2.2.1 AIA Interface
The AIA Interface is a 68-pin, high density, dual row, D type connector that connects the camera
to a frame grabber board and a serial communication interface for camera control. The frame
grabber board processes and displays video from the camera. A complete technical description
of the connector and the signals that it carries is contained in Chapter 4 of this manual.
2.2.2 Trigger
The TRIGGER coaxial SMA type input connector on the rear panel of the camera accepts CMOS
TTL signals with a threshold of approximately 2.5 volts. The trigger pulse should have a duration
of at least 300 nanoseconds and should be transmitted to the camera using a coaxial cable
terminated at the camera. The camera synchronizes to an external event using this input. The
operator can set the camera to respond to a positive or negative going trigger signal. See the
timing waveforms in Chapter 4 of this manual.
2.2.3 Strobe
The STROBE coaxial SMA type connector on the rear panel of the camera outputs a signal that
is TTL compatible and can drive a 50-ohm load. The strobe output pulse should be transmitted
through a coaxial cable with a terminating resistor at the receiving end. The leading edge of this
output signal can be used to fire a strobe light. The output signal polarity is user-definable. See
the timing waveforms in Chapter 4 of this manual.
2.2.4 DC Power Input
The DC power input is a two-pin connector. The power supply voltage should be between 12 and
28 volts DC measured at the camera’s power connector. The current draw is a maximum of
0.8 amps at the lowest input supply voltage and 0.3 amps at the highest input supply voltage.
WARNING!
Reversing the polarity of the DC voltage input, or voltage levels in excess of 30 volts, may
permanently damage the camera
