Genlock Mode for Stereo Capture – ‘g’ command (-H Model)
For stereo and synchronized multi-camera applications the SI-3300-H models supports a Genlock feature.
In normal Frame Snapshot mode, an image can be captured for two cameras simultaneously by triggering the
cameras at the same time. However, this method limits the maximum frame rate to half speed as the exposure and
readout do not overlap and require two frame times per image captured. The first frame time is for Reset and begin
exposure. The second frame time for Readout and completion of exposure. The Genlock mode provides the highest
frame rate synchronization possible by allowing overlapping exposure and readout, just like continuous ERS, while
being synchronized to a triggering timebase.
Sending a ‘g’ command arms the camera for Genlock Mode. Each CC-1 trigger causes the camera to initiate a
frame readout. The camera is left in an armed state, continuing exposure and can be re-triggered at anytime. New
CC-1 triggers can occur immediately after the completion of the current frame readout cycle. Note: The first frame is
improperly exposed and should not be used.
The exposure time should be set to the full frame time for consistent exposures throughout the image. However,
variable exposure times can be used if the Genlock trigger rate matches the normal Frame_Time set by image
height and Vertical Blanking.
The mode is exited by sending a ‘c’ command.
