[. . . ] Although we have received confirmation that the camera currently does operate in this way, we are told that its functionality will be altered to match the one described in the manual. This revised functionality will cause the DCFs for the 1/60N camera mode to require modification. Please contact Matrox Imaging Applications at (514) 969-6061 in order to obtain assistance in making these modifications another modification that we are told will be made to the camera concerns the polarity of the first field to be output by the camera when in 1/30I mode. Currently the first field that is output is said to be ODD. After modification, the first field to be output will be EVEN. Once this alteration is made there will be a problem with the setting of the field polarity in the DCFs that will manifest itself in one or two ways: the jagged appearance of diagonal lines and/or the absence of either all the odd lines or all the even lines in the acquired image. These problems can be solved by modifying the DCFs at the hardware register level. A hardware register editor is provided by running Intellicam with the -hwreg option (specifically by running INTELCAM -hwreg). An additional menu item, HW REGISTER EDITOR" appears on the main menu screen; select this option using the " , cursor and the enter key. If diagonal lines appear jagged in the acquired image, the FLDPOL bit of the 16-bit PSG_POLCTL register must be changed. Use the arrow keys to find the PSG_POLCTL register and once there, use the F2 key to view the individual bits of this register. · · PUL-CID-016 4 Interfacing non-standard cameras to Matrox Pulsar Toshiba IK-543 Special Considerations Continued Application Note: April 12, 1996 Again use the arrow keys to find the FLDPOL bit of the PSG_POLCTL register and once this bit is found, use the F2 key to view the options; use the arrow keys and the enter key to make a selection. When operating the camera in continuous mode, only the FLDPOL bit need be changed to correct for a field inversion. If every second line of the image is missing, causing the image to appear darker, either the odd lines or the even lines are missing from the frame. If this is the case, the FLDSEL bit of the 16-bit PSG_EXTCTL register must be changed. [. . . ] Dorval, Quebec, Canada H9P 2T4 Tel: (514) 685-7230 Fax: (514) 822-6273 Sales Offices: U. K.
