6.6 External Synchronization and Gen-lock 

(via Camera Link interface ONLY) 

 

The UP-1830CL-12B camera automatically locks to the external sync source.  The external sync 

source must match the camera HD and VD specification, which are 

31.408 KHz and 29.998 Hz 

respectively.  Both external HD and VD are TTL level signals.  

 

a) HD   

H: 

 

2.5V to 5V 

 

 

L:  

 

0V or GND 

 

 

 

 

 

Pulse width:  5-50% duty cycle, see figure 8 shown below. 

 

 
b) VD 

 

 

H: 

 

2.5V to 5V 

 

 

L: 

 

0V or GND 

 

 

Pulse width:  0.5-50% duty cycles

6.7 Long Term Integration 

(via 12-pin Hirose connector ONLY)

 

 

The UP-1830CL-12B camera can be integrated up to 2 seconds. To start integration, pin #11 of the 

12-pin connector must be connected to GND or 0V.  The integrated video will be shifted out 

following the next vertical drive after pin #11 goes back to high or 5V level, as shown in figure 9 
below.  If a frame grabber does not capture the immediate frame or integrated video, the normal 
video (before the integration) will display again on the monitor.  If integration is preferred to 

control via Camera Link interface, consult UNIQ for further details.
