The camera may also be triggered using VPM (the Trigger tab in the Settings - Camera panel).
Strobes
The camera triggers the strobe simultaneously with the camera shutter. Technical strobe specifications are listed in the
applicable strobe users guide.
A strobe is connected via the I/O connector on the rear of the camera using the optional Input/Output cable (Part # 606-
0607-xx) and the optional terminal block (Part # 248-0138). See “Input/Output” on page 5-1.
Strobe output signals on terminals 7 and 8 provide optically isolated, current-mode signals (300 mA maximum continuous
DC current at 20° C (68° F) – derated at higher temperatures).
If you use a strobe in combination with the camera's shuttering ability, a shroud is not necessary in most cases, provided
you set the shutter open time to a low value.
For more detailed information on configuring strobe timing and duration, refer to the Impact Reference Guide.
LED Ringlight
This section describes the optional LED ringlight (Part # 661-0376-xx) that can be used with the A20 camera.
The last three digits of the part number indicate the LED color: BL = blue, IR = infrared, NIR = near infrared, RD = red,
and WHT = white. The ringlight can be mounted remotely, or directly on the A20 camera body using the optional LED
ringlight adapter kit (Part # 651-0131).
