3	Connector for additional fan	4	Status LED

Line rate

Configuration (8 bit)	Line rate
Mono	240 kHz
RGB	80 kHz
RGB + Mono (NIR)	60 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)

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.

Single-Ended (SE) configuration

The input threshold voltage can be configured globally to 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V and 24 V. The Maximum input voltage is 28 V. The set voltage level is then active for all single ended inputs and outputs.

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.
