10.2.4 Reset Continuous (RCT) trigger mode
The RCT mode operates like EPS (edge preselect) mode with smearless function. An
external trigger pulse will immediately stop the video read out, reset and restart the
exposure, then operate as normal mode until the next trigger. After the trigger pulse is
input, a fast dump read out is performed. In the CM-080GE/ CB-080GE, this period is
8.3307ms which is 198L. The exposure time is determined by the pre-set shutter speed. If
no further trigger pulses are applied, the camera will continue in normal mode and the
video signal is not output. The fast dump read out has the same effect as “smearless read
out”. Smear over highlight areas is reduced for the trigger frame. The reset continuous
trigger mode makes it possible to use triggering in conjunction with a lens with video
controlled iris.
This mode is available only in LVAL async mode.
