6 Functions and Operation
Apart from the standard continuous operation, the CV-M77 features three external triggering
modes, Edge Pre-select, Pulse Width Control mode and Readout Delay mode. These 3 external
triggering modes operate with H non-reset. In H non-reset, the exposure will be synchronized to
the internal HD and the exposure will start at the first HD after the negative going edge of the
trigger (see figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1: H non-reset relation
6.1 Input/Output of HD/VD Signal
6.1.1 Input of External HD/VD signals
This setting is factory pre-set. The video output is synchronized with external HD/VD signals if
applied. If no ext. HD signal is input the camera will switch to the internal X-tal controlled HD sync.
If no ext. VD is connected the camera will continue with its internal VD.
The external HD/VD signal is factory preset to TTL signals (2.0-5.0V). The external HD/VD signals
can be 75 ohm terminated by setting the S301-1,2 switches on the PK 8308 board to ON (see
switch settings) – the signal input level is then 4.0 Vp-p ±2.0V.
6.1.2 Output of Internal HD/VD signals
In order to output internal HD/VD signals the S303-1,2 switches on the PK 8308 board have to be
set to OFF. The output can be either TTL level or from a 75Ω source by setting the proper S301
switches on the PK 8308 board to OFF or ON (see switch settings).
6.2 Continuous operation
For applications that do not require asynchronous external trigger but run in continuous operation
this mode is used. On the camera rear panel SW1-5 to SW1-7 are set to OFF for normal internal
trigger mode. The shutter time (the exposure time) is selected by SW1-1 to SW1-4. The mode
setting and the shutter setting can be done via RS 232C control.
6.3 External Trigger Mode
The CV-M77 camera features 3 external triggering modes:
1 Edge Pre-select mode. (Asynchronous reset and exposure start by an ext. trigger pulse)
2 Pulse Width Control mode. (Exposure control by the low period of the ext. trigger pulse)
3 Readout Delay mode. (The readout is controlled by the ext. trigger and an ext. VD signal)
For all three triggering modes the exposure will start at the next internal HD as explained above (H
non-reset). The trigger input can be TTL level or 75 ohm terminated by setting the specific S301
switch on the PK 8308 board to OFF or ON (see switch settings). When 75 ohm terminated the
signal input level is 4.0 Vp-p ±2.0V.
6.3.1 Edge Pre-select Trigger Mode
This trigger mode operates in H non-reset mode. In H non-reset mode the exposure will start at
the first internal HD after the trigger. The trigger input should be longer than or equal to 2 HD (102
µsec.) and shorter than 1msec. The external trigger pulse initiates the capture, and the exposure

time (accumulation time) is governed by the fixed shutter speed set up by the rear panel DIP-
switches or via RS-232C control. The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the
selected shutter time. The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer to timing
charts for details. A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has finished. If
the camera is synchronized to an external HD signal, there are some requirements to the phase
between the ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling edge of the trigger should be less than 8 µsec
before the falling edge of the ext. HD and less than 2 µsec after the falling edge of the ext. HD (see
figure 6-2). Otherwise the jitter will be too high.
To use this mode:
Set SW1-5,6 and to SW1-7 on the rear plate of the camera to “OFF” or use the RS 232C control.

6.3.2 Pulse Width Control Trigger Mode
This trigger mode where the length of the trigger pulse determines the exposure time operates in H
non-reset mode. In H non-reset mode the trigger pulse and the HD signal are synchronized. The
exposure will start at the first HD pulse after the falling edge of the external trigger signal. The
exposure ends at the rising edge of the external trigger signal. The trigger pulse must be longer
than >1H (51µsec) and shorter than 2000 H. To avoid jitter the camera should be synchronized to
an external HD. There are some requirements to the phase between the ext. HD and the Ext.
trigger. The falling edge of the trigger should appear in the interval less than 8 µsec before the
falling edge of the ext. HD and less than 2 µsec after the falling edge of the ext. HD and the rising
edge off the trigger should be fall in the interval 8 µsec before the rising edge of the ext. HD and 2
µsec after rising edge of the ext. HD. (See figure 6-2).
The resulting video signal will start to be read out after the rising edge of the external trigger signal.
The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer to timing charts for details.
A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has finished.
To use this mode:

