7. 4 E. TRG (External trigger) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, and 1 frame images are output. There are four modes: 1P SNR, 1P SR, PW SNR, PW SR. ( 1 ) 1P SNR (1 Pulse Trigger Sync Non Reset) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, and 1 frame images are output. (1.
( 2 ) 1P SR (1 Pulse Trigger Sync Reset) Charge begins to accumulate after the trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal, the vertical sync signal is reset and frame images are output. (2.
( 3 ) PW SNR (Pulse width trigger SYNC-NON RESET) The trigger input to CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal develops 1 frame images. (3.
( 4 ) PW SR (Pulse width trigger SYNC-RESET) The trigger input to the CC1 of the DIGITAL terminal develops 1 frame images. (4.
( 5 ) RR (Reset restart) Input of an external reset-restart signal (CC4 of the DIGITAL terminal: External VD input) permits one screen of information to be output at an arbitrary timing. (5. 1) Long Term Exposure When a sufficient sensitivity is not obtained with the normal operation conditions or capturing the trial of a moving subject is desired, the reset-restart function allows high-sensitivity images by extending the exposure time.
7. 5 Partial Read ( 1 ) Partial Scanning OFF (All pixels scanning) In this mode, all pixels independent signal from the DIGITAL connector is output each 1/29.2 second (Line order output). Video interval image 1/29.2s (796H) ( 2 ) Partial Scanning ON In this mode, the pixel signal of the vertical center portion from the DIGITAL connector is output. In the E.✽✽fps mode, the partial scanning and the all pixels scanning can be switched by the DIGITAL terminal (CC2: partial scanning control signal). CC2 E.
7. 6 External Sync When using the unit with an external sync signal, input HD and VD to CC3 and CC4 of the DIGITAL terminal. When the external sync signal is input, the camera automatically switches its sync from the internal sync to the external sync. The operation is as shown below, depending on the unit's status and how external sync signals are input.
