CAMERA INTERCONNECTIONS
2.8.1 Basic Interconnections (Bipolar Control)
Typical connections for SCE-X 36:1 camera with bipolar control are:
CONNECTOR PIN
FUNCTION
1
Coax shield and power supply common
2
Composite Video Output
3
Camera power Input (+11 to +30 VDC)
4
Focus Control (+12V - Near, -12V - Far)
5
Zoom Control (+12V - Telephoto, -12V - Wide Angle)
6
Exposure Control (+12V - Increase, -12V - Decrease)
Three (3) additional pins are required if the camera is going to be used with Unipolar
or Differential modes of operation.
2.8.2 Cameras with RS-232 Control (Option)
SCE-X, 36:1s can be furnished with interconnections for remote control from a
computer terminal or any device that can send RS-232 messages. On these
cameras all of the operating functions including focus, zoom and exposure can be
controlled from the computer through two conductors, utilizing standard RS-232
serial data communication. A typical connection for a camera with RS-232 control is
shown below:
CONNECTOR PIN
FUNCTION
1
Coax shield and power supply common
2
Composite Video Output
3
Camera power Input (+11 to +30 VDC)
4
TXD IN (RS-232)
5
RXD IN (RS-232)
6
Digital Ground
Notes:
An RS-232 communications link is limited to a cable length typically less than
100 meters.
ROS can furnish basic software for enabling computer control through and
RS-232 (or RS-485) communications link. The serial RS-232 code for
camera commands can also be furnished by ROS for users that prefer to
develop their own customized software.
