• 1024 x 1024 x 8-bit
• Single or dual digital video output (RS-422).
• Maximum data rate per output: 25MHz.
• Exposure control
• Continuous, asynchronous reset with single video output
N.B. Only single channel mode is supported with Matrox Pulsar (two channel mode requires frame
reconstruction)
Mode 1: Continuous mode (with periodic exposure)

EXPOSUREEXPOSURE
• 1024 x 1022 x 8-bit
• Digital video output (RS-422).
• Non-interlaced.
• Matrox Pulsar sending periodic RS-422 EXPOSURE1 (EXSYNC) signal to camera. The
* Matrox Digital Data Input Board
frequency of EXPOSURE1 signal determines the exposure time and the frame rate; the
EXPOSURE1 signal initiates frame readout.
• Matrox Pulsar receiving RS-422 HSYNC (LVAL) and RS-422 VSYNC (FVAL) signals
from camera.
• DCF used: CAD4D.DCF
Mode 2: Asynchronous reset mode
