JAI CV-A11 Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

The exposure time is the interval between 2 ext. VD pulses sent to the VD input of the camera 
(Pin No. 7 of the 12-pin Hirose connector). The exposure starts after input of the first ext. VD 
pulse, and ends after the next input of the next ext. VD pulse, which again starts a new 
exposure. The long time exposure is a continuous process where each external VD will 
synchronize the camera, stop on exposure, start a new exposure and read out the previous 

accumulated signal. The exposure time can be selected in intervals of complete vertical timing 
periods (=525H). 

 

To use this mode: 
Set function: 

Trigger mode to “Long Time exposure” 

TR=4   

 

 

 

 

Polarity and other functions 

 

Input:   

 

Ext. trigger to pin 5 on 6 pin connector (or 11 on 12 pin connector) 

 

 

 

 

Ext. VD to pin 7 on 12 pin connector. 

 

 

 

 

Ext. HD to pin 6 on 12 pin connector.

Exposure time range is 1/30 sec. to ∞. However, it is recommended not to use exposure over 

2.0 sec. This is because visible dark current noise may appear on the video signal due to the 
long time exposure of the CCD image sensor. 
External sync system should follow the camera scanning system. 
Ext. HD signal (TTL 2.0~5.0V) has to be input continuously. 
See Fig. 11 for the phase relationship between ext. HD and ext. VD pulses 
The EEN pulse is not provided when using this mode.
