CM-200 MCL / CB-200 MCL
The following 10 steps can be selected by command SH=0 through SH=9.
OFF (1/25), 1/60, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000, 1/10000
Programmable Exposure (PE)
The Exposure time can be programmed in 32 µs (1 LVAL period) increments. The range is from 2L
to 1251L.
Minimum shutter speed 2L
Maximum shutter speed 1251L
32µs x 2(L) = 64 µs

Continuous operation or triggered operation
The camera can operate in continuous mode applications not requiring asynchronous external
trigger. This mode permits the use of a lens with video controlled iris. The camera will operate at
its maximum frame rate, 25 frames / second in this mode.
For applications that require an external trigger, the camera can accept an external trigger input
on pin 10 of the 12-pin Hirose connector or via Camera Link interface. The command “TI” is used
to switch between inputs.
The camera can operate up to 24 frames / second in triggered operation.

Iris video output
The iris video output in pin 4 on the 12-pin Hirose connector is
700 mV for 100% video out in Camera Link. The iris video signal
is taken before the gain circuit. It is without sync. The iris video
signal can be used for auto iris lens drive in continuous mode.
