2.4.4.1 Trigger Commands

To synchronize a camera with the displayed patterns, the DLPC900 supports three pattern modes:

  • Video Pattern Mode (applicable when pattern data from RGB parallel port):
    • VSYNC used as trigger input.
    • TRIG_OUT_1 frames the exposure time of the pattern.
    • TRIG_OUT_2 : marks the beginning of each pattern start with 20-µs pulse and can be selectively disabled for individual patterns.
  • Pre-Stored Pattern Mode (applicable for pattern data from flash):
    • TRIG_IN_1 advances to next pattern, while TRIG_IN_2 starts and pauses the pattern sequence.
    • TRIG_OUT_1 frames the exposure time of the pattern.
    • TRIG_OUT_2 : marks the beginning of each pattern start with 20-µs pulse and can be selectively disabled for individual patterns.
  • Pattern On-The-Fly Mode (patterns downloaded over USB/I2C)
    • Triggers are the same as Pre-Stored Pattern Mode

Figure 2-8 shows an example in video pattern mode. The VSYNC starts the pattern sequence display. The pattern sequence consists of a series of four patterns followed by a series of three patterns and then repeats. The first pattern sequence consists of P1, P2, P3, and P4. The second pattern sequence consists of P5, P6, and P7. TRIG_OUT_1 frames each pattern exposed while TRIG_OUT_2 is user programmable and in this example, indicates the start of each pattern in the sequence. If the pattern sequence is configured without dark time between patterns, then the TRIG_OUT_1 output remains high for the entire pattern sequence. This example uses internal triggering, so TRIG_IN_x signals are not used.

Figure 2-9 shows an example in pre-stored pattern mode. Pattern sequences of four are displayed. TRIG_OUT_1 frames each pattern exposed, while TRIG_OUT_2 is user programmable and in this example, indicates the start of each pattern in the sequence. If the pattern sequence is configured without dark time between patterns, then the TRIG_OUT_1 output remains high for the entire pattern sequence. This example uses internal triggering, so TRIG_IN_x signals are not used.
