This chapter describes how to use a Hirose trigger connector and cable with the SMX-
12A2x camera. Hirose trigger connector is included in the standard camera kit. Since a
cable is not included in the standard connector package, this document will guide on
how to use the connector with a cable. For more information on trigger settings that
can be configured in the camera application, see
“Trigger Settings” on page 32
.
Connector Pinout
The following table explains layout of trigger pins..

Note:
If you connect the camera to an external power supply via the trigger connector instead of PoE adapter, you can
achieve better quality of video output.
Powering via External Trigger
Powering the camera via the Hirose trigger is more reliable than via the PoE power
supply. It is safer for both the camera and the net card and is more reliable for data
transfer.
