Details
• 5000 x 1 x 8-bit
• analog or digital video output (RS-422)
• internal sync
• 3 modes of operation (analog or digital video output): continuous line scan mode,
asynchronous line scan mode, periodic exposure control line scan mode
1. Continuous line scan mode

iVC-
185BC
• 5000 x 1 x 8-bit
• Analog or digital video output (RS-422)
• DCF configured for 750 lines per virtual frame
• The line scan rate and the exposure time are determined by the frequency of the hsync
CLTout
RCLK
Matrox Pulsar
(with PLS-TTL-CABLE
or PULSAR/DIG/MOD)
(CLTout) signal; the exposure time is the period of the CLTout signal, which is set
using the thumb wheel on the rear of the camera
• Continuous video
• Camera sending RS-422 hsync (CLTout) and RS-422 pixel clock (RCLK @ 20MHz)
signals to Matrox Pulsar
• DCFs used: IV185L.DCF (analog video output)
IV185DL.DCF (digital video output)
2. Asynchronous line scan mode
Video
iVC-
185BC
• 5000 x 1 x 8-bit
• Analog or digital video output (RS-422)
• DCF configured for 750 lines per virtual frame
• The line scan rate and the exposure time are determined by the frequency of the
LTin
CLTout
RCLK
TTL external trigger
Matrox Pulsar
(with PLS-TTL-CABLE
or PULSAR/DIG/MOD)
external trigger signal; the exposure time is the time between external trigger signals
• Matrox Pulsar receiving TTL external trigger
• Matrox Pulsar sending asynchronous RS-422 EXPOSURE1 (LTin) signal to camera
to initiate line readout
• Camera sending RS-422 hsync (CLTout) and RS-422 pixel clock (RCLK @ 20MHz)
signals to Matrox Pulsar
• DCFs used: IV185AL.DCF (analog video output)
IV185DAL.DCF (digital video output)

Matrox Pulsar
(with PLS-TTL-CABLE

periodic trigger signal supplied by the Pulsar; the exposure time is the reciprocal of the
frequency of this signal
• Matrox Pulsar sending periodic RS-422 EXPOSURE1 (LTin) signal to camera to
initiate line readout
• Camera sending RS-422 hsync (CLTout) and RS-422 pixel clock (RCLK @ 20MHz)
signals to Matrox Pulsar
• DCFs used: IV185EL.DCF (analog video output)
• IV185DEL.DCF (digital video output)
1a. Continuous line scan: analog video output
• IMG-7W2-TO-1BNC cable required for video signal and PLS-TTL-CABLE required
for digital syncs and control signals in RS-422 format
• The connections between the DB-15 connector on the rear panel of the camera and a
BNC connector are as follows:
i2S iVC185BC
(DB-15 male connector) BNC connector
Pin no.Pin name
15 Video composite VIDEO OUT
7 Analog ground GROUND
• The video input BNC of the IMG-7W2-TO-1BNC cable should be connected to the
above BNC connector
• The connections between the DB-15 connector on the rear panel of the camera and the
DB-37 connector of the PLS-TTL-CABLE are as follows:
i2S iVC185BC PLS-TTL-CABLE
(DB-15 male connector) (DB-37 female connector)
