camera as DIFF_RESET_OUT to allow users to trigger other devices.
DIFF_RESET_OUT is labeled INPUT_1 on older DVC cameras and on the Mini-DIN-
to-BNC cable accessory sold by DVC.
Pin 3, TTL_RESET
TTL_RESET is a TTL input used to trigger exposures. It functions identically to the
CameraLink CC1 signal. TTL_RESET is also labeled VRST_INT on older DVC
cameras and on the Mini-DIN-to-BNC cable accessory sold by DVC.
Pin 4, GND
This is the electrical ground for the camera.
Pin 5, ENF
ENF refers to Enable Frame and is a TTL output that is high during active readout lines.
EN_FRAME remains high throughout the active readout and returns low between
frames.
Pin 6, STROBE (and programmable output)
STROBE is a TTL output that, if enabled, is high during the actual sensor exposure time
in certain modes. Refer to the diagrams in Appendix A for details on STROBE operation
with respect to the exposure interval in each mode. STROBE is typically used to
synchronize an external flash lamp or other device with the camera.. The STROBE
signal can also be configured as a programmable output that can be set high or low from
the host computer. Refer to the DVC API documentation for details.
