[3] External Synchronous Signals

This camera module uses external synchronization to
synchronize with the camera.

1 External Synchronization Specifications

⁃

NTSC Format: 60 Hz±0.25 (Negative

Synchronization)

⁃

PAL Format: 50 Hz±0.25 (Negative

Synchronization)

Input the LINE IN signal into the external
synchronization signal input terminal of the camera
(8 and 9 pins).

2 Internal/External Synchronization

When the power to the camera is turned on,
the external signal is input into the external
synchronization signal input terminal (8 and 9 pins).
The camera is driven by external synchronization
in the case of external synchronization (L-L). Even
if external synchronization is input, this does not
switch in the case of internal synchronization (INT).
When there is no input signal, the 8 pin is set to
Open and High:5V and is automatically set to internal
synchronization camera drive.

Note: When the camera is configured to external

synchronization (L-L), do not use the 8 pin
to fix the LowGND. This shifts the internal
synchronization frequency of the camera and
normal imaging signals cannot be emitted.
Although synchronous switching is automatic
even when switching the signal input after
turning the power on, image shaking, etc. may
occur.

[4] External Camera Control

This camera module can control the various functions
from the RS232C port of a PC, etc.

Note: Do not input signals other than LINE IN. Image

synchronization failure may occur (shaking,
jittering, etc.).

⁃

RS232C Communications Circuit

The communication interface of the camera (1, 2,
and 3 pins) is on the C-MOS level. A level shift circuit
(5Vp-p  12Vp-p) is separately required to directly
input to a PC, etc.

various byte data is 500 [msec]. If this is
exceeded, a communication error is detected
in the camera unit, the receiving data is
deleted, and data from the header is waiting
to be received again. Furthermore, there are
no special regulations regarding the minimum
value.
All the commands can be acquired after the
periods below after start-up.
