toggle switch above these connectors is in the down position to select the

6 Optionally, digital input signals from an external system can be input to the
“DIGITAL INPUT” socket on the QMC where they are made available on the
“DIGITAL OUTPUT” sockets to all MAP boxes.
7 Trigger cable(s) from the AccesIO tail board to the camera(s).
8 FireWire cable(s) from the FireWire card in the computer to the camera(s). If
there are two cameras, there must be an empty FireWire socket between the
two connections to the FireWire board or maximum frame rates will not be
achievable.
Cables Too Short between Camera(s) and MAP/CinePlex Computer
Plexon supplies several lengths of these cables from 7 feet (2 meters) to 26
feet (8 meters). Please contact Plexon if one of these standard lengths will
work in the installation. Note that cable lengths over 26 feet result in intermittent
video signals at higher frame rates and are NOT RECOMMENDED.
Unstable Camera Mounting
Camera mounts must be stable or the resulting video data will shake and not
be repeatable. This can be the case, for example, when a tripod is used to
mount a camera, instead of the preferred wall or ceiling mount. Please refer to
“Appendix C- Lens Selection, Experiment Design, and Camera Installation”.
