Introduction

The MEMRECAM GX-3 is designed to analyze images moving at speeds not visible to the naked eye.

The MEMRECAM GX-3 has a unitized configuration with an IC memory as the storage medium and so is a high speed digital camera that possesses the identical compact nature of a high speed film camera, the same immediate playback function of a high speed video camera, and can handle the digital data from all of the images after recording.

The MEMRECAM GX-3 easily performs the high speed photography necessary for high speed techniques. Photography and analysis without the use of a computer is possible with the included software containing the functions of remote operation from a computer with the simple operation of the included remote controller, image storage to a USB compatible external storage medium using the USB port and live image display using the viewfinder or monitor.

The MEMRECAM GX-3 is designed for high speed and superior image quality requirements. Photography at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels is possible with a photographic speed of 1,500 frames per second. High speed photography is possible up to 198,000 frames per second (4(H) x 16(V)) using a split frame. Also, high speed image transmissi on to the cont rol computer can be performed according to the high speed network (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T).

The MEMRECAM GX-3 performs high speed photography in demanding test environments, as well as possessing properties resistant to magnetism.

This user's manual provides the specifications, operating methods, interface with peripheral equipment and system expandability information to use the MEMRECAM GX-3 with these features.

3.2.7 Image Trigger (IMG TRIG) Setting

In the VIEW mode, you can set the IMG TRIG from the VIEW MENU on the J-PAD3.

Image trigger is a function to activate as a trigger when the luminance is changed in the area specified in AOI. However, the image trigger is not activated in case of the grad ual luminance chan ge, such as, weathe r change. In addition, it monitors the luminance level at 7.5Hz (NTSC mode) or 6.25Hz (PAL mode). So, it may not be activated in case of a short duration of luminance change, such as, a flash of 0.2sec or less.

When using the image trigger mode, you should set AOI (see 3.2.6) and an image trigger level. In the VIEW mode, you can set an image trigger level by J-PAD3, as follows.

3.2.8 Automatic Exposure (AE) Control Settings

While in the VIEW mode, the automatic exposure control can be set from the VIEW MENU on the

J-PAD3.

The automatic exposure control（AEC：Automatic Exposure Control） measures the light in a specific area of the image photographed and adjusts the shutter exposure time for the appropriate brightness of the image. This corresponds to brightness changes outdoors (fog, time and changes in the weather). The response speed for the automatic exposure is set to be slower and so this cannot be use d during rapid changes in brightness (strobe lights or explosions and the like).

When using the automatic exposure control, the shutter exposure time is adjusted between the shortest exposure time and the exposure time set as a SHUTTER item. If the time stamp is ON, the value of the shutter exposure time for the recorded frame is saved for each frame.

1) While in the VIEW mode, press MENU

to display the

VIEW MENU.

2) Select "AE" from the VIEW MENU using the arrows

External trigger signal from the TRIG1 connector is input into the MEMRECAM GX-3 via TTL input or contact input. Refer to【7 Specifications】for details. The advantage of using these signals is the ease of use and with contact input, connection is possible between one switch and two wires. It is recommended that this be used in a clean enviro nmen t where the re is no external noise. Please be aware that the voltage tolerance range is quite narrow （-0.5～5.5Vdc）

3.2.13.2 External Trigger Signals from TRIG2

External trigger signal from the TRIG1 connector is input into the MEMRECAM GX-3 via current loop input by the photo coupler. Refer to【7 Specifications】for details.

The advantage of using these signals is the excellent noise resistance and the application for long distance cables. It is recommended that this be used in an environment where noise, such as static is often generated. However, an ex ternal power source is needed to use this input.

3.2.13.3 Filter Value Setting

If trigger is ON by noise throgh an external trigger signal line, set the value of the noise filter to avoid mis-trigger. Please refer to【3. 2.17 Trigger filter setting】for details of the setting procedure.

3.2.14 Recording Method Selection (REC MODE)

While in the STOP mode, the recording method can be selected from the SYS MENU on the J-PAD3.

Select the optimal recording method for our photography from the four choices below. Recording can be performed in the AUTO mode, LOOP mode, ALL BLOCKS mode (only with multi trigger recording) and CONTINUOUS mode (only with multi trigger recording) for each recording method.

 Normal Recording [ NORMAL / NORMAL(A) / NORMAL(L) ]  Burst Recording [ BURST / BURST(A) / BURST(L) ]  Multi Trigger Recording [ MULTI(A) / MULTI(C) / MULTIS(A) / MULTIS(L) ]  Event Recording [ EVENT / EVENT(A) / EVENT(L) ]

Please be aware that depending on the recording method, there may be cases when the trigger input from the J-PAD3 does not function. Trigger input from external trigger signals works for all recording methods. (Table 3-4)

3.2.14.1 AUTO Mode

The AUTO mode has a function that automatically performs memory segment switching when recording stops and switching from the REC mode to the ARM mode. Continuous recording for each memory segment. The STOP mode is a ccessed o nce re co rding to all of the memory seg ments has been completed.

Memory segments where recording has been completed are memory protected, and recording is prohibited in AUTO mode. If the J-PAD3 is used to switch to the ARM mode, a warning message will be displayed (Figure 3-29).

Figure 3-29 Memory Protected

Even if recording to all of the memory segments has not been completed, press ST OP

to stop

recording. Depending on the camera mode when STOP

is pressed, the number of frames saved

before recording is stopped will vary.

 If STOP

is pressed during the ARM mode

If the custom setting for the trigger timing is +100%, recording stops when the same number o f frames is saved.

 If STOP

is pressed during the REC mode

Recording stops after saving from the frame where recording was started to the frame at the instant STOP

was pressed.

3.2.14.2 LOOP Mode

The LOOP mode has a function that automatically performs memory segment switching when recording stops and switching from the REC mode to the ARM mode. It is different from the AUTO mode in that there is no memory protection for memory segments upon the completion of recording. Images are overwritten when memory segments are switched so repeated recording can be performed.

Recording is repeated until STOP

is pressed.。

CAUTION

3.2.14.5 Burst Recording

With burst recording, the frame for the amount of recording time is controlled with burst trigger signals and

saved in the memory.

Burst trigger signals can save only the desired frames from the period recorded in the memory. As shown in Figure 3-31, only the frames during the period when the burst trigger signals are input (ON) are saved to the memory.

Also, the recording memory is segmented into blocks according to the burst trigger signal input time frame. When the total of the frames saved in each block reaches the numb er of frames for each recording time, recording is completed.

Figure 3-31 shows the number of frames for each recording time saved with three burst trigger signal inputs.

3.2.17 Sync Signal Setting in VIEW mode (EST VIEW)

In case of the EST mode, the images are not captured unless the external signal is input to the camera basically. EST VIEW allows you to switch the sync signal between the internal clock signal and the external sync signal for the live image display in VIEW. For example, if you set EST VIEW at OFF, it allows you to monitor the live images in VIEW using internal clock signal even if the external signal is not input (not ready) to the camera.

EST VIEW OFF： Live images are synchronized with the internal clock signal in VIEW.

When you turn to ARM and REC, the sync signal is switched to the external sync signal from the internal clock signal.

EST VIEW ON： Live images are synchronized with the external sync signal in VIEW.

i.e. The sync signal is always the external sync signal in the VIEW, ARM and REC.
