An image trigger initiates the capture of single or multiple frames of a digital camera by analysing the signals of its sensor.
For capturing and analysing of fast moving objects modern high speed cameras are frequently used.Typically the initiation of an image-series starts as soon as the object is entirely visible in the field of the camera.
By using a so-called "image trigger" this task can be done much faster and more accurately, without the cost and effort of additional equipment as in standard methods.
The on-board "ImageBLITZ" image trigger uses the live picture of the camera itself as a flexible and accurate sensor, with the result that the process synchronisation takes care of itself.
