is capturing
pretrigger frames)
• IRIG-In (external sync and time stamping from a
modulated or unmodulated IRIG source)
• IRIG-Out (provides an unmodulated IRIG source that
contains timing information from the camera)
• Video Out (a composite video signal, either NTSC
or PAL)
• Serial Port input (for serial protocol control of
camera)
• Power Out (24VDC, used to power the Break-out-
Box)
• A-Sync output (optionally, signal goes low when
a trigger event is detected by the Image-Based
Auto-Trigger feature allowing for multiple cameras
to be synchronized to an event trigger)
• Pre-trigger/Memgate input (mode is set in software;
if Memgate is low, acquired frames are discarded
rather than saved to camera memory; Pre-trigger
signal “arms” the camera and starts the acquisition
of pretrigger frames)
Detailed information about these signals is available using
the PCC application’s Help feature.
What signals are available
on the Capture Connector,
on the back of the camera,
and which of those are provided
on the standard Capture Cable
that ships with the camera?
