2.2.1 Digital Interface
This is a 68-pin, high density, dual row, D type connector that interfaces the Mega Plus Camera to
a frame grabber board and serial communication interface for camera control. The frame grabber
board processes and displays video from the camera. A complete technical description of the
connector and the signals that it carries is contained in chapter four of this manual.
2.2.2 Strobe Output
The leading edge of this output signal can be used to fire a strobe light. This output signal is TTL
compatible and can drive a 50-ohm load. A strobe light with a flash duration of less than
1 millisecond is useful for capturing images of fast moving objects.
2.2.3 DC Power Input
This two-pin connector is the power input for the camera. The power supply voltage should be
between 12 and 28 volts DC measured at the connector on the camera rear panel. The current
draw is a maximum of .8 amps at the lowest input supply voltage and .3 amps at the highest input
supply voltage.
WARNING!
Reversing the polarity of the DC voltage input or voltage levels in excess of 30 volts may
permanently damage the camera
