6.7.4 Synchronous operation with shutter
In the sensor is implemented a freeze frame shutter, which allows to reduce the exposure time in steps
of one line. The minimum value of the exposure time is the duration of 2 line periods, which is deter-
mined by the value of r2 (min. 001h).

6.7.5 External synchronisation with synchronous exposure
MC132x cameras can be synchronized to an external signal that is input on the EXP (TRIG) signal. The
strobe output signal of a MC132x “master camera” can be used for that purpose.
See timing diagram: Synchronous exposure with external synchronisation via TRIG
The cameras frame rate must be set to a frequency slightly higher than the maximum frequency of the
synchronization signal. The minimum frequency should be higher than 30Hz.
Command: :rf001 000 … deselect external sync signal
001 … select external sync signal
This is an example for enabling this function. Depending on the wanted camera
mode it can be necessary to add additional bits of this register .
Response: ACK if enabled by separate command :A<n>
Command: :rf001
<0> ... deselect external sync signal
<1> ... select external sync signal
Response: ACK if enabled by separate command :A<n>
