CCD for extended periods of time. The external gate pulse is
placed on the GATE connector pin as shown in the timing
diagram below. The camera has an internal pull-up resistor,
so only a ground closure is necessary. Figure 5 shows the
exact relationship between CCD readout and composite
video. The gate pulse transitions must occur before the CCD
transfer for gating or readout to occur. Figure 6 shows the
gate pulse relationship to video output.
