6.10. Smearless Mode
This mode will reduce the unwanted smear signal from a highlighted scene when a short
exposure time is used. The trigger mode is like edge pre-select, but a fast dump readout is
performed before the active accumulation is started. It will remove the smear over the
highlighted parts in the image, but there is still smear left below highlighted areas.
The trigger leading edge will start the dummy readout. It takes 28 H before the exposure start.
The exposure stops and the resulting video signal is read out after the selected shutter time. It

The exposure stops and the resulting video signal is read out after the selected shutter time. It
can be the 9 first steps normal or 1023 step programmable. SM=0 or SM=1.
This mode will operate with full and partial scanning. An EEN pulse will indicate the active
accumulation time, and a WEN pulse indicates that the resulting video is read out.

Important notes on using this mode.
• As the start of exposure will be synchronized with the internal H signal, the start of
exposure may be shifted by max 1H. To avoid this shift (jitter), synchronize the camera
with an external HD and make sure that the trigger pulse aligns to the HD signal as shown
in Fig. 14.
with an external HD and make sure that the trigger pulse aligns to the HD signal as shown
in Fig. 14.
• The duration of the external trigger pulse must be greater than 1H. It is recommended to
make this longer, typically 9H. This is a TTL level pulse, which can be positive or
negative going (the camera can be set to accept any polarity).
negative going (the camera can be set to accept any polarity).
• Do not input ext. VD signal at pin 7 on 12 pin connector, as it may disturb the external
trigger function.
• Do not input a new trigger before the previous video is read out. (WEN is high).
