TM-1400 Series Progressive Scan Shutter Cameras

FIGURE 8.

Pulse Width Async Shutter Timing

3.5.2 Internal Shutter Speed Control

The video signal starts with internal VD. The camera operates the reset and shutter in the same way as 
the external pulse width control mode. When the external VINIT pulse is applied, internal VD is latched 
to H

D

 and the internal VD is delayed to set up the shutter speed period. The shutter speed is controlled 

by the dial switch from “1” to “8.” Video output timing starts right after the internal VD and single 
shots, FDV is output at the internal VD timing.
