Trigger Range Limit; Image Sensor Fast Trigger Mode; Frame Rate; Auto Frame Rate - Sony XCL-CG510 Technical Manual

Trigger range limit

Only signals in the set trigger width can be accepted as the trigger signal. This functions as a noise filter, which removes
chattering or disturbance noise in the trigger signal line. This also functions as a trigger selector, whereby only a specific
camera can be operated by the trigger when multiple cameras share one trigger signal line. When the trigger signal is
input, exposure is started after the latency as per trigger range settings. If the trigger width is out of the range, video is
not output. If the trigger source is a soft trigger, trigger range limitation is not enabled.

Image sensor Fast trigger mode

If the mode is set to OFF, the next exposure can be started even while reading images from the sensor. The exposure
will be started after approximately 2 line hours later from trigger signal detection.
If the mode is set to ON, the exposure will start immediately upon the trigger detection. The next exposure cannot be
started while reading images.

Frame Rate

Auto frame rate

The reading cycle is set to allow the frame rate to be the maximum value automatically according to the current shutter
setting and the partial scan setting in the free-run operation (Shutter has priority). The next exposure is performed while
outputting a video and the next video output is started immediately after finishing all video outputs. The frame rate is
lowered when setting the shutter time longer than the video output time.
