Fundamental Synchronization Modes

Fundamental modes to synchronize a camera and a frame grabber

Synchronization mode

Description

ANALOG

The only timing information available from the camera is the composite video signal.

DIGITAL

The camera delivers the timing information through a set of digital lines.

MASTER

The camera is due to receive its timing information from the part of the board. The board is the timing master of the camera.

The three fundamental synchronization modes are applicable to the analog cameras attached to a board of the Domino series. For a detailed description of the synchronization mode on Domino series, refer to the Hmode, Hreference, Vmode, and Vreference parameters.
The digital cameras on Grablink series use exclusively the DIGITAL fundamental synchronization mode.
