SP-12000M-CXP4 / SP-12000C-CXP4
Main Functions
GPIO (Digital Input/Output Settings)
The camera is equipped with GPIO (general-purpose input/output) functions for generating and using
combinations of triggers and other necessary signals within the camera and of signals output from the
camera to the system such as those used for lighting equipment control.
Valid Input/Output Combinations
The following signals can be used as sources for each output destination (Trigger Selector, Line
Selector, Pulse Generator Selector).
You can also connect two different sources to NAND paths in the GPIO and reuse the signal generated
there as a source for a different selector.
The combinations of source signals and output destinations are indicated in the following.

Use
: Under the factory default settings (page 18), the external input signal from the 12-pin
connector (OPT 1 In) is connected as the source signal for the Frame Start trigger signal.
