This chapter describes how to use a Hirose trigger connector and cable with the SMX-
12A2x camera. Hirose trigger connector is included in the standard camera kit. Since a 
cable is not included in the standard connector package, this document will guide on 
how to use the connector with a cable. For more information on trigger settings that 
can be configured in the camera application, see 
Connector Pinout
The following table explains layout of trigger pins..

Note:
If you connect the camera to an external power supply via the trigger connector instead of PoE adapter, you can 
achieve better quality of video output.
Powering via External Trigger
Powering the camera via the Hirose trigger is more reliable than via the PoE power 
supply. It is safer for both the camera and the net card and is more reliable for data 
transfer.
