Details
• 1024 x 1024 x 8-bit @ 30fps (max) or 1024 x 512 x 8-bit @ 60fps (max)
• Analog video output
• Interlaced or non-interlaced
• Internal TTL hsync and vsync signals supplied externally
• Internal or external exposure (frame integration time) control
• Accepts asynchronous TTL external trigger
• 60Hz maximum frame rate/40MHz clock rate version
• 3 modes of operation: continuous (3 submodes), trigger, control
• Modification of the integration (or exposure) time is possible in each of these 3 modes; the
frame rate is determined by the integration time (in addition to a constant frameshift
duration of 0.7ms)
1. Continuous Mode
Submode 1:
• 1024 x 1024 x 8-bit @ 30fps (max)
• Analog (composite) video output
• Interlaced
• Continuous video
• Internal exposure control:
1.024ms to 19.328ms in increments of 1.024ms (frame rate is altered accordingly)
• DCF used: FTM12.DCF
