CV-M77

1 General

The CV-M77 camera is a compact RGB color progressive scan camera designed for automated imaging applications. The 1/3" CCD sensor with square pixels and primary mosaic filter offers a superb image quality and the build in DSP assures high color reproduction.

The camera incorporates several triggered modes and various shutter functions to capture moving objects and to control the light. All camera mode settings can be controlled via an RS-232C interface or by the switch at the rear of the camera.

The CV-M77 camera is ideal for demanding color applications such as color inspection, gauging and color printing.

5.4Input and Output Circuits

In the following schematic diagrams the input and output circuits for video and timing signals are shown. For alternative connections refer to “Internal Switch and Jumper Settings”. Jumper settings are shown as for factory default.

5.4.1Video input

The video output signal is a 75Ω RGB video signal. The signal level is 0.7Vpp. Composite sync. is selectable on the green

video signal via software or the internal switch 302-3. The sync. signal level is 0.3Vpp.

5.4.2 Trigger input

The trigger input is AC coupled with a flip-flop. The input signal level is 4V ± 2V.

The trigger input impedance is 1.2 kΩ or 75Ω selectable via the internal switch S301-3.

5.4.3HD and VD input

The HD and VD input circuit can be 75Ω terminated via the internal switch S301-1 and S301-2.

The input signal level is 4V ± 2V.

5.4.4 HD, VD, PCLK, WEN and EEN output

The output circuits for these signals are 75Ω complementary emitter followers. The single circuit delivers a TTL signal. The output level ≥ 4 V from 75Ω (no termination).
