CTRL (RS-232 Control)

The CTRL port is located on the back of the KOMODO Expander Module.

Connect to this port to provide communication between the camera and external devices.

Specifications

The 4-pin 00B CTRL Connector supports RS-232 remote control for 3D camera communication and third-party metadata ingest applications.

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 the start of record, and the falling edge represents the end of record.

For more information about controlling the camera using RS-232, download the RCP2 documentation.
