CAMERA INTERFACE
USB 2.0 CONNECTOR
Firefl y ® MV
The has a standard USB 2.0 connector that is used for data transmission, camera control and
powering the camera.
CABLES
The maximum USB 2.0 cable length between any USB node (e.g. camera to PCI card, card to hub, etc.) is 5.0 m, as
specifi ed by the USB 2.0 standard. Use standard, shielded twisted pair copper cables.
GENERAL PURPOSE I/O CONNECTOR
The Firefl y MV has a 7-pin GPIO connector on the back of the board. The connector is made by JST (Mfg P/N:
BM07B-SRSS-TB). The Development Kit contents include a pre-wired female connector; refer to the diagram
below for wire color-coding. Additional female connectors (Mfg P/N: SHR-07V-S-B) can be purchased from Digikey
(P/N: 455-1382-ND).

To confi gure the GPIO pins, consult the "General Purpose Input / Output"
Pre-wired GPIO cable
section of the PGR IEEE-1394 Digital Camera Register Reference.
The Firefl y MV GPIO pins are TTL 3.3V pins. Inputs can be confi gured to accept external trigger signals. When
confi gured as inputs, the pins are internally pulled high using weak pull-up resistors to allow easy triggering of the
camera by simply shorting the pin to ground (GND). Inputs can also be directly driven from a 3.3V or 5V logic
output. The inputs are protected from both over and under voltage. It is recommended, however, that they only be
connected to 5V or 3.3V digital logic signals. Outputs can be confi gured to send an output signal or strobe pulse.
When confi gured as outputs, each line can sink 10mA of current.

12-BIT TO 10-BIT COMPANDING
A gamma value of 0 yields a linear response; a value of 1 puts the camera into 12-bit to 10-bit mode. This
mode allows higher ADC resolution (12 bits) for low-level signals (shadow details) and lower ADC resolution
(9 bits) for high-level signals (highlight details).
