• 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)

• Non-interlaced.
• Matrox Pulsar sending periodic RS-422 EXPOSURE1 (EXSYNC) signal to camera. The

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

NOTE: it is very important that all the GROUNDs of the camera are connected to the
POWER SUPPLY GROUND, which in turn must be connected to the GROUND of the
Matrox Pulsar.
Mode 2: Asynchronous reset mode
• IMG-7W2-TO-5BNC cable required for TTL external trigger signal source and
PULSAR/DIG/MOD required for digital data, sync and control signals in RS-422 format.
• TTL external trigger source should be connected to the TTL trigger input of the IMG-7W2-
TO-5BNC cable.
• All other connection are as in Mode 2: Continuous mode (with periodic exposure)
