9.4 Camera Compatibility
Compatible cameras can be purchased from Adept. See the AdeptVision VME User’s Guide
for a list of other cameras that can be used with the AdeptVision VME product. If you
have a camera that is not on that list, the following information presents some guidelines
for camera compatibility with AdeptVision VME (minimum requirements):
• RS-170 camera video output (US-style monochrome, 30Hz frame rate [60Hz field
rate], 525 lines, interlaced)
• External Hd and Vd sync signals (inputs to camera)

• Connector: Hirose HR10-10S-12P
• Pinout: typical Sony/Panasonic etc. (See Table 9-3 for pinout) – not Pulnix
standard pinout.
You can use these guidelines to rule out cameras – if they do not meet all the above, you
cannot expect to plug in and work. If they do meet all the above – there is a good chance
they will work.
The pixel resolution of the Adept frame store is 640x480; we suggest the camera should be
at least about 500 x 480. More is normally better, if the camera, lens, etc., are good quality.
The actual number of pixels does not affect compatibility, because the interface is via the
RS-170-standard video-link.
