1.2 Power-I/O Connector
 HR10A-7R-6PB（Hirose）or equivalent
 his connector is for the power supply (12Vdc) and input /output signals.
 Use HR10A-7P-6S (Hirose) or equivalent for the cable side.
Pin Assignment
 Input/output signals can be assigned through the camera setting communication (see table 4).
 rigger input signal can be assigned either on Camera Link connector (CC1) or on the No. 2 pin of the
power-I/O connector through the camera setting communication.
IO Signal Patterns
Note 1: Output trigger signal has a latency of 30CLK (Approximately 470 nseconds) from input trigger signal.
Note 2: o input trigger signal from the I/O connector, change the setting of 12H.5.
Note 3: EXPDUR becomes high during exposure.

3.2 Pulse Width rigger Mode
In this “pulse width trigger mode” with positive polarity, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the
trigger signal and stops at the falling edge of the trigger signal. herefore, in the case that the exposure positive
polarity is selected, the actual exposure occurs when the trigger signal is at high state.
3.2.1 Pulse Width rigger Mode（V-Reset）
Note 1: he camera does NO switch to normal mode when the long exposure mode is selected.
his timing chart shows when the long exposure mode selected.
Note 2: he internal VD signal is reset immediately after the exposure is finished as depicted, and the video output
original is sent out according to that reset VD timing.
Note 3: he exposure time is controlled by the pulse width of the trigger signal as depicted.

3.4 H Reset Mode
Normally, video noise appears when the beginning of trigger signal is applied before finishing the video read-out
of the previous frame. his noise is caused by the SUB pulse, which is activated to clear all residual charges on the
CCD prior to a new exposure. By selecting this “H. Reset Mode”, the camera automatically holds the actual activation of
trigger until the next horizontal blanking period. By doing this, the SUB pulse is activated during the horizontal blanking
period and the noise in image can be avoided.
Due to the principal of this operation, there can be maximum “1 H” of delay of actual trigger signal.
