Note: When GENLOCK is selected as the sensor shutter reference, shutter start timing (SHUTTER
PHASE) may still be adjusted. HD-SDI monitor outputs will automatically sync to the external
GENLOCK signal as soon as it is detected, there is no need to enable this function. Sensor shutter
sync to GENLOCK is only supported with HD-SDI.

PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
1 GROUND Common Ground
2 SS/GPI Shutter Sync / GPI Trigger Input
3 TIMECODE SMPTE unbalanced timecode Input
4 GENLOCK RS170A Tri-Level Sync Input
NOTE: The Camera Brain’s Shutter Sync / GPI Trigger uses a 3.3 V Schmitt trigger (5 V tolerant). It
is not a switch closure circuit. Therefore, it requires current supplied by the trigger source. Both
edges of the input signal may be used as a trigger.
For example, when GPI trigger is used for Record Start / Stop.
Start Record: On Ground to 3.3 V transition
During Record: Hold at 3.3 V
Stop Record: On 3.3 V to Ground transition
During Stop: Hold at Ground
