1 The connector specifications
A. Camera Link connector: SDR (3M) or equivalent
Caution: This product is not PoCL type. Only apply 12Vdc power through the power/IO connector.
B. Power/IO connector: HR10A-7R-6PB (Hirose) or equivalent
This connector is for a 12Vdc power input and the input and output signals.
Trigger input signal can be assigned through the camera setting communication.
1.1 Pin assignment
A. Camera Link Connector
B. Power/IO Connector
Notes:
Trigger input signal can be assigned either on Camera Link connector (CC1) or on the No. 2 pin of the power/IO
connector through the camera setting communication.

1.2 The signals of the power/IO connector
The input and output signals of the power/IO connector can be change through the camera setting
communication.
The input and output signals of the power/IO connector can be change through the camera setting
communication.
Note.1: Please change “F0H” address data of the register when change the signals of the power/IO connector.
Please change “C0H” address data of the EEPROM when save the signals of the power/IO connector
setting.
“F0H” address data could not save to the EEPROM.
Note.2: Output trigger signal has below delay from the trigger signal input:
30CLK (Approximately 470 useconds)
Note.3: Please change “12H.5” when use the trigger signal input from the power/IO connector.
Note.4: The exposure time is “High” while the camera exposures.

3.2 Pulse width trigger mode
In this trigger mode with positive polarity, the camera exposure starts at the rising edge of the trigger pulse and
stops at the falling edge of the trigger pulse. Therefore, In the case of the exposure positive polarity is selected, the
exposure periods are the high states of the trigger pulse.
3.2.1 Pulse width trigger mode (V-Reset)
Note.1: The camera does NOT switch to the normal mode when the long exposure mode is set
Note.2: The video output is going to be V reset by the next internal HD signal immediate after the exposure is
finished.
Note.3: The exposure time sets by the pulse width of the trigger signal.

In this mode, the exposure can be start during the video is out from the camera without the horizontal noises.
Therefore, generates the SUB pulse to sweep the charges during the horizontal blanking to prevent from getting

4 The communication protocol specifications
This camera has the communication function that enables external devises like PC control the camera functions.
Please use “CLCtrl” communication software or use following the communication protocol to communicate to the
camera.
Note. 1) The communication problem may occur under the following conditions:
1. When the external sync frequency is illegal (more than 1% off from the specified frequency).
2. When external sync is unstable (In another word the bad external sync signal).
3. About for one second after switching from/to external sync mode to/from internal sync mode.
4. About for one second after switching frame rate.
4.1 The communication method
UART (RS232C), binary communication
4.2 The communication settings

4.4.3 Sequence for the command saves to the EEPROM
Please use below sequence for the command saves to the EEPROM
1) Set “1” to the 80H.0 for the accept “write control to the EEPROM”.
2) Send the command and the save data with the EEPROM access command, which is set “1” for the page
selection.
3) The camera send back the one of the below receiving code after write EEPROM.
01H: OK
10H: EEPROM write error
4) 80H.0 is changed to “0” automatically after write EEPROM.
Note.1) DO NOT saves to the EEPROM when 80H.0 is “0”.
Note.2) When save the multiple sequence command to the EEPROM, all data save to the EEPROM by one
operation from 1) to 4).
Example of the multiple sequence command: “10H, 11H, 12H and 13H” or “22H, 23H and 24H”.
Note.3) When save the multiple command data, which is not sequence command, to the EEPROM, it is
necessary to operate the number of times from 1) to 4).
Example of the multiple command: “10H, 13H, 19H and 1BH” or “20H, 23H and 25H”.
