3.5 Gain Control (AGC/MGC)
Manual gain control (MGC)
MGC isstandardfactorysetting onthis
camera. The manual gaincontrolcan be
adjusted from9dB to 18 dB onlydue to the
factorydefaultsetting of AGC and AGC MAX
control.Adjusting the gainpotentiometer
located onrear panel,infigure6, will change
the gainvalue.
Automaticgain control (AGC):
AGC isnotavailable and itisnot
recommended to use by UNIQ.

6.6 External Synchronization and Gen-lock (viaCameraLinkinterfaceONLY)
The UP-600CL-12Bcameraautomaticallylocksto the externalsync source. The externalsync
source must match the cameraHD and VD specification, which are31.49KHz and 59.97Hz
respectively. BothexternalHD and VD areTTLlevelsignals.

Pulse width:5-50% duty cycle, see figure8shown below.
b) VD

6.7 Integration (via12-pin HiroseconnectorONLY)
The UP-600CL-12Bcameracan be integrated up to 2seconds without severenoise ordarkcurrent
effect. Tostartintegration, pin#11 (same as pin #27 of 40-pindigital connector)of the 12-pin
connectormust be connected to GND or 0V. The integrated video will be shifted out following the
next vertical drive after pin#11 goesback to high or 5V level,as shown infigure9below. If a
frame grabber does notcapturethe immediate frame orintegrated video,the normal video(before
the integration) will display againonthe monitor.
