Camera Interface - FLIR Tau CNV User Manual

5.5.4 Camera Interface

The camera interface is used to provide external connections and formatting for camera control, video
output, and camera synchronization. The interface control document (ICD) covers both the pin-outs and
camera commands, and should be used as the reference document for interfacing to the camera.
The Tau CNV has two interface types: (1) The parallel interface; and (2) the group interface. The
parallel interface is a 3.3V Low Voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) interface connector that includes camera
control, digital video output, analog video output, and camera synchronization signals. The group
interface is a cluster of connectors including Camera Link interface for digital control and digital video,
USB control, analog video, trigger in/out, RS232 control (future), and video IRIS (future). See section
6
for a complete description of the camera interface.
