Camera Port Connectors
Camera 0 and 1 port connectors are high-density, 15-pin, HD-15F connectors located
on the back panel of the MVS-8100L. Cameras 2 and 3 port connectors are high-density
HD-15F connectors located on the camera port expansion panel. Figure 12 shows the
pin numbering for all four camera port connectors.
Figure 12. Pin numbering for camera port connectors
The HD-15F connector used for all four camera ports is equivalent to Amp part number
748390-5. The jack screw size for connecting cables is #4-40.
Note The camera connectors are similar to the connector for a standard
VGA monitor. Attaching a VGA monitor cable to a camera connector
can cause the board to malfunction. However, the PolySwitch
resettable fuse on the camera port should protect the board from
permanent damage. Normal operation is restored after the incorrect
connection is removed.
Pinout of Camera Port 1
The pinout for camera port 0 differs from that of the other camera ports in that it includes
alternative access to the trigger and strobe I/O lines. Table 6 shows the pinout for
camera port 1.
