1 General The CV-M77 camera is a compact RGB color progressive scan camera designed for automated imaging applications. The 1/3" CCD sensor with square pixels and primary mosaic filter offers a superb image quality and the build in DSP assures high color reproduction.

6 Functions and Operation Apart from the standard continuous operation, the CV-M77 features three external triggering modes, Edge Pre-select, Pulse Width Control mode and Readout Delay mode. These 3 external triggering modes operate with H non-reset. In H non-reset, the exposure will be synchronized to the internal HD and the exposure will start at the first HD after the negative going edge of the trigger (see figure 6-1).
