Isolated Ground 

Isolated Ground must be connected to the user’s external circuit ground if Sync Input 1 or Sync 
Output 1 is to be used.  

Signal Ground 

Signal  Ground  must  be  connected  to  the  user’s  external  circuit  ground  if  Sync  Input  2  or  Sync 
Output 2 is to be used or if the RS-232 port is to be used.  Note that Signal Ground is common 
with  Power  Ground  however  it  is  good  practice  to  provide  a  separate  ground  connection  for 
power and signaling when designing the cabling. 

Video Iris 

This signal can be used to drive the video input of a video iris lens. See Addendum. 

DNC 

These signals are reserved for future use and should be left disconnected.
