Mode Settings Video Output Modes This unit has two video signal output modes. Select the mode with the binning mode switch (DIP switch 0) on the rear panel. DIP switches Rear panel Binning mode Binning OFF Signals for each independent pixel are output from the VIDEO OUT connector every 1/50.0 s (line sequential output).
Mode Settings About the Electronic Shutter There are two shutter types: normal shutter and external trigger shutter. Select them with the DIP switches on the rear panel. DIP Switches on the Rear Panel Rear panel DIP switches Switches 1 to 4: Shutter speed switches* Switch 5: High-rate scan mode switch*...

For more information, see “External Trigger Shutter” (page 16).
Mode Settings Restart/Reset To Set Restart/Reset Mode The information on one screen can be extracted at any time by externally inputting restart/reset signals (HD/VD). To enter this mode, set the trigger shutter switches (6 to 8) on the rear panel of the camera as shown in the figure below.
Mode Settings To Use High-rate Scan Mode (A) As shown in the table below, you can increase the frame rate by setting the high-rate scan mode switch and the external VD width and frequency. The image obtained is centered as shown below. X lines 580 lines External VD...
Mode Settings External Trigger Shutter When you set the trigger pulse width to 1/3 of a second Inputting an external trigger pulse enables the camera or more, the output signal changes to the normal to capture fast-moving objects clearly with precise VIDEO signal.
Mode Settings To Set the External Trigger Shutter There are two ways to set the shutter speed. Using trigger pulse width Set all DIP switches (1 to 4 on the rear panel) to OFF. Using the DIP switches on the rear panel You can obtain an arbitrary shutter speed by setting the trigger pulse width to the range of 2 µ...
