sony camera triggered aquisition with PCI-1405, interlacing?

I am using a PCI-1405 to aquire an image from a Sony XC-ES30 camera.  I am using a DC-700 camera adapter.  I can aquire images fine in a non-triggered mode, or even when triggering the camera card and letting the camera shutter speed be defined internally.  But when I try a triggered aquisition I have an issue that only every other line in the image has a signal.   I am using "LL triggered snap" or similar.  I am setting the exposure time with the trigger length, in 'reset' mode.  I have the external trigger connected to both the camera controller box and the PCI card.  (If I don't have both connected I don't get an image at all.)  Am I losing the signal because I am not setting up things correctly given that the camera is interlacing?  Any thoughts?

 

Thanks much.

Hi c5,

 

I check the specs of your camera and it is interlaced. That means that it captures the even lines one frame and the odd lines the next.

Thanks.  Once I found how to choose the right setting for interlacing it worked.
