CAMERA (Camera trigger setup)

The GRAPHIX system comes standard with a video input port on the rear of the Instrument
Cluster. This allows the ability for an external camera (optional) to be plugged in, and the
camera's video to be seen on the GRAFIX Instrument Cluster. Typically, the video input port
would be used as a backup camera input, but depending and the camera's configuration and
capability, it may also be used as a forward camera for front mounting on the vehicle as well.
In order for the GRAFIX system to display the camera's video, the Instrument Cluster must be
informed by an external trigger to switch to the camera video input. This can be handled in
multiple ways, and are described below in the TRIGGER menu selection.
• Turn on ignition
• Tap Control Knob to enter MAIN MENU
• Rotate knob to highlight SETUP, tap to select
• Rotate knob to CAMERA, tap to select
• A sub-menu list will appear in the menu box: TRIGGER and BACK
• Rotate the knob to highlight the desired item, tap to select
• TRIGGER: GEAR-REVERSE, EX+, WAIT, DISABLE, and BACK. Rotate the knob to
the desired item, tap to select
GEAR-REVERSE: If the vehicle is configured with a Dakota Digital GSS gear
position sensor module (optional), the output of the GSS can be used to trigger the
GRAFIX to switch to the camera input when the reverse position is detected.
EX+: Use this menu selection when connecting the EX+ terminal of the Control Box
to the vehicle's backup lights or reverse switch.
WAIT: Use this menu selection when connecting the WAIT terminal of the Control
Box to the vehicle's backup lights or reverse switch.
DISABLE: Selecting DISABLE will not switch the GRAPIX display to the external
camera input, regardless of the wiring or GSS gear position detected. (Select this
option if a camera is not connected to the system)
BACK: Will exit the TRIGGER sub-menu
• BACK: Exit the CAMERA setup
Note: The GRAFIX system does not come standard with a video camera. The
Dakota Digital CAM-1000 or CAM-2000 can be purchased separately, or any +12V
camera with an NTSC output, 1vpp with negative sync, 75 ohm impedance can be
used. Regardless of the camera used, follow the specific camera's installation guide
to properly configure the GRAFIX and to install and align the camera in the vehicle.
See Camera Specifications at the end of this document for more details.
