Memory Shot - Sony XCG-CG40 Manual

White Balance (XCG-CG510C/CG240C/CG160C)
The white balance can be automatically adjusted when the
BalanceWhiteAuto command is executed. The detection area is
set to the screen center by default. The detection area can also be
displayed on the screen.
The detection frame can be changed arbitrarily (DetectAreaWBAuto).
For manual correction, the GainDigital should be changed.
GPIO
GPI
The signal level which is input in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th* DC IN
connector can be detected. After selecting a connector by
LineSelector register, the signal level is acquired from LineStatus
register.
* Only output is available for XCG-CG160/CG160C/CG40
GPO
Various signals can be output from the 3rd and 4th DC IN
connector. After selecting a connector by LineSelector register
and setting LineMode to Output, LineSource is set. The output
polarity is set by LineInverter register.

Memory shot

Memory shot is a function that controls the exposure timing and
image output to the network individually.
This is effective when multiple cameras are connected to the
same network and it is necessary to expose them at the same
time in a configuration that exceeds 1 Gbps band when operated
simultaneously.
Memory shot is available in multi-frame mode or single-frame
mode.
Number of images that can be saved is determined by image size
and pixel format.

Output timing control
Normally, images are sequentially output when exposure ends, but
the image output start timing can be delayed.
Optimal when requiring simultaneous exposure, but there are
several cameras connected to the same network and the
configuration makes the bandwidth exceed 1Gbps when operated
simultaneously.
Optimal when shooting 1 shot with single frame or trigger.
