Image-Based Auto-Trigger Selector

WARNING:

The Image-Based Auto-Trigger feature should never be used in applications where missed

or false triggers cannot be tolerated or where a false trigger could cause harm to people or

property.

The hardware signaling available in some Image-Based Auto-Trigger modes should be used

only to synchronize multiple Phantom cameras together and should never be used to trigger

or control any other external device or event.

CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM SYSTEM FAILURE, FALSE TRIGGERING OR MISUSE

OF THIS FEATURE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.

The feature allows the end-user to trigger the camera from the motion detected in the live image.

The camera may also provide an external trigger signal based on the Image-Based Auto-Trigger

to be used for synchronizing multiple Phantom cameras. The defined pixel area should be the

area of the image changes are analyzed to auto-trigger the camera.

For a brief explanation of Image-Based Auto-Trigger, see: Functional Descriptions>Image-Based

Auto-Trigger.

Image-Based Auto-Trigger Enable Box

When selected, (checked), the Image-Based Auto-Trigger feature will be enabled.

Only Output Signal Enable Box

When enabled, (checked), The image changes are analyzed, and when an auto-trigger

condition has been detected, the auto-trigger signal will be pulled low. However, the camera

will not trigger itself. An external device pulling the auto-trigger signal low will not trigger the

camera either.

This option is useful when external control of the auto-trigger is desired, for instance, it is

required that the auto-trigger feature is disabled for some known transient event. The

auto-trigger signal from the camera will be routed through some external device and back

into the trigger input of the camera.
