FIGURE 13.

Async Reset Image Capture

3.3.8 (b)    Integration Image Capture

Set the integration control (pin #11) to low for integration. Integrated video can be captured once 
integration control goes back to high.

3.3.9 Timing

3.3.9 (a)     Digital Video

Differential line-driven, 2 x 8-bit parallel signal with EIA-644 format. 100ohms output termination 
impedance. Output from 51-pin connector. Mating connector: Airborne MQ3130511130000. Please 
consult digital cable information, e.g., 50DG-02LP 2m cable. The TM-6710CL uses the 26CL-02-26 
Camera Link cable. 

3.3.9 (b)    Line Data Valid

Differential line-driven signal with EIA-644 format. It is active high (+ side is higher than - side) during 
the transfer of each line of data.....horizontal line readout.
