Synchronization and timing control
Composite sync or Separate sync
H Sync range: 15 kHz to 100 kHz
V Sync range: 15 Hz to 120 kHz
Trigger input, opto-isolated TTL or RS-422
(optocoupler spec: 3.3 to 5 V input requiring a minimum current of 8mA)
Programmable trigger de-bounce delay from 1 to 255 microseconds
Four External Trigger inputs. Any one of them can be used to trigger acquisition from any
camera.
Programmable trigger and strobe
2 Master Mode sync generators permit the genlocking of up to 2 different types of cameras
One strobe output per input
