Camera Link (Note) The pins of Camera Link connector are differently laid out for the camera (upper table) and for the capture board. Note that the connection numbers of the cable for the capture board are opposite to those for the camera as described below:...
Page 5 * The port assignment is in conformity to “Base Configuration”, the standard of Camera Link. * 8 or 10 bit digital image signal output complying with Camera Link STD (Base Configuration) can be obtained. * Indicators in parenthesis corresponding to camera signal name PORTA(0) to PORTA(7), PORTB(0) to PORTB(1) are bit assignment for 8 bit output.

Page 7 (Note) OR operation (negative OR) is implemented inside the camera between Vinit1 input signal from Pin (6) of “POWER” connector and Vinit2 input signal as CC1 signal of “Camera Link” connector (see the figure below). (Note) If either one of those are fixed to the L level (active state),...
Page 8 ● Polarity reversal of Vinit2 input The input polarity of the trigger signal (Vinit2) to be applied via CC1 of Camera Link can be inverted. Some capture boards may have the polarity of the trigger signal input from CC1 that is fixed to positive logic (L level at normal/H level at active), which is not compatible with the trigger signal of negative logic input (factory preset polarity of this equipment).
Page 9 M08627;9/39 (4-4) Input of external synchronous trigger signal(Ext-HD/VD) ● How to input external synchronous trigger signal When more than one cameras are used in synchronization state, it is necessary to input external synchronous signal (Ext-HD/VD signal) from user side equipment. When it is needed to synchronize horizontal timing, input HD signal. Input HD and VD signals to synchronize both horizontal and vertical timings.
Page 10 M08627;10/39 [Explanation] Use of strobe signal in continuous shutter mode Shutter exposure time Exposure Exposure Continuous lighting Useless lighting time Valid Useless lighting time Valid STRB signal In the continuous shutter mode, only the incoming light for the time matching the exposure time of the camera is valid. Accordingly, when a lighting unit is used in the continuous lighting mode, the lighting in any time other than this exposure time period would be wasted.
Page 11 M08627;11/39 (Note) Carefully note that the temperature data obtained by this monitoring function is not for the ambient temperature but the internal temperature of the camera. As a general rule, the internal temperature of the camera is higher than the ambient temperature because of the heat generation associated with the consumed electric power inside the camera.
Page 12 M08627;12/39 (4-9) Operation confirmation buzzer This equipment is designed to sound the confirmation buzzer of “pip” when a stroke is applied to the UP/DOWN switch on the rear panel, or at the time of other manipulation including the start-up after power application. The factory default setting is ON.

M08627;17/39 6. How to Change Setting (6-1) How to set shutter speed The shutter speed is determined mainly by the setting positions of the shutter switch from “0” to “9”. Table 6-1 Setting value of shutter speed Position of High speed shutter (continuous/asynchronous) Low speed shutter (continuous) shutter switch No shutter (continuous)
Page 18 M08627;18/39 (Note) When any setting item is changed, it must be saved in one of the program pages from “A” to “F” before turning off the power to store the data in the memory of the camera. Carefully note that the new setting is not automatically saved and that the prior setting will be effective at the next time of power-on if the power is turned off before storing it.

When the position of the mode switch is changed, a flashing “*” mark appears on the left of the numeric value or the parameter of the item corresponding to the switch position to indicate that the setting can be changed using the UP/DOWN switch.

(the part circled in the above right figure). If signal conversion from serial to parallel is made by a channel link device in accordance with the Camera Link standard on the side of the receiving end, the phase relationship between the clock and the data after decoding will be different from that of the above timing due to the structural nature of a channel link device.
