Description

The screen trigger device is a small optical sensor that can be mounted in the corner of a screen. It contains a photo diode with build in amplifier that senses the intensity of the screen locally. It has a BNC output that gives 0 Volt output when the screen is locally black and 5 V output when the screen is locally white. This can be used to create a digital timing signal for changes on the screen.

Design

The screen trigger devices has a TSL25xR photo sensor with build-in amplifier.

Speed test Screen Trigger Device

A led was connected to the output of the function generator. The led was used to illuminate the photo diode.

  • The function generator signal is shown in yellow.
  • The output of the screen trigger detector is shown in red.
  • Risetime and falltime of the screen trigger detector is about 0.2 mSec
