Camera Controller Wiring Schematic#
The Harp CameraController (Gen2) device is configured to generate pulses at two different frame rates in parallel to trigger synchronised frame captures from two independent sets of cameras.
Connections#
The camera controller requires three connections:
The output trigger signals, sent to initiate frame captures on the cameras, are carried by two RJ45 cables to a breakout board, where the signal can be split to the trigger line of all cameras in the set.
A common clock signal is provided via a 3.5mm mini-jack connection to the timestamp generator.
A USB connection to the behaviour machine is used to both power the device (no need for external 24V power supply) and to enable communication and data acquisition.
