Timing Units

Structure

A timing unit is a set of analog and digital resources aimed at producing all internal and external relevant timing signals in relation with a camera.

A timing unit is closely associated to a camera connector. According to the synchronization mode, the timing unit delivers timing data to the camera, and/or senses timing data from the camera.

The timing units structure can be conceptualized as follows.

Timing units

The task of a timing unit is to generate appropriate timing signal to the digitizing unit.

Master Operation

When operated in the master synchronization mode, Domino Melody delivers a horizontal drive pulse to the camera.

The frequency of this synchronization signal, as reported by the LineRate_Hz parameter, can take any value defined by the user.
