3. Camera Functions 
 

3.1 12-Pin Connector 

 

The 12-pin Hirose connector is located on the rear 
plate of the camera.  All ground signals on pin # 1, 3, 
5, 8, 10, and 12 are common grounds.  Although 
+12 V DC input is recommended on pin #2, this 
camera should wit12 V 

±

 1V input voltage.  

Make sure to set the NRM/ASM switch to NRM 
position on rear plate for external HD and VD 
locking.  Apply TTL signal on HD (pin # 6) and VD 
(pin # 7) inputs if necessary, refer to section 4 for 
details.  Figure 3 below shows a top view of the 12-
pin Hirose connector.

3.3 Shutter Speed Dial Switch 
 

Shutter speed dial switch is located on the rear 
panel (Figure 5).  The camera default setting is at 
ASM.  For normal shutter speed, it has 9 different  
shutter speeds to select from.  Position # 0 is 
standard scanning speed, 1/60 second.  As “Position 
#” goes higher, the shutter speed goes higher and 
the video becomes darker.
