SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

2 : 1 Interlace

The GP-MF130 works in 2 : 1 interlace mode
when external 2 : 1 interlaced HD/VD signal is
supplied to pin-6 and pin-7 of the camera con­nector (12-pin).

When the camera is aimed at a bright light, such
as a spotlight, or a surface that reflects bright
light, smear or blooming may appear. Therefore,
the camera should be operated carefully in the
vicinity of extremely bright objects to avoid
smear or blooming.
