SYNC (Video Sync In)

The 4-Pin 00B Sync Connector accepts timecode, genlock, and General Purpose Input (GPI) signals.

NOTE: Mating connector is FGG.00.304.CLAD.

SYNC Trigger Button Circuit

The SYNC connector has a 3.3 V Schmitt trigger (5 V tolerant). The trigger is not a switch closure circuit, so it requires that the trigger source supplies current. Both edges of the input signal may be used as a trigger.

For example, this is the behavior of the circuit when the GPI trigger is used for record start/stop:

• Start Record: On ground to 3.3 V transition
• During Record: Hold at 3.3 V
• Stop Record: On 3.3 V to ground transition
• During Stop: Hold at ground

NOTE: In the diagram above, values are approximate. Use standard values.

CTRL (RS232 Control)

The 4-Pin 00B CTRL Connector supports RS232 remote control for 3D camera communication and third-party metadata ingest applications. For more information, go to BRAIN GPIO.

The General Purpose Out (GPO) tally presents 3.3 V at a maximum of 0.04 A between pins 1 and 3. When used as a record tally, the rising edge of the pulse indicates start of record, falling edge represents end of record.

For more information about controlling the camera via RS232, download the R.C.P.™ SDK.

GIG-E (Ethernet)

The GIG-E 9-pin 0B connector provides a 1000BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab) gigabit Ethernet connection for remote camera setup, master/slave camera communication, and external metadata ingest. Since the GIG-E connector does not support slower speeds (10BASE-T and 100BASE-T), ensure that any device you connect to supports 1000BASE-T.
