6.4. Addition of Top of Frame Capture to Integration
For integration with RTK and/or PPK GPS systems, or other systems requiring
precision timestamping of image capture, the Top of Frame output (ToF) can be used
to precisely log the start of image exposure with an accuracy of a few tens of
nanoseconds. The ToF function is available for use in any of the integration scenarios
listed above, though typically the aircraft will be providing both triggering as well as
GPS/IMU information to the camera via serial/Ethernet protocol.
To use RTK/PPK GPS with sync output from camera, a custom 6-pin cable will be
needed, which connects to the “DLS/GPS” connector on the camera. One end of the
cable will connect to the DLS and the other end (with Ground and Pin 4 - see table in
Section 5.1.2) would connect to the RTK/PPK GPS receiver or associated computer.
