Power supply

You can either use Power over CoaXPress (PoC) or the power supply of the external digital I/O port.

Digital I/O port

The following connector is required for the digital I/O port:

15 pin HD D-Sub (female)

Pin allocation D-Sub connector (male) of the camera

You can configure the digital I/O port as RS422 or as single-ended input or output. It is also possible to configure one output as RS422 and the other output as single-ended.

LED status indicator

Color code	Behaviour	Description
	Off	No power supply or the input voltage is out of range.
	Solid orange	The system is booting.
	Flash_1_1red	The device is powered but not connected (not applicable to a device reliant on PoCXP power).
	AlternateFlash_12_5 green/orange; shown for a minimum of 1s even if connection detection is faster	The Connection detection is in progress, PoCXP is active.
	Flash_12_5 orange; shown for a minimum of 1s even if connection detection is faster	The Connection detection is in progress, PoCXP is not in use.
	AlternateFlash_0_5 red/green	The device/host is incompatible, PoCXP is active.
	AlternateFlash_0_5 red/orange	The device/host is incompatible, PoCXP is not in use.
	Solid red	PoCXP is over-current (host only).
	Solid green	The device/host is connected, but no data is transferred.
	Flash_1_ orange	The device/host is connected, waiting for event (e.g. trigger).
	Flash_12_5 green	The device/host is connected, data is being transferred.
	500ms red pulse	Error during data transfer (e.g. CRC error, single-bit error) is detected. In case of multiple errors, there shall be at least two green Flash_12_5 pulses, before the next error is indicated.
	AlternateFlash_0_5 green/orange	A connection test packet is being sent.
	AlternateFlash_0_5 red/green/orange	The compliance test mode is enabled (device only).
	Flash_12_5 red	A system error (e.g. internal error) ocurred.
