PRELIMINARY

3.3 Providing External Triggering

There are two ways to provide external triggering to the 2K & 4K TDI LVDS cameras:

•Directly send the external trigger to the camera’s DB15 connector as mentioned earlier.

•Provide an external trigger to the frame grabber and it will send the EXSYNC signal to the camera.

3.3.1Direct Trigger

In this configuration, the EXSYNC is sent directly to the camera from the external LVDS trigger source (frame grabber, shaft encoder, etc.).

3.3.2LVDS Trigger Source

If the external trigger source is LVDS, it can be directly interfaced to the camera as illustrated below.
