Pullup circuitry
In some cases, you must add pullup circuitry to connect an output device to an
auxiliary input signal; specifically, you must attach an external pullup resistor
between the voltage source and the pin.
This is required when you connect the AUX_INn- pin to the electrical return path
and the third-party output device is sinking. In this case, select a resistor value that
will not over-current the output device and provides just enough current and
voltage to your Matrox 4Sight EV6 auxiliary input signals, according to the
Matrox 4Sight EV6 electrical specifications section in Appendix B: Technical
reference . Note that you should use a resistor with an appropriate power rating for
your circuit.
