RGB105 kHz
RGB + Mono (NIR)80 kHz

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)
neo-digital%20io%20port-v03Pin 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.
