System information

MX Control Card Configuration
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference A-9
Table A-8 shows the TTL settings to which your external switch must
pull the Remote input pins in order to trigger the remote capture.
Remote Output Status Events
Table A-9 shows the status events output by the Remote control after
the remote capture has been triggered (where High=5V and
Low=0V). You can configure other devices in your system to read
these events and respond accordingly.
Important
GPO 1 and GPO 2 are duplicated on both the GPIO and Remote sockets. This
is not intended to enable users to connect multiple devices by using both
sockets, rather it makes GPO available to the majority of users who are likely
to use only this Remote socket.
