Input Signals

 

Signals to operate the camera can be input via the terminals on the back of the system's camera. 

The signals that can be input are listed below. 

 

 

 

A signal other than the specified signal must not be input to the connectors.  

Use extreme caution as there is a risk of damage to both devices, the input device and the 

output device. 

 

3.13.1.  TRIG SW IN Connector

 

This trigger is input during the READY or ENDLESS recording state by contact between the BNC 

connector's shield and a center pin (switch closure). The center pin normally has voltage flowing 
through it. Use caution to avoiding contact with other pins. 

 

 

3.13.2.  SYNC IN Connector

 

The system recognizes a TTL signal from other devices as a synchronization signal.  
Input voltage is 0V to +12V (H level +4.5V to +12V), positive or negative polarity, pulsewidth is 50 

ns or greater.  

Operating current is 10 mA recommended, 30 mA maximum.
