ATTACHING THE ADAPTER PLATE
To attach the A6D camera unit to an existing OEM camera mount
point you will need the adapter plate (P1). This plate is attached
to the camera body with 4 bolts. You must ensure that the plate is
correctly oriented – please see the image below and align the plate
correctly.
Secure the plate with the 4 supplied bolts, ensuring that you tighten
them one turn at a time to provide even pressure. Once the plate is
secure you can mount the lens. Attach the lens shield and the unit is
now ready to mount in the camera pod using the existing P1 bolt layout.
POWER CONNECTION
The A6D camera unit is equipped with three LEMO connectors. The grey
connector is the DC power connector. The unit requires a power source of
12-28 VDC to operate. This will normally be supplied via the aircraft power
system.
SYNCHRONOUS CONNECTIONS
The remaining two connectors are used to synchronise additional
daisy chained camera units so that all exposures take place within 50
microseconds of each other. The centre connector is the signal input and
the right hand connector is the signal output for the next unit. Note that this
requires Aerial Lenses (locked for innity).
SAVING IMAGES TO A MEMORY CARD
If you do not wish to transfer the captured images to a remote computer, the
CFast or SD card slots are available to allow in camera storage.
USB & LINK TO PHOCUS OR SDK BASED APPLICATION
Located on the left-hand side of the camera you will nd the USB socket.
Using the supplied cable and the cable lock ensures the connection will be
securely locked. Once the connector is locked in place and the other end
of the cable attached to your computer system, the camera should show
as connected and camera controls should be congurable via Hasselblad
Phocus software or your own application designed from the SDK.
