NIC. See "

• A single 12-pin Hirose male connector for camera power plus trigger, strobe and general I/O signals. The
suggested female cable mating connector is Hirose model HR10A-10P-12S.
The Genie has one multicolor LED to provide a simple visible indication of camera state (see figure below and