Set SW1-5 and SW1-6 on the rear plate of the camera to “ON” and SW1-7 to OFF or use the RS
232C control to set-up the PWC mode of the camera.
6.3.3 Frame-delay Readout Mode
This trigger mode operates in H non-reset mode. In H non-reset mode the trigger and HD is
synchronized. The exposure will start at the first HD pulse after the falling edge of the external
trigger signal. The exposure ends at the rising edge of the external trigger signal. The trigger pulse
must be longer than >1H. To avoid jitter, the camera should be synchronized to an external HD.
There are some requirements to the phase between the ext. HD and the Ext. trigger. The falling
and rising edge off the trigger should be within 8 µsec. before the falling and rising edge of the ext.
HD pulse and not later than 2µsec after the falling and rising edge of the HD pulse (see fig. 6.3)
The resulting video signal will first start to be read out after the input of an external VD signal. The
readout delay should not be to long due to visible dark current noise generated in the CCD sensor.
The WEN pulse indicates the start of valid video signal. Refer to timing charts for details.
A new trigger pulse must not be applied before the video read out has finished.
To use this mode:
Set SW1-5 to SW1-7 on the rear plate of the camera to “ON” or use the RS 232C control to set-up
the Frame-delay Readout Mode of the camera.
6.3.4 Long Time Exposure Mode
The exposure time is the interval between 2 ext. VD pulses sent to the VD input of the camera.
The exposure starts after input of the first ext. VD pulse, and ends after the next input of the ext.
VD pulse, which again starts a new exposure.
The long time exposure is a continuous process where each external VD pulse will synchronize the
camera, stop on exposure, start a new exposure and read out the previous accumulated signal.
The exposure can be selected in intervals of complete vertical timing periods (=792H)
This long time exposure mode operates in H non-reset mode. In H non-reset mode the external VD
signal and the internal HD signal are synchronized. The exposure will start at the first HD pulse
after the falling edge of the external trigger signal. Se figure 6-2 for the phase relationship between
ext. HD and ext. VD pulses.
To use this mode:
Set SW1-1 to SW1-7 on the rear plate of the camera to OFF or use the RS 232C control. Apply
the continuous external VD signal.

The SW302 switch has the following functions: The switches (1-2) determines the color
temperature, the switch (3) activates Composite sync. on the green video signal and the switch (4)
outputs the WEN signal at the DSUB connector.
The white balance is dependent on the color temperature of the light. The available settings are:

The S302-3 switch adds in “ON” position the composite sync. signal to the green video signal. The
factory setting is “OFF” leaving the green RGB signal without sync. signals.
The S302-4 switch outputs in “ON” position the WEN signal via pin 7 of the 9-pin DSUB connector.
The factory setting is “OFF”. In the “OFF” position the camera outputs the composite sync. signal
via pin 7 of the 9-pin DSUB connector.

12 Appendix
12.1 Precautions
Personnel not trained in dealing with similar electronic devices should not service this camera.
The camera contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. The handling of these
devices should follow the requirements of electrostatic sensitive components.
Do not attempt to disassemble this camera.
Do not expose this camera to rain or moisture.
Do not face this camera towards the sun, extreme bright light or light reflecting objects.
When this camera is not in use, put the supplied lens cap on the lens mount.
Handle this camera with the maximum care.
Operate this camera only from the type of power source indicated on the camera.
Power off the camera before any modification such as changes of jumper and switch settings are
performed.
12.2 Typical CCD Characteristics
The following effects may be observed on images acquired by CCD cameras. They do not indicate
any fault of the CCD camera function, but associate with typical CCD sensor characteristics.
12.2.1 Smear
Due to an excessive bright object such as car lights, the sun or strong reflection, vertical smear
may be visible. This phenomenon is related to the characteristics of the Interline Transfer System
employed in the CCD.
12.2.2 Aliasing
When the CCD camera captures stripes, straight lines or similar sharp patterns, jagged images
may appear.
12.2.3 Blemishes
12.2.3.1.1.1.1
Some pixel defects can occur. This does in general not have an effect
on the practical operation.
12.2.4 Patterned Noise
When the CCD camera captures a dark object at high temperature or is used for long time
integration, fixed pattern noise (shown as bright dots) may appear on the image.
