.icd file needed for Pulnix TMC-7DSP camera

[Cimteker]

I am using Pulnix TMC-7DSP camera with composite video and I am getting constant problems acquiring images. Errors are: "invalid colorburst" or "unstable blanking reference". I found some article that suggested that these values are accessible in Color Advanced tab and can be changed. I tried playing with them but I have no idea what it should be and possibilities are endless. Even if I get it pretty close and number of errors goes down it only stays down for a while. Is it the camera or do I need a very specific icd file?

Thanks.

We have several of the TMC-7DSP cameras here that we use mostly for training. Most of the cameras work fine, however a couple of them give random acquisition errors like you are seeing. There is no special camera file that I know of for this camera. You might want to contact Pulnix and see if there is anything unusual about the composite output on this camera. They might have a better idea about what analog settings would fit their signal best.

I have also used the RGB ouputs on this camera with no problems.
