Configuring Camera Link outputs (Command: OS1, OS2)
The AD-081CL has two Camera Link connectors. These two outputs can be synchronized or
separated by the software command IS. Each connector can output an individual signal or two
signals added as shown below. In order to output two signals through one Camera Link
connector, the output mode must be set at “synchronous”, IS=0.
If it is set at “Separate”, IS=1, the output is automatically limited to one output.

If OS is set to 0 or 1, the camera can be operated in either Synchronous mode or Separate
Mode.
In Synchronous mode, trigger 1 input is effective as a trigger for both BW1 and BW2. In case of
Separate mode, trigger 1 and trigger 2 are both in effect so that different trigger timing can be
applied to each camera.
7.1.3
Continuous operation or triggered operation
The AD-081CL can operate in continuous mode to support applications not requiring an external
trigger.
This mode permits the use of a lens with video controlled iris. The AD-081CL uses the signal
from imager 1 (BW1) for this purpose.
The external trigger signal can be input through pins number 10 and 11 of the 12-pin HIROSE
connector.
These inputs can be changed to Camera Link by the command “TI“. When the camera output
is in “Synchronous” mode, trigger 1 input has a priority and controls two imagers. In the case of
“Separate” mode, each imager operates by Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 respectively.
Trigger signal is TTL as the default setting but it can be changed to 75 ohm input by the internal
DIP switch as described in Fig.8.
