CTRL (RS232 CONTROL)
A 4-pin LEMO connector supports RS232 remote control for stereoscopic camera image capture, and
third party metadata ingest applications. Supported command protocol is available on request.
The shutter Sync Output signal acts as an immediate response hardware tally of a scan. This is useful
for 3D or motion control applications where a slave camera or lighting device needs to be synchronized
to a master camera.
Alternatively, this output pin may be used as a GPO (General Purpose Output) tally, whose function is
programmed in the USER KEYS menu. Default is Record Tally.
