CTL Connector
Picolo Pro 3 and Module Pro 3 offer five I/O lines named IO1, IO2, IO3, IO4 and IO5.
They are available on the on-board RJ-45 female connector, named CTL.
They can be used by the MultiCam software driver as inputs, outputs or trigger lines.
They have a common ground and are TTL compliant.

The CTL connector also holds one RS-485 half-duplex serial communication line. This one is terminated with a removable 120Ω resistor. To modify the 120Ω termination setting, see RS-485 Serial Line Termination Jumper.
Picolo Pro 3, Module Pro 3 and Module 12 Pro 3 also provide 10-pin header internal connectors, named MOD LINK. Using flat cables, MOD LINK connectors allow to interconnect Picolo Pro 3, Modules Pro 3 or Module 12 Pro 3 and/or MIO Modules. For more details, see Connecting Module Pro 3, Connecting Module 12 Pro 3 and Connecting MIO Module to Picolo Pro 3.
