7 DIGITAL IF (Interface) connector (26-pin)
You can connect a Camera Link cable to this connector to control a camera
module from a host device utilizing the serial communication protocol while
outputting a video signal from the camera module. You can input the
external trigger signal via the 26-pin connector and operate a camera
module in the external trigger mode. The pin configuration of this connector
is as follows.
(For details on the pin arrangement, see Figure E-7.)

Note
When you operate a camera module by inputting an external trigger signal
via the 26-pin connector, make sure to input external trigger signals that
meet the following specifications to both the two pins.
Specifications for the External Trigger Signal
Amplitude: LVDS using a 3.3 volt IC
Connections: Input a TRIG (–) signal to the 9th pin.
Input a TRIG (+) signal to the 22nd pin.
Connecting the cables Fig. F
Connect the camera cable to the DC IN connector and the Camera Link
cable to the digital interface cable respectively. Also, if needed, connect the
monitor cable to the monitor output connector and the serial cable to the
RS-232C connector respectively. When you connect the Camera Link cable
or monitor cable, turn the two fastening screws on the connector to secure
the cable tightly.
1 DC IN connector 2 Digital interface connector
3 Camera cable 4 Camera Link cable
5 Fastening screws 6 Serial cable
7 Monitor cable 8 Monitor output connector
9 RS-232C connector
Connect the other end of the camera cable to the DC-700 / 700CE and the
other end of the Camera Link cable to the camera module interface board.
Also, if needed, connect the other end of the monitor cable to the monitor
and the other end of the serial cable to the camera control device.
Controlling the camera from the host device
You can control the camera from host devices such as a PC. The following

Note
Make sure to supply power to the camera module and confirm that the
camera module is operating before inputting a trigger signal. If you input
external signals to a camera module without the power supplied, this may
cause a mulfunction of the camera module.
Using a tripod
To use the tripod, install the tripod adaptor VCT-ST70I (not supplied) on the
camera module.
Use a tripod screw with a protrusion (4) extending
from the installation surface, as follows:
ISO standard: Length 4.5 mm ±0.2 mm
ASA standard: Length 0.197 inches
Note
If you install a tripod adapter (not supplied), use the screws provided.

Typical CCD Phenomena
The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD
cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module.
Smear
This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the
sun, or a strong reflection.
This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared
radiation deep in the photosensor. It appears as a vertical smear, since the
CCD imaging element uses an interline transfer system.
Vertical aliasing
When you shoot vertical stripes or lines, they may appear jagged.
Blemishes
A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual sensor elements
(pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will cause a single pixel blemish
in the picture. (This is generally not a problem.)
White speckles
When you shoot a dark object at a high temperature, small white dots may
appear all over the image.
Note
If strong light enters a wide area of the screen, the screen may become
dark. This is not a malfunction. If this occurs, avoid strong light or adjust the
lens iris to reduce the light amount.
